Rocky's skills and fitness have greatly improved under the watchfuleye of Mickey. His will to win is unrivalled.

Trainer's Comments:
Rocky is in his prime and can go toe-to-toe with just about anyone.He still wants to win, but does he have the "Eye of the Tiger" ?
Rocky still has his granite chin and superb punch strength. With many victoriousdefences of his belt his confidence has soared. However, his training regimehas suffered, reducing his stamina and true staying power.

-Reach: 74
-Record: W58 - L21 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Rocky's learnt everything there is to know about boxing. His focus,courage and strength are at a peak. His ability to take punishment is atan amazing level right now.
Although slowing down slightly, Rocky has stepped up his training usingold-fashioned, grueling methods. His speed and power aren't quite what theyused to be, but he's still tough as nails.
Rocky Balboa V
-Nationality: American
-Age: 36

-Weight: 209 lbs
-Reach: 74
-Record: W59 - L21 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Retired from boxing due to injury, Rocky now runs a gym and stilltrains daily. What he lacks physically he makes up with experience.
'Once a fighter, always a fighter, this still rings true for Rocky. He isn'tin the ring anymore but he could still knock out most who come up againsthim.
Rocky Statue
-Nationality: Made in USA
-Age: 5
-Height: 5'11
-Weight: 1200 lbs
-Reach: 74
-Record: W0 - L0 - D0
Trainer's Comments:
The Rocky statue, presented to Balboa by the good people of Philadelphia.Cast in solid metal, he's gonna be a hard opponent to beat.
This is a boxer who will quite literally test your mettle. The statue's fistsweighs around 80lbs each, so you really have to make sure his gloves don'tconnect - otherwise you'll end up kissing the canvas.
Big Yank Ball
-Nationality: American
-Age: 33
-Height: 6'4
-Weight: 248 lbs
-Reach: 84
-Record: W42 - L13 - D0
Trainer's Comments:
Big Yank is a goliath of a boxer and as tough as they come. His punchstrength and dirty tactics are unrivalled.
The Sergeant is so strong he could probably knock out most of his opponentswith just one haymaker punch. Thankfully his speed isn't too good, so whenyou see one of his hooks coming, duck or block, attack, then step out ofrange.
Dipper Brown
-Nationality: American
-Age: 33
-Height: 6'3
-Weight: 225 lbs
-Reach: 80
-Record: W42 - L18 - D2
Trainer's Comments:
Dipper's an experienced journeyman who will give any boxer a runfor their money, so stay alert!
Dipper can pound all day, he also has good power too. Take the fight to himand keep piling the pressure on, at some point his concentration will slip,then step it up and let him have it.
Union Cane
-Nationality: American
-Age: 32
-Height: 6'2
-Weight: 218 lbs
-Reach: 82
-Record: W34 - L3 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Union Cane is a gifted boxer with speed and power, he's a goodall-rounder. So don't take anything for granted with this guy.
Cane is as sharp as a razor and extremely fit. He takes all his opponentsseriously, studying their boxing style before each fight. Mix it up withCane, keep him on his toes using jabs, then switch to hooks and uppercutsand switch again. Remember to stay alert!
Joe Chan
-Nationality: Chinese
-Age: 22
-Height: 5'10
-Weight: 181 lbs
-Reach: 74
-Record: W21 - L6 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Although Chan is a small heavyweight, what he lacks in power he makes upfor with guts, heart and an excellent boxing brain. He's a tricky fighter!
Chan can hit and move with great pace, so tagging this guy can be extremelydifficult. Try to disrupt his rhythm whenever you can. Go for lots of quickcombos and throw a super-punch if he's stunned.
Bob Cray
-Nationality: American
-Age: 34
-Height: 6'2
-Weight: 268 lbs
-Reach: 80
-Record: W56 - L28 - D3
Trainer's Comments:
Cray is a seasoned fighter with an amazing chin. He can take justabout any shot.
Slightly overweight and in his boxing twilight years, Bob is looking forhis last big pay cheque and will go that little bit extra to get it. Hischin is his best attribute, but his soft stomach isn't. Sap his stamina bygoing to the body only, then go to the head.
Apollo Creed I
-Nationality: American
-Age: 32
-Height: 6'2
-Weight: 210 lbs
-Reach: 81
-Record: W46 - L0 - D0
Trainer's Comments:
Apollo is very experienced and has the fastest hands of any heavyweightin the game.
Get in close and throw quick combos to the body then step out of range. Stayaway from his stinging jabs, and remember to block his flurries.
Apollo Creed II
-Nationality: American
-Age: 33
-Height: 6'2
-Weight: 220 lbs
-Reach: 81
-Record: W46 - L0 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Apollo has learnt to take his training more seriously since his clash withRocky. He's a little slower but much stronger, and determined to win.
Skirt around Apollo, popping out jabs. Stay on the move early in the fight,then dish out the punishment mid-way through. Keep the pressure on and prayhe runs out of steam before you do.
Joe Czak
-Nationality: Mexican
-Age: 31
-Height: 6'1
-Weight: 218 lbs
-Reach: 78
-Record: W39 - L7 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
The Mexican Whirlwind, Joe Czak is a hard hitting brawler with anunorthodox fight style. He uses short punches to great effect and can takea good shot too.
Czak is at the top of his game and has gone the distance with all rankedcontenders. His punches sting, but lack crucial KO power. What he lacks inpunch strength he makes up for in endurance, so take your time and wear thisguy down.
Ivan Drago
-Nationality: Russian
-Age: 24
-Height: 6'5
-Weight: 261 lbs
-Reach: 84
-Record: W14 - L0 - D0
Trainer's Comments:
Drago is a new breed of fighter, ultra-fit and trained to perfection.This guy is tough but he ain't unbeatable.
To win against Drago you have to take the fight to him and break his spirit.Don't mess about with fancy footwork - just hit him hard, hit him fast andkeep your guard up.
Mac Lee Green
-Nationality: Canadian
-Age: 28
-Height: 6'0
-Weight: 218 lbs
-Reach: 76
-Record: W36 - L14 - D0
Trainer's Comments:
Green is Canada's sharpest fighter. This guy has built his reputation onhis no-nonsense, get the job done, boxing style.
You won't get any surprises from this guy. He uses a head-on approach. Ifhe can get on the inside and dig away, hr will. Dance around him and useyour jab, then try straight rights and big hooks to demoralize.
Tommy Gunn
-Nationality: American
-Age: 23
-Height: 6'2
-Weight: 225 lbs
-Reach: 80
-Record: W19 - L0 - D2
Trainer's Comments:
Tommy Gunn is described as the "Great White Hope". He's young, fastand has a lot of heart.
Gunn has youth on his side and gallons of stamina in his tank. Use a balancedattack, stick and move then mix it up with a few body blow combos to keephim on his toes.
Burt Judge
-Nationality: American
-Age: 36
-Height: 6'3
-Weight: 277 lbs
-Reach: 81
-Record: W46 - L13 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Burt Judge is a BIG boxer who strikes fear in all his opponents.This hulk of a man has been taught by the best and uses his size and powerto crush any boxer who stands in his way.
In the early rounds you should try and stay out of range of Judge's bombs. Stick and move, wearing him down with jabs, then when he starts to slow hit him with uppercuts. Even when he is looking worn out, watch for a stray haymaker, because it could still floor you.
Clubber Lang
-Nationality: American
-Age: 28
-Height: 6'1
-Weight: 235 lbs
-Reach: 78
-Record: W29 - L1 - D0
Trainer's Comments:
You gotta stay switched on when fighting Clubber, he has immense KO power in both hands.
Don't go toe-to-toe with Clubber, he's too strong. Wear him down with jabs and quick combos, wait for an opening and start throwing those big bombs for a KO finish.
Kofi Langton
-Nationality: Congan
-Age: 23
-Height: 5'11
-Weight: 195 lbs
-Reach: 76
-Record: W18 - L3 - D0
Trainer's Comments:
Stay alert at all times when in the ring with Kofi, he has outstanding hand speed and can mesmerize with his can't-like quickness.
Don't blink or lose your concentration when fighting Kofi. The best tactic is to go for the kill early on and nullify his speed by dodging or blocking, then step in and throw powerful shots to his head and body.
Mickey
-Nationality: American
-Age: 72
-Height: 5'8
-Weight: 135 lbs
-Reach: 68
-Record: W87 - L21 - D2
Trainer's Comments:
Mickey's getting on now, but has trained daily for the last 60 years. He can still punch a bit and has a few boxing tricks up his sleeves.
Mighty Mick ain't quite the athlete he used to be, but he has immense boxing experience. This guy is tricky - he likes to play possom, luring his opponents into a false sense of security before unleashing fearsome combos with deadly accuracy.
Jack Reid
-Nationality: American
-Age: 30
-Height: 6'0
-Weight: 215 lbs
-Reach: 75
-Record: W41 - L19 - D5
Trainer's Comments:
Jack is a stocky powerhouse with superb power. He's always in the gym training, and loves nothing more than a good tear up.
Jack ain't the tallest of fighters and has a short reach. He tends to take two hits to land one of his own. Play a waiting game, block his blows, move around, keep throwing one-two's and you might just can'tch his chin.
Spider Rico
-Nationality: American
-Age: 35
-Height: 5'11
-Weight: 207 lbs
-Reach: 72
-Record: W33 - L15 - D2
Trainer's Comments:
Spider Rico's been on the circuit for over 15 years now and is past his best, but don't take him too lightly. Rico's strengths lie in his vast experience, he knows every trick in the book and will use them. Dodge his hooks, then counter with jab combos. Grind him down until he runs out of steam.
Ernie Roman
-Nationality: American
-Age: 37
-Height: 6'2
-Weight: 289 lbs
-Reach: 78
-Record: W53 - L25 - D6
Trainer's Comments:
Ernie is a massive slugger with amazing punch strength. He's been round the block and knows the game.
To beat Ernie you gotta take it easy during the first few rounds. Keep chipping away at him, dodging his powerful blows. When he starts to tire, hit him with all you've got.
Buddy Shaw
-Nationality: American
-Age: 24
-Height: 6'3
-Weight: 215 lbs
-Reach: 84
-Record: W22 - L8 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Buddy is a lean, mean, fighting machine. He has an exceptional reach and a stinging jab, making him a tough target to hit. He also loves to frustrate his opponents.
Buddy has great hand speed and can blind his opponents with lightning quick flurries. To get the edge on him try to dodge or get round the side of his jab, then hook and uppercut to his body.
Tim Simms
-Nationality: Australian
-Age: 28
-Height: 6'0
-Weight: 221 lbs
-Reach: 78
-Record: W34 - L5 - D1
Trainer's Comments:
Tim Simms has been inactive for some time due to injury, but is fighting his way back to the top. When fit this guy can really turn on the heat, using his squat heavy frame to throw massive jaw breaking punches.
Simms has an uncanny recovery rate, just when you think you've nailed him he seems to just shake it off and get back into the fight. However, he's not been training as intensively in recent months, making him a little weaker, so use this info to beat up on him before he beats you.
Big Chuck Smith
-Nationality: Irish
-Age: 25
-Height: 6'4
-Weight: 243 lbs
-Reach: 83
-Record: W37 - L8 - D3
Trainer's Comments:
Big Chuck is formidable fighter and relatively quick for his size. He has explosive power in both fists, and can mix it up when the going gets rough.
Big Chuck is tough and has a rock-hard chin. He can dish out punishment for 15 rounds without breaking a sweat, however he ain't too bright and wastes punches, costing him vital energy. Pop jabs in his face early on, then mid-fight switch to big hits and take him down.
Billy Snow
-Nationality: British
-Age: 29
-Height: 6'1
-Weight: 224 lbs
-Reach: 75
-Record: W35 - L10 - D3
Trainer's Comments:
European Heavyweight Champion, Billy Snow has been in the ring with the best, and beaten most of them with his aggressive never-say-die tactics.
Snow has the heart of a lion and the strength of an ox, but lacks self-discipline and can let his temper get the better of him in the heat of the moment. Pester him with combos until his guard drops then open up with all you've got.
Vito Soto
-Nationality: Colombian
-Age: 27
-Height: 6'1
-Weight: 217 lbs
-Reach: 78
-Record: W42 - L11 - D2
Trainer's Comments:
Vito Soto has been the Pan-American Heavyweight champ for the last 4 years. He has all the tools of a great boxer and vast experience, so watch your step!
There's not much to tell on this guy - he's a smart fighter who can handle just about any situation in the ring. Recently Soto's confidence has grown, with this his training and fitness has suffered. Looks like he may run out of steam in later rounds.
Randy Tate
-Nationality: American
-Age: 26
-Height: 5'10
-Weight: 193 lbs
-Reach: 72
-Record: W28 - L12 - D4
Trainer's Comments:
Randy Tate is a good fighter, sparring with many heavyweights. His relatively small size enables him to duck and dodge with ease. He's also a swift mover round the ring.
Tate's usual fight tactic is to harass and frustrate. He likes to keeping moving, popping out jabs then shifting out of range. Push forward with this guy and disrupt his rhythm, keep the pressure on him until he makes a mistake, then grind him down.
