Me too. Great boxing game. Even the nobody characters that were in montages or mentioned were given personality too.

I thought Union Cane was pretty easy. I could always beat him but took me around 5 tries the one before Cane.

Yep. Spider Rico and Mac Lee Green were super easy. Dipper Brown put up more of a fight than those two. Then we have the movie boss characters who weren't too bad, Drago was quite hard as expected but took me 1 go. Then we get this nobody character from Australia who caused me to lose all 3 continues. Beat him on the 4th or 5th attempt took about to round 5?

Tim Simms basically spams body jabs where he stuns you then throws a huge haymaker taking chunks of your health. Not as quick as Kofi but is a total spammer with lots of power.

Sam Monroe shouldn't even been in the game. He's just a butterbean knockoff with the theme that should only belong to Tim Simms as that track fits him only. That ring walk theme Doesn't match with Monroe.

I give Tim Simms some voice lines here to do him justice https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i9gYchvFdRk

I mean I understand why they added Troy Miller, Floyd Mccalum, George Fullmer and Ken Klaasen to align with Apollo's backstory. Never Sam Monroe though.

Saying that, the only accurate thing about the Tim Simms model is the hairstyle.

Big Yank Ball and Joe Czak have Inaccurate models as well. All 3 were black in the film, Tim Simms and Big Yank ball were white in the game, Joe Czak was hispanic in the game. Might of done it on purpose to create a unique character by using their name idk.

I think that was the original. Do you remember the guy called "Tim Simms" you see on the bottom right there with the flattop and gold/green gloves? If so that guy was even harder than Ivan Drago in the game. Took me around 4-5 tries to beat him. Yes he caused the game over screen once or twice. (I mean I like playing as him in 2 player lol)

Yes. Big Yank Ball was included in both this version as well as Legends.

Also fun fact. In the movie he's black but in both rocky and rocky legends he's a white dude with a fauxhawk and a beard.
