Most definitely... Also, you guys should do a video about the game Darkwatch. That was one of the most underrated shooters of the OG xbox era. Only got one game then High Moon Studios started spitting out licensed games and the sequel that was being worked on never saw the light of day
Definitely a good step for X-Play I love this show I wish g4 would bring back g4 icons show or something on the history of gaming something showing the origins of the gaming culture
Love the chemistry between these 3. Joe, TBH, and Jake make every video they’re in better. I’d love to see an NBA Street franchise breakdown video with these 3
The war at G4... genius. Btw, Monzon was a prolific middleweight world champion from Argentina in the 60s/70s. He actually won a Sugar Ray Robinson memorial award in the 70s. He was a legendary fighter (consider you see him in a 2011 videogame decades after his death). He was also a very colorful character here in Argentina as he was a true rags-to-riches story, a kid from the slums that ended up conquering the boxing world, became a media personality, married several superstar babes back in the day, starred in movies, went to the slammer for klling an ex-wife and ended up dying from a car crash in the most metal way possible. Truly a fascinating life. As an aside though, he was a really nimble middleweight, he had a ton of hitting power yes, but he look way too hulked out here.
Fight Night 3 & 4 we’re peak boxing sim in MP, with the edge going to 4 IMO. Champion was fun and had a good story, but was stripped back in terms of complexity and control.
This is a good video. One thing i will say ESBC exposed EA by getting so many boxers on an upstart budget vs EA who has all the money to pay these fighters. I'm glad yall covered this.
Jake's color commentary is so amusing, as if TBH and Joe have their mutual trashtalk down to an art form. Just downloaded Fight Night Champion to play through again. Great game.
I always heard it was because of licensing issues that come with boxing you got so many different boxing promotions for different fighters i can imagine it being a legal nightmare idk tho 🤷♂ Edit: ya they covered that in the video nvm
I would love to see any kind of return of the Fight Night series, even a modern rerelease of Champion could be a good way to introduce the series to a new generation of players
Man my time with Fight Night Round 3 career is one of the best gaming moments I have. Going slow through the ranks and becoming champion. This is one of my favorite game series and was sad when they never continued.
Fight Night was one my favorite most played games growing up from teen to early adulthood. Especially Round 2, because those haymakers were brutal. Hell, I mastered it so well that I could throw haymakers like combos. 😄 I really hope ESBC can carry the torch from Fight Night Champion.
Yooooo! The fact that TBH mentioned My Friend, Martin! That movie was iconic! I feel the same way about this series as well. UFC doesn't fill the void of Fight Night. Even when they added FN's bob and weave mechanic to UFC, it still didn't make me steer away from it. The traditional style of boxing, no kicking, no grappling, no ground & pound, just standing your ground and throwing hands is unmatched.
Fight Night Champion, even with its simplified blocking and counter mechanics, is one of the most satisfying gaming experiences evwr with that story mode and the velocity of your handspeed once you got your rhythm going.
Yes plzzzzz I've been asking what happened to fight night. Not only because there are no good boxing games nowadays . But because they were really good
That Elgato low arm boom looks sweet, lol. Anyway, Fight Night Round 3 was my first EA boxing game I've played. It was awesome. Sadly, I never played Fight Night Champion (nor online mode).
Carlos Monzon(pronounced Mon-Zone) was undefeated world middleweight champ from 1970 to 1977, when he retired as champion. As someone who watched him fight on TV, he was a bigger version of Roberto Duran, who hit just as hard. He also unfortunately hit his girlfriends and wives and was convicted of murdering his girlfriend in 1988. While on a weekend furlough in 1995, he was killed in a car crash.
I'm looking forward to Esports Boxing Club. I enjoyed Fight Night for years, but I'm looking forward to a more realistic boxing game. EA doesn't deserve support from the community because they abandoned the boxing community
Hey xPlay, this is your winning format. I love the chemistry with these three, it’s got an ESPN vibe. It’s mature (unlike a lot of YT gaming commentary, but not boring and peachy
If they made a boxing game like fight night but didn't get any licenses (so every boxer was either a fictional character or a legally distinct paordy), would you be on board?
They need to get rid of the stick movement too. Not a fan of being forced to punch ONLY with the sticks. It ruined the game. Give me back the punch buttons.
boxing doesn't have an Interesting roster anymore its just tiktok influencers fighting for clout a modern fight night game would be a joke just like modern boxing
It might be hard for me to go back to these fighting games after playing Thrill of the Fight in VR. Highly recommended to any boxing video game fans if you have the opportunity to try it
I never got into fight night champion. Fight night round 3 was perfect to me. It needs to stay in that view, those controls. Perfection that was killed by changes nobody asked for.
@@THINK_FOR_A_CHANGE because it was actually skill based not just a single flick for every punch. Round 4 was for casuals and champions was arcade round 4. Much like playing someone who doesn't even know the stamina game and still picks a legend. Saying Leonard isn't an OP pick is sus.
Used to love fight night. One of my favorite series when I was younger to play with friends. Ufc has taken over on the current consoles to get that itch scratched. Cursious if you guys have played any ufc's and any thoughts on them
I know nothing about boxing games since the last one I played was way back on the genesis, but if licensing real boxers really is an obstacle, maybe a licensed Hajime no Ippo game? It’s got the story mode built in as maybe the greatest sports manga ever and DBfighterz has shown how good anime games can look. (Also, didn’t they make a Creed game?) Regardless, hope the new game turns out good. I’ll definitely pick it up if I can.
FN Round 3 was a staple in my freshmen dorm common room. We ran button-only and thumbstick-only tournaments. Such a great game to play with a friend for 15 minutes or tournament-style with multiple friends for 4 hours. Like y'all said: easy to pick up and difficult to master and that made it so appealing and fun to play.
Whoever will be developing the new Fight Night game will not have the same passion as the original staff. Moreover, this game will never release on Steam PC. As such, I am no longer interested in this franchise. ESBC will have my full support. F FN and EA.
NBA live is a fun without 2k’s need to grind for everything and when you get there it’s stupidly broken. Don’t get me wrong Live has its broken parts but come down to it, it’s way more enjoyable than 2K
Bruh just played FNC this morning, it was very good... Until that last fight. Had no idea the matches were so scripted till a few before that one but it definitely frustrated me beyond belief till I beat it with patience and perseverance.
God I hope they make another fight night!!! This new boxing game esports boxing club supposedly coming out looks good but for some reason seems like it might never release 😂
Would you like a sequel to Fight Night Champion or a reboot of the Fight Night franchise?
Not made by EA.
Most definitely... Also, you guys should do a video about the game Darkwatch. That was one of the most underrated shooters of the OG xbox era. Only got one game then High Moon Studios started spitting out licensed games and the sequel that was being worked on never saw the light of day
As long as EA isn't making it lol.
As long it's not EA-related, yes.
yes
Didn't know they were on Game Pass. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Please make a video on the fight night series!
man tbh bringing out the best franchises we all need right now
These 3 have the BEST chemistry. Even if I don't particularly care about the game I will watch a video with these 3.
preach!
Was in tears towards the end; this was amazing.
Yasss! Great Combo
Definitely a good step for X-Play I love this show I wish g4 would bring back g4 icons show or something on the history of gaming something showing the origins of the gaming culture
Jake is an awesome commentator hahaha. Great video yet again. Loved Joe and TBH. Love it all!
Yeah. He sounds legit. So good in fact there were times I was confused whether it was in-game commentary or him.
Do one of these on Burnout please.
Love the chemistry between these 3. Joe, TBH, and Jake make every video they’re in better. I’d love to see an NBA Street franchise breakdown video with these 3

Bro this series is in my top five with mass effect, ratchet and clank, Mario, and elder scrolls. We need it back
Love Mass effect!!!!
Hope they bring Fight night back
I worked on Fight Night Round 2 and Round 3, and it's criminal that EA shelved this franchise after Champion. We had something special going.
Y'all really did!
Thank you for working on my favorite series of all time.
@@Supadupa335 Thank you for playing it!
I always heard it was because of licensing issues that come with boxing
you got so many different boxing promotions for different fighters
i can imagine it being a legal nightmare
idk tho 🤷♂
Edit: ya they covered that in the video nvm
I would love to see any kind of return of the Fight Night series, even a modern rerelease of Champion could be a good way to introduce the series to a new generation of players
Wow im watching this at work. Im downloading Fight Night when I get home. You guys brought back a lot of memories.
I need more of this content please. You guys are great
I've never played fight night but you two do a good job explaining its appeal.
very enjoyable video. very nice job.
Man my time with Fight Night Round 3 career is one of the best gaming moments I have. Going slow through the ranks and becoming champion. This is one of my favorite game series and was sad when they never continued.
I would LOVE another fight night….or serious boxing game in general!
Hell, I would take another Punch Out!!
Fight Night Round 3 is still the best boxing game ever made.
I don't know, champion is tough
TBH love the videos! Y’all brothers hold it down up there fam y’all are definitely going up
Fight Night was one my favorite most played games growing up from teen to early adulthood. Especially Round 2, because those haymakers were brutal. Hell, I mastered it so well that I could throw haymakers like combos. 😄 I really hope ESBC can carry the torch from Fight Night Champion.
Jake really stunting on other commentators.
Yooooo! The fact that TBH mentioned My Friend, Martin! That movie was iconic!

The traditional style of boxing, no kicking, no grappling, no ground & pound, just standing your ground and throwing hands is unmatched.
With these two talking about a franchise they want to come back I really feel like there was a classroom background and crying professor missing
Fight Night Champion, even with its simplified blocking and counter mechanics, is one of the most satisfying gaming experiences evwr with that story mode and the velocity of your handspeed once you got your rhythm going.
Replaying this on my Steam Deck. Man such a great franchise! Thank god for retro game preserving. Great content!
I loved Round 3. Champion felt like fighting with Stretch Armstrongs.
9:58 Why can't Joe call him a ninja?
This has me dying 😂
YALL DOING GODS WORK!! Please i want another fight night. Ufc is fun but not like FN. There's that ESBC game but it's been in the making for years
Love these type of videos, you guys should do one with wrestling games
Yes plzzzzz I've been asking what happened to fight night. Not only because there are no good boxing games nowadays . But because they were really good
Tbh confirmed main character in new Rockstar game, bully 2.
Aw yes the TBH V Joe rival arc continues 😂 Joes redemption arcs coming
Couldn’t agree more. This was a great series and I had some great times playing with friends back in the day.
I just click this video and I’ve agreed with whatever this is about my whole life. Fight Night a forgotten classic
Fight Night Round 3 was my favorite. That up close camera was the best. I'd take a remake of that.
I have been replaying this on my Xbox Series S and cannot get enough. EA bring back Fight Night
Fight Night Round 3 is what really set it off for me.
Fight Night Round 3 was dope! 🔥 🔥 🔥

Just finished the 12 minute mark. Cant wait to see the result of the showdown. I’m rootin for TBH to stay champ 😤

A word that starts with N and ends with A? ...Nutella? Because NegroDamus doesn't make sense.
We need a new boxing game on this gen of systems, but I don't want EA to ruin my fond memories of FN. I'd rather wait and get a great game from ESBC
Use unreal engine 5 be 🔥
Loving these genre of videos.
Fallen Franchisees 💯
NBA Ballers next
Fight Night Champions was all we played on my first deployment. So much love for the series 💚
Great episode.
There was a "Our Friend Martin" reference? I started to think I dreamt of that as a kid
Y’all need Matt mcmucles for this though
Fight Night is hard and I personally suck at it. But man was it fun.
It's too expensive to license the fighters and boxing organizations
Aw man you guys are amazing! Smiles and laughs all around! I love XPlay
It might be hard for me to go back to these fighting games after playing Thrill of the Fight in VR. Highly recommended to any boxing video game fans if you have the opportunity to try it
I agree! It actually got me into shape and now I go to an actual boxing gym every week
Next fight night is the Jake Paul & UA-cam edition.
Loved your Madden joint, guys! This is the way…
I never got into fight night champion. Fight night round 3 was perfect to me. It needs to stay in that view, those controls. Perfection that was killed by changes nobody asked for.
Round 3 was my favorite too. That game was mind blowing when it came out.
@@MylesDaye we started playing it day one from the demo release. I had the Roy Jones Jr. exploit on lock. Everybody was a first round KO
I always wanted to changed subjects when I got knocked out too lol
Bring back fight night 2004
Anyone who says Fight Night Champions over Round 3 shouldn't talk sports games
Round 3 was the best one.hands down
I loved Round 3
@@THINK_FOR_A_CHANGE because it was actually skill based not just a single flick for every punch. Round 4 was for casuals and champions was arcade round 4. Much like playing someone who doesn't even know the stamina game and still picks a legend. Saying Leonard isn't an OP pick is sus.
Knockout kings was so much better than fight night
Shoulda picked Hagler instead of Munzon
These guys are so hilarious together keep up the great work guys
I had every single game. I was loyal to the franchise.
Fight night round 3 was amazing, great memories
that commentator is legit
I also miss ready 2 rumble boxing
Love these 3 guys together
Enjoyed it fellas🖐👊
I miss this series along with NBA street.
No matter how much gamers want Fight Night back EA won’t bring it back,Fight Night and KOTOR series seems cursed
Fight night got canned by ufc/ea
@00:05
When Hokage woke up today he chose violence.
Bruh, that's everyday lol
Joe be like "nigga.... Square up" 😂
Stick and move!
Listen. You're not wrong lol
The last Night Fight was a classic. At least it went out on a high note.
It’s crazy how fight night champions still looks good today
Used to love fight night. One of my favorite series when I was younger to play with friends. Ufc has taken over on the current consoles to get that itch scratched. Cursious if you guys have played any ufc's and any thoughts on them
Nah War @ G4 got it.

You seriously should be a professional commenter too! Really good! Sounds professional!
No
