Here's a vid of me (Johnny "Clockwork" Five, a la "Short Circuit"), a Featherweight, versus Muhammad "The Greatest" Ali. Although I'm wearing my Power Gloves, Ali's got almost twice as high of a Strength Rating as I do... No worries.
Ali, along with Roy Jones Jr, is one of the bigger challenges this game can offer. Ali has speed, size, and power, and his Special Punch is both powerful and direct... He's still no match for "Number Johnny Five"!!!
Rd 1, we battle for a good while in the corner, and I take his health down more than halfway before he knocks me down. You can see I'm a big proponent of the Counter Haymaker, especially the "Tide Turner" when dazed. It's a great way to keep your punch speed up while your opponent punches himself into exhaustion.
I managed to parry a right hook while dazed, but I couldn't get the counter going. He ends up catching me with a left uppercut to my chin, and I go down for a 2-count. By the end of the round, his punch meter is down almost 50%.
I end up with almost 50% swelling damage, but I get it cleared up by the end of the break. My Cutman... The Shizzeal fo Rizzeal...
Rd 2, and more of the same. We meet in the middle, and I parry/counter a left. This illustrates the importance of keeping your punch speed and power up, as Ali's punches start to lose power and speed, making it easier to defend/exploit them.
However, he still manages to work my health down, and I get dazed again. This time, I successfully counter and send him reeling with a Left Haymaker. Now with him dazed, I throw a couple of jabs to his body to make him drop his hands, and send him to the canvas with a RLR combo!
Ali rises after a 7 count, but is clearly not the same. After a couple of misses, I finally start connecting again and work his health down to zero.
With about 20 seconds left to go in R2, I knock him down again. This time, I use a Left Haymaker to his face, and his red mouthpiece flies out... No need to put it back in, as he collapses back to the canvas while being counted out.
Not my best performance, but I hope you can enjoy it anyway...

He's my "custom" career fighter. I named him after the robot from the movie "Short Circuit" (1986).
