 * Record: 1-99 (1 KO)
 * Height: 5'10"
 * Weight: 110 lbs

 * Birthplace: Paris, France
 * Description: A scrawny little French guy in the bottom of the minor leagues of the WVBA.
 * Difficulty: *
 * KO Count: 4


 * Attacks
 * Jab: Glass Joe cowardly moves back then does a jab. A standard attack that can be dodged, blocked, or ducked.
 * Left Uppercut: Glass Joe crouches and launches an uppercut. More predictable than the Jab, but cannot be blocked or ducked.
 * Taunt: Glass Joe poses with his arm behind his back and goes Ha Ha.
 * Vive La France Taunt: Glass Joe goes to the back of the mat and says "Eh, eh? Vive la France!", and then does a uppercut.

He's the easiest fight in the game by far. His moves are easy to predict and counter or dodge. You can one hit KO him before he even gets a chance to fight but other then that not much else. How is simple. When he taunts punch him then punch him again when he's reeling. Then after punch him in the head and chest quickly until you get a star. Then once he does his Vive La France Taunt use your three star punch and bam the fight is over!
 * Notes and Strategy


 * Star Opportunities
 * When Glass Joe poses with his arm behind his back. Hit him when he flashes gold (any time the opponent flashes gold is a great chance to earn a star with the right punch).
 * Counter one of Glass Joe's punches.
 * After getting out hit stun or getting countered he reels. Hit him when he's coming back in for a star
 * During the first minute of the fight when he's just standing there punch him in the head and chest. If you do it fast enough you get a star and send him reeling to the side.


 * Knockdown and Knockout Opportunities
 * Punch him in the gut or Star punch him when he's coming back from his Vive La France Taunt.
 * Doing this with a Three-Star Punch will result in One-Hit KO.


 * Challenges
 * Knock down Glass Joe 3 times, then let him win by decision.
 * Yes, this is the one challenge you have to lose to achieve. The trick is that you can't do all three knockdowns in the same round or that results in a TKO win for you. Spread them out between the rounds, and remember not to knock him down for a fourth time or that results in guaranteed KO. To lose by decision, you need to make sure Glass Joe gets three knockdowns on you as well, then make sure you end the fight with less health than him. Then the decision will fall Joe's way.


 * Find the one-punch knockdown weak spot.
 * See "Knockdown Opportunities" above to learn about this.


 * Defeat Glass Joe without dodging, ducking, or blocking.
 * You can do this challenge by doing the One hit KO or if don't feel like doing that just counter his punches and star punch a lot. Just remember to not use any defensive moves

Title Defense

 * Record: 1-100 (1 KO)
 * Height: 5'10"
 * Weight: 110 lbs
 * Age: 38
 * Birthplace: Paris, France
 * Description: A scrawny little French guy in the bottom of the minor leagues of the WVBA.
 * Difficulty: ***


 * Attacks
 * Jab: He moves back and then does a jab.
 * Left Uppercut: Glass Joe crouches and launches an uppercut.
 * Delayed Left Uppercut: Glass Joe does his uppercut but delays a bit before punching you
 * Quick Attack: He moves left and right for a bit before doing a jab.
 * Taunts: Glass Joe taps his headgear with one of his hands saying something about the fact you can't hit him there.
 * Vive La France Taunt: Glass Joe goes to the back of the mat and says "Eh, eh? Vive la France!", and then does a uppercut.
 * Liberté Taunt: like his Vive La France Taunt he goes to the back of the mat but instead of saying "Eh, eh? Vive la France!" He goes "Eh? Eh? Liberté!" and fakes going back to the mat and then goes back and does a jab.

Glass Joe is back and now has headgear that blocks all damage to the head. This fight is much harder compared to his contender fight. He's faster his attacks are harder to counter and he delays some of his moves now making it when he attacks less clear. But at the end of the day he still is Glass Joe and still has his weakness to uppercuts. You see by star punching him his headgear pops off his head for a bit and you can punch him in the head for a bit. Also he can dodge your star punches so you can't just use them at random.
 * Notes and Strategy


 * Star Opportunities
