Champion Boxing
拳击：Champion
Champion Boxing is a 1984 arcade sports game developed by Sega that puts players in control of a boxer viewed from a behind-the-back perspective. One or two players can compete, either against each other or against CPU opponents. The player controls their boxer using joystick movements combined with button inputs to throw jabs, hooks, and body blows, while also managing defense by blocking or dodging incoming punches. Matches are structured as timed rounds, with victory achieved by knockout or points decision. The game features multiple opponent boxers with varying styles and difficulty levels, requiring players to adapt their strategies accordingly. Its two-player competitive mode made it a popular choice in arcades during its release period.
