Knockout Kings 2000 is an arcade-style boxing game released by EA Sports for the Nintendo 64 in 1999. Stepping into the ring, players can choose from a massive roster of legendary fighters spanning multiple weight classes, including icons like Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Joe Frazier. The game features fast-paced, hard-hitting exhibition matches alongside a comprehensive Career mode where you can create a custom boxer and fight your way up the ranks to claim the championship belt.
How to Play
Your objective is to defeat your opponent by knockout, technical knockout, or decision at the end of the scheduled rounds. Move your boxer around the ring using the arrow keys. Throw standard punches using the X and C keys, and use your mapped C-buttons for specialized hooks, uppercuts, and blocking. Press Enter to start or pause the match.
Tips
- Manage Your Stamina: Throwing endless power punches will quickly tire your boxer out, leaving you vulnerable. Stick to quick jabs and combinations, and save the big hits for when your opponent is dazed.
- Master the Counter-Punch: Use side-step maneuvers to dodge incoming heavy attacks. A well-timed hook or uppercut immediately after dodging deals massive damage and can easily lead to a quick knockdown.
