You can dodge and move around the ring with your body, and it doesn’t require button input for your punches. Instead you just walk away and box like a real boxer. However, the opposition will notice and block you if you continue with the same old strike. Head over to their extensive training section to learn how to VR box like a pro in Knockout League.
