🥊Heavyweight Fighters Guide

In this list I will tell you how to use some of the most popular fighters efficiently to get wins.

🥊Learn The Basics 🥊

First of all, you should learn the basics of every character by using the tutorial and playing VS AI. You need to get comfortable with the following controls, refer to the list below;

Very Important:
- Basic Movement
- Basic Punches
- Body Punches
- Counter Punches
- Power Punches
- Dodging and Weaving

NOW Important;
- Combinations, due to the new update rewarding combinations with a higher chance of dazes and KO's combinations are now important. However, still target either body or head for these combos.

Not Important:
- Switching Stances (Not useful in Multiplayer)
- Clinching (Not present in Multiplayer)
- Focusing Cuts (Unreliable and nearly impossible to win with)

The Ranking System;
Fighters are ranked 0-100 by these attributes;
- Vitality
- Stamina
- Speed
- Strength
- Defence
- Heart

Picking your fighter should be based on which traits you value the most, for example if you want vitality and speed you should pick Tyson Fury. If you want strength the most you should pick Deontay Wilder. If you want speed and defence you should pick Usyk. All fighters traits are combined to give them their OVR (Overall) score. The higher every trait is the higher the OVR is.

✅ What To Do & Not 🚫

A brief breakdown of things to do and not to do in the heavyweight division. This is a general list, it does not apply to ALL situations but it does apply to most.

🚫 Don'ts;
- Don't combo spam. Do not throw 5 different punches and expect KO's. It's not effective.
- Don't focus cuts. I've only got 1 cut victory in over 300 matches. It is nearly impossible.
- Don't spam more than 5 shots at a time. Arm fatigue leaves you open to a lot of shots.
- Don't over-spam hooks and head uppercuts. Your stamina will drain fast.
- Don't go into the corner. You will get pieced up, you cannot dodge and weave in the corner.
- Don't play like lightweight. You are bigger and slower, pick your shots and focus a single area.
- Don't overuse power shots. Regular shots are faster and do more damage.
- Don't stand still for a long time. Staying still for more than 10 seconds let's your opponent drain your block.

✅ Do's
- With Usyk and Roy Jones target the body with uppercuts. Left, Right, Left, Right.
- Keep moving. Don't let the enemy slow you down and do damage.
- Use your jab and backhand to keep distance and gain points. Jab doesn't use a lot of stamina.
- When dazed move backwards if you can. Don't go left or right, you will get hooked.
- Conserve your stamina, don't waste punches.
- Go to the body if you have to. Don't just focus head if they're defending good.
- Keep your guard up at ALL times except from when punching.
- Don't punch with your guard up, it slows your punches and it does less damage.
- Learn to drop guard and punch and throw it back up. Defence and offence must both be used.
- Make them miss. More misses means less points for your enemy.

🔴 Muhammad Ali 🔴

Muhammad Ali, OVR 93, is one of the best boxers in the game, combining strength and speed he has many keys to victory within the game.

Sting Like a Bee
Muhammad Ali is the most picked fighter in Undisputed, he has very little weaknesses and a lot of strength. His speed and power means he can spam hooks and body shots in quick succession for easy dazes, knock downs and KO's. You will want to use his right hook very frequently for the best chance of knockdowns. His speed also makes it so he can throw up to 4 hooks in under 5 seconds.

Strengths
- Power, Muhammad Ali has the best power in the game, his hooks are deadly. (90 Strength)
- Speed, Ali's speed is unmatched, he can land 4 hooks in quick succession and move out of the way of counters or body shots very fast. (96 Speed)
- Recovery, Muhammad Ali can get up easier than most fighters while also gaining +4 stamina recovery every round. (95 Vitality, 92 Heart)
- Combos, Ali can throw body and head combos very fast.
- Durability, Ali can withstand a LOT of punishment.

Weaknesses
- Taller fighters, Ali relies on speed and power to take the victory, however he will struggle to get close to a Tyson Fury or Wilder if kept at bay with jabs and counters.
- Power Punches, Ali does not need power punches and most of the time they will negate his speed.

🟢 Tyson Fury 🟢

Tyson Fury, OVR 91, is the tallest playable character in the game and has the longest arm length. He is very versatile, tough and the second best heavyweight.

12 Round Fighter
Tyson Fury is very fast and should be played fast too. Use your speed to move around the ring away from your opponent as your tall length makes you weak to body shots. The best combo is jabbing once then backhand, then moving away. Keep in mind Tyson Fury is a 12-round fighter, he has a damage debuff for the first 8 rounds. In these 8 rounds you should focus on keeping distance while using jabs and backhands to win points. Getting cornered or having a still-fight will most certainly make you vulnerable as most players will target the huge body of Fury.

Strengths
- Speed, movement and punching. (92 Speed)
- Durability, able to take a lot of damage and recover. (90 Vitality, 94 Heart)
- 12 Round fighter, receives a buff to stamina recovery and damage after the 8th round.
- Long reach, easy jabs and backhands for those who don't wish for scrappy fights.
- Counters, easy to weave back and jab for counters.

Weaknesses
- Big body, very vulnerable to body shots in close range.
- Strength, Tyson Fury is not the strongest fighter and is not meant to be. He has an active damage debuff until the 8th round. (Rounds 1-8, 86 Strength, Rounds 8-12, 91 Strength)
- Short fights, Tyson Fury has multiple debuffs for the first 8 rounds.

⚪ Deontay Wilder ⚪

Deontay Wilder, OVR 88. Known for his strength, often called the hardest hitter of any era, this fighter is focused on knockouts, not points.

The Bronze Bomber
A KO-Heavy play style with the hardest punch in the game. Wilder is best played with hooks and uppercuts with counters aiding his damage. Feel free to let the odd power punch go in the form of a big right hand, however be careful as Wilder is not the fastest, nor the most durable character in the game.

Strengths;
- Hardest hitter, Wilder is the hardest hitter in the game, his hooks, uppercuts and power punches can be devastating for your opponent. (92 Strength)
- Defence, Deontay Wilder's stance protects both his body and head, effective against combos. This however leaves one side of his head wide open to shots.

Weaknesses;
- Speed, although Deontay's punches are extremely good, his speed is not. He is often sluggish and requires timing to make sure he does not get countered. (85 Speed)
- Recovery, Deontay's recovery is average and his get-up minigame can be difficult even on the second knockdown. (88 Heart)
- Countered, Deontay fighters are usually easily countered by faster opponents. Ali's main shot, which is the right hook, hits Deontay on his undefended head. In a short period of time, if you're not careful, the Bronze Bomber can go down.

🟡 Oleksandr Usyk 🟡

The Ukrainian Cat Usyk, OVR 89. Speed and distance are the friend of Usyk. The fastest heavyweight in the game with no slow down while guarding unlike other fighters. Few will manage to catch you if played right.

The Cat
Like the name implies, Usyk is fast, slick and thrives with moving punches. His main tool is speed. Usyk is best played with left and right uppercuts to the body as he can spam out 10-15 in a matter of seconds. Usyk can get dazes very easily using this method. If you use Usyk always go for quick spammy body uppercuts, left, right, left, right, left right while keeping your distance from big punches.

Strengths;
- Speed, one of the fastest movement speeds and definitely the fastest uppercut combo speeds. Use this fighter to wear down your opponent. (93 Speed)
- Distance Fighter, Usyk's playstyle lets him thrive in later rounds, once you've worn down your opponents you'll be able to throw better, bigger shots while they're weakened.

Weaknesses;
- Durability, Usyk is not the most durable fighter and a few head hooks can send him into the dazed state.
- Easily outplayed, If your opponent knows how to protect their body while countering, Usyk's main tool will become useless, leaving him exposed to a style he's not meant for.
- Tall fighters, Tyson Fury can keep Usyk away easily, negating his body shot meta.

🟠 Joe Frazier 🟠

Smokin' Joe Frazier, OVR 90. Well known for his victory against Muhammad Ali, this man knows how to use his strength.

Smokin'
Joe Frazier is incredibly powerful and features one of the most unique defences in the game. He covers his head or body with both his forearms. Although this is great for defending that area, it also leaves Frazier players open to big shots in the area they aren't defending.

Strengths;
- Strength, Joe Frazier has a buff to his strength, his power punches can be deadly and have a higher chance of rocking or knocking out his opponent. (89 Strength & 15%+ Left Hook Damage)
- Defence, his unique defence, if used right, could save you multiple times during a fight.
- Pressure fighter / taller fighters, due to his small stature, great defence and great strength, Frazier is good at putting pressure on taller fighters with body shots.

Weaknesses;
- Defence, although one of his strengths, if not used correctly it is a major weakness as people will target the area you are not defending. I usually target Frazier's body with uppercuts. (87 Defence)
- Slow, Frazier can seem very slow and sluggish and is not good with fighters who can out run him. (88 Speed)

🟤 Joe Louis 🟤

Joe Louis , OVR 89, is considered the best boxer to ever live by many boxing experts. Intelligence & strength made Joe Louis a unique and scary opponent to his foes. Though this isn't much different within the game, his OVR is definitely underscored compared to his real life skill.

The Brown Bomber
Within the game Joe Louis is given power punch buffs, meaning damaging opponents is fairly easy and getting KO's can be very easy too. This is why he is called the Brown Bomber. His uppercut speed is also very good meaning body shots are very viable using him.

Strengths;
Power Puncher - Joe Louis receives a 20% increase in power punch damage, on top of that throwing a right hook has an increased chance of knocking opponents down by 15%.
Stamina - Joe Louis has great stamina and will not tire easily. (91 Stamina)

Weaknesses;
Speed - Although his speed is okay, he is not fast enough to contend with Ali and Fury, meaning you will be relying on counters and TIMED power punches to win.
Defence - Joe Louis' defence rating sits at 86, this is very bad for his OVR and means his block will go quickly against big punchers. (86 Defence)

💥 Under 87 Fighters 💥

This list would include Frank Bruno, Eddie Hall, Joe Joyce, David Adeleye and Roy Jones Jr.

The Honest Truth
These fighters are not good for competitive / online play. I would heavily discourage people from playing characters rated under 87 as they will find it difficult, even IMPOSSIBLE, to beat higher rated fighters. Once you learn the other mentioned fighters attempt to use that knowledge for weaker fighters. Otherwise, avoid them. They will be useless to a beginner player.
