boxing help please

[SentineL]

i dont know if the game is broken or if i just suck at blocking but whenever i go to block my body...IT NEVER WORKS!!!! blocking my head works fine but when your going up against the champion blocking your head doesnt do anything since he always goes for body shots. somebody please tell me how to block my body or an easy way to beat the champion. i hate boxing in this game, its buggy as hell, doesnt register anything for me and i just want the damn achievment so i can be done with it forever.

I think if you try and stick your elbows out (when blocking low) - it seems to register better.

It's very hit and miss !! - but just be patient, and you will get there eventually.

There are some good tips on Rare's blog too..

i eventually got it. it seems the farther back you are from the kinect the better itll register the blocks but it still had issues. at first i was about 7-8 back and i had to pretty much have my legs touching my couch to squeeze in and extra foot or two so i would pick up my blocks. i dont know why it would be that way considering at 7ft it can basically see my whole body plus some space above and below me. it was starting to piss me off but i did pull it off in the end and now i have 1250 in the game.

I didn't use a single block in my entire boxing career. There was no need with that 60's disco method of throwing punches. I TKO'ed Champion my first attempt using that method. I couldn't believe it. I was trying to let him stun me so I could get that achievement, but to my surprise he couldn't keep up with me and I knocked him down 3 times in the first round. Maybe I just got lucky.

I blocked for the first two rounds, and then went crazy arms for the last round only, and TKO'd him (for the cheev).

Maybe the champ gets tired in the final round, or maybe I was just lucky.

It's hard to go "controlled" crazy (so you don't hit his block, and triple-power him up).

Good fun getting this cheev tho - but not great when you have to try and raise your arms the next day !!

YouTube - Kinect sports boxing trick

That's the video I watched. I spammed that method and TKO'ed Champion using it. Just make sure you direct the punching spam high or low, depending on where he's blocking. You'll likely get hit/stunned, but I was able to take off over half his health before he threw a punch.
