I really like what they are trying to do with this game

I love boxing and I can tell this game is trying to simulate it, but the thing that irks me with this game is that the control feels like GTA4 physics. Every step is bigger than I want it to be, everything takes longer than it should. I'm very disconnected from my fighter, like trying to steer a boat. Also it's kind of weird how I can see an opening for a 1-2, and I'll be using friggin Larry Holmes and he'll throw the lamest flop of a 1-2 you've ever seen. As if the fighters in the game don't feel like trying anymore. It makes me sad.
