Rounds and resources
Fights last up to three one-minute rounds with 15-second breaks. Punches spend stamina, while movement slows stamina recovery to 60% of its neutral rate. Accurate guarding protects health but also costs stamina.

How a fight is decided
Knockouts and stoppages
A boxer who cannot stand before the ten-count loses by knockout. Zero health, three knockdowns in one round, or four across the fight can produce a technical knockout.
Judge decisions
Three judges use a 10-point-must system built from clean damage, effective aggression, successful defence, and knockdowns. Cards can end in a unanimous, majority, or split decision—or a draw.
Build, Ranked, and the belt
Five boxer attributes
- Strength raises damage and knockdown pressure.
- Stamina expands energy capacity and improves recovery.
- Chin improves hit recovery and resistance.
- Defence reduces blocked chip damage and the stamina cost of a correct block.
- Speed improves movement and punch execution.
Automatic match classification
Eligible fights between two verified account players are Ranked. Guest, CPU-fallback, and other ineligible matchups remain Casual.
Ranked ratings use Glicko-2, start at 1500, and stay hidden for five placement fights. Placed fighters enter the permanent Top 100 and can make a run at the championship belt; there is no scheduled seasonal reset.
Browser Boxing FAQ
Do I need an account to play?
No. You can enter as a guest. An account keeps Career progress, supports a public boxer profile, and is required with email verification for Ranked eligibility.
Can I play on a touch screen?
Yes. The fight deck includes on-screen pointer and touch controls for the same actions available from the keyboard.
Is every opponent another person?
No. Matchmaking searches for a compatible player first and can use a native CPU opponent to prevent a long wait.
Can I watch without fighting?
Yes. The public fight card links to active bouts, while eligible completed fights receive permanent result pages with recaps, statistics, and canonical event evidence.
