“Sega owners have been waiting a long time for a good boxing cart. Virgin looks as if they have another winner.”
“When it comes down to it, it's the playability of the thing that really matters and unfortunately this one's a bit of a pooper.”
“Park Place designed this sim in which you can help the legendary Ali recapture his title by beating off nine other heavyweight challengers. The 3D boxing ring graphics, the controls and the whole feel of the game capture the atmosphere better than any other boxing game.”
“There are ten boxers you must beat before becoming the number one rank. Each boxer is superbly animated and the ringside atmosphere is terrific. Even if you're not a boxing fan, this is a real knockout.”
Undated scores are from the review table in the game's Wikipedia article, limited to reviews of the Genesis version.
