Each player is a boxing manager with a stable of two boxers, one a light weight contender and the other a heavy weight. Each turn you take one of your rested fighters and challenge one of your opponents fighters. You begin the game with 12 fight cards ranging from 1 to 5. For each bout you choose four of which you will use up to 3 for the 3 round event. A knock out will of course end the fight early. Each round players select 1 card and reveal it simultaneously. The higher card wins the round, ties go to the defender and ones beat fives. And how could you have boxing without betting. Everyone gets in on this including the managers involved in the current contest. Challenges go on until there are no longer enough cards to stage a fight. Whoever has won the most money through fights and bets is the winner.
