But I made Kim Z unkillable somehow in one match but unlike everyone is saying, My game doesn’t crash with Rasta King. Also, there are also some copyright fighters from Rocky and Palooka Pete looks like him. Another thing is Rasta King overpowered punch is just Super Macho Man’s punch. ### 3/5 — The game needs work *2023-06-16* I love this game it’s pretty cool but the background needs to change like the crowd and the boxing ring and can you please stop trying to rip off movie characters and actual boxers please just make some other characters too also it would be cool if you can make your own character and have a career mode ### 4/5 — Iron Pete *2023-01-24, version 2.1* Is it just me or is it impossible to beat this iron Pete guy. I knock him down twice then he body beats me. ### 4/5 — Takes me back in the day …. *2022-10-07* Takes me back to the old Punch Out games that I played in the Arcades back in the ‘80s ### 5/5 — Good game *2021-07-14* Sure it’s a carbon copy of punch out but now you can basically play punch out on mobile! ### 4/5 — Not bad *2020-12-29* This isn’t a knockoff. It’s inspired by punch out also cool ### 5/5 — DaylenEddins *2019-10-13, version 2.1* Can you add a female version of pocket boxing ### 5/5 — Knockout *2019-08-04, version 2.1* Throwback fun ### 5/5 — Great game *2019-06-09* A really good game to kill time. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This game tried way too hard to be like punch out *2025-03-05* This is the worst game in the world it’s stole sprites from characters of punch out but they changed the design, however the difficulty is so bad I cannot even dodge and what’s even worse is that you have to start the whole circuit or feed money addiction ### 1/5 — Crash *2024-12-15* The game crashes right after you knock the Jamaican down the first time, when he gets back up he starts to swing on you and the game just crashes on goes back to my Home Screen👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽👎🏽 ### 1/5 — Was great back in the day. Now it’s different. *2022-07-13* Back in the day, it saved whatever fight you were on and then you jocular just pick up where you left off. Now if you exit the app halfway through a few fighters, you have to start over. Stinks… ### 1/5 — Don’t play this *2022-03-15* Listen I’m good at boxing but palooka Pete is just a little cheater he uses the same annoying combo that’s impossible to get past plz make him easier ### 1/5 — Terrible knock off of Punch Out (Super/Arcade) *2022-03-07* If you cleaned up the timing, the animations, and most importantly the controls, it could be a good game, but the way you uppercut, with timing a move instead of a button, is the one of the dumbest things I’ve seen. Just let people click on “KO”, which would be like normal punch out, what were all used to, and want, because it works and you’re guaranteed to uppercut when you want. C’mon guys! ### 1/5 — Bad *2020-11-28, version 2.1* Badbadbadbadbadbadbad ### 1/5 — Fake *2020-07-31, version 2.1* This game is ripping off punch out Nintendo ### 1/5 — REFUND PLEASE *2020-04-21* I recently paid for the premium version so I could have u limited rematches. When you get to Rasta King, the game literally shuts down and the app shuts off at a certain point. This needs to be fixed or I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Crashes on Rasta guy *2020-04-19, version 2.1* Crashes on Rasta guy ### 1/5 — Freezes *2019-12-27* When you get to Rasta the game freezes up. Junk. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Fake Punchout *2025-12-24* Cool game, definitely has the old Nintendo PunchOut feel. ### 5/5 — THE BEST *2025-05-16, version 2.1* BRONX NEWYORK ### 5/5 — Pocket Boxing *2025-01-05* Easy 8 Software ### 5/5 — A Blast! *2023-09-28* Great and fun to play!! Great way to pass some time! Love the controls! ### 5/5 — ストレートが出ない！ *2023-08-26* Bluetoothコントローラーは対応しているのですが、Bluetoothコントローラーでプレイすると、ストレートが出せない！改善よろしくお願いします！ゲームは面白いです！ ### 5/5 — 👍 *2023-06-25* Great game and graphics. Reminds me of arcade punch out 👏 ### 5/5 — 100% Achievements? *2023-02-26* Glitch fighting Rasta king. Body knock down achievement, game crashes after I knock him down and he throws his hay maker. Please fix ### 5/5 — Very good *2022-03-09* It is inspired by punch out, yet it is very great and the creator should add an update but that’s fine if not ### 5/5 — Cool *2022-01-05* I wanted mike Tyson punch out as a kid. Bald bull was tough. Kimbo slice is that thought street fighter. I feel good beating him. Nice game. ### 5/5 — Just like the regular game *2021-07-25* I’ve been watching punch out and playing punch out of my entire life --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
