how the hell are the boxing challenges even fair?

[Csumbi]

counters dont work because i take damage doing them, and the opponents needs to hit me only twice for me to be defeated, while i have to hit them 100 times. So ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ messed up.

[Csumbi]

the other worst thing is that blocking does absolutely nothing, god this is annoying af. I dont even want to imagine what comes after Rhino.
And the damage is freakin inconsistent, sometimes i hit for 1000 but other times just 200, fml.

Razor...who you have to fight in a tiny small ring and is straight broken, if you thought Rhino was unfair prepare for your worst nightmare.

You cant possibly defeat them without gorilla hands

You can if you have 20 int ;)

I just dodged their attacks and spammed strong attacks, worked for every enemy. I was Lvl 42, had 10points in body and barely any in street brawler.

Well i have Armor, HP and Body pretty high, my char allready reached 50 and the Challenge against the Female Hulk is just broken. I can understand that it will take a while to down her, but killing me with 1 or 2 hits is just insane and i dont even play on hard or extreme just normal.

I fought Rhino (Female Hulk, LOL :D :D :D ) on normal too, and I think what happens with her is that if you dodge or get punted into the razor wire columns in the arena, you get KO'd. That's precisely what happened in my first fight with her, on the second try I paid close attention to the razor wire and didn't have such issues.

Anyway, in my playthrough I was able to have all opponents (including Razor Hugh) knocked down on the ground for like half of the fight duration. I'm not sure what caused this, but I had maxed Body, all the relevant perks in Street Brawler and Athletics, and I think some perks in Annihilation work with fists too - like Speed Demon (the faster you're moving, the more damage you do) and Skeet Shooter (more damage to moving opponents). What I did was sprint right at them with a strong attack charged up, aiming for their heads, simply because against normal opponents this sends them FLYING back.

He's one of the easier ones because by the time you get to him you should be level 50 with a high critical damage and high critical chance. I was knocking 10 health off him per punch sometimes. His greatest flaw is that he has an abdomen problem, so you always punch him there.

With Ozob, you hit him in the nose. With Cesar, you wait for his running leap.

I used strong punches for every single Brat fight. Not once did I use a light attack. The other trick is to not stay too close for too long, especially against Cesar. Always throw a few punches and then back of, regain stamina, then wait for them to charge. Dodge at the last second, throw a few punches, then back off again.

Boxing fights are the toughest fights in the game, by far, until you learn their patterns. Then you can exploit their flaws and cheese every fight.

I beat them all while investing only two points into body, high criticals, gorilla arms, reading their patterns, and by throwing strong punches 100% of the time.

If it's not hard, why the couch bet against you. lol.

[Beyond.Celsus]

Beat the female hulk easy.

Last guy though. One shotted every time within a second of the round starting. This at lvl 50
After reloading for the 20th time I decided, feck it. Ridiculously bad and unbalanced quest line with little reward.

Coach: Give me the money for taking a dive I can earn anyway by just selling one blue weapon so this pointless quest can feck off out of my journal.

strong punch, punch punch punch, back up and let them do their same canned 3 move animation, wait for the recovery animation, strong punch, punch punch punch, repeat.

Took forever, but took zero damage in each fight. Didnt use dodge once. you can just keep backing up in a circle and they will never hit you.

And agreed either way, easy or not, this quest line sucked.

[SimranZenov]

Gorilla arms and consistent strong punches, then combo when they stumble or fall. Easy :)

If you don't care about doing it legit and just want to clear the quest, you can drop a melee weapon in the arena and when the fight starts, press "R" to equip weapon directly off the ground. Then you can smash the ever loving ♥♥♥♥ out of Rhino and the rest of the fighters.

As a Monster Hunter Hammer Main, I recommend using a hammer to take out those fighters. Very few things are as satisfying as bonking a trash-talker on the head with a massive hammer. As they say, hammer do indeed go bonk.

this didn't work for me, i guess they patched it in 1.06. you just don't auto-equip the weapons you pick up, and any weapon change is impossible.
i found another way to cheese it though. drive a bike into the ring and park it next to him, then quickly jump on it when the fight starts. he won't attack you while you are on the bike, and and you can just keep punching him with impunity. be careful not too do any series or combos, since he might decide to dodge and reposition. i beat him on vh with a netrunner build, but i did have legendary short circuit, meaning my crit punches did electrical damage (otherwise it would have taken way too long).

i tried another option - grab some thug outside, bring him in, then cast cyberphychosis on him and let him shoot Razor, but that didn't work since bodies disappear if you carry them inside that building.
btw, the animals' champion can be beaten by just aggroing the building and then killing/incapacitating them the usual way. i think she herself is "immortal" and doesn't go below 1%, but system reset worked on her.

I wasted some time trying to fight them like the game intended.
After a while i found that following gets the job done better:
- Get distance
- Wait for them to start an attack
- Avoid getting hit by just running away to one side or the other
- Watch them trying to follow you while they waste their combo
- At the end of their combo run in and hit them a couple of times
- Get distance again and repeat
Takes a few minutes but works without failure.

so basically its just broken, my armor is pretty high, around 1200, but it doesnt seem to matter what so ever, Body maxed out

1200 isn't high at all. I seen some players sporting 3k easy

1200 is more than enough for nearly everything in this game except this stupid boxing challenge.
