(The "points" are how many points you need to win by decision if there is no result by the end of round 3.)
* '''Decision''': 5,000 points


As you might expect, Glass Joe is the weakest opponent in the game. He's an older boxer who never had any success and doesn't know when to quit (he won only one of 100 fights). Only the most disoriented (or bored) player could lose to him. If you hit him with any uppercut it will put him down instantly.

Glass Joe's opening pattern is simple: he will guard his face or body, and if you hit where he is not guarding three times, he will switch his guard. He will attempt to throw jabs and the occasional hook if you let him, but keep pounding and he won't get half a chance. If he blocks a high shot, switch to low, and vice versa. Keep the pressure on and he'll crack under it.

Von Kaiser is almost as easy as Glass Joe.
Von Kaiser is not as easy to defeat as Glass Joe: instead of just pounding, you need to stand back a bit and watch what he does. When he wobbles his head, this is a "telegraph", a signal that he's about to do a certain move – in this case, a jab. Dodge the jab, then hit him with a few jabs of your own.  If you manage to punch him in the head when he wobbles it, you will earn a star. You may also punch him in the stomach when he lifts his gloves.


When he squats to uppercut, hit him with a punch to the stomach using the closer hand. You will get a star. Keep punching him this way until you have three, and then use them to knock him down.

Piston Honda is the last match of the Minor Circut. He was originally Piston Hurricane in the Arcade Game and he has a similar special punch. When he steps back, that's the signal that he will use the Piston punches. Hit him when he returns. If that fails block his punches. They come in a rhythm and can be blocked easily. Once they finish, he will come with an uppercut.

Glass Joe[edit]

  • Record: 1-99 1 KO
  • Age: 38
  • Weight: 110 lbs
  • From: Paris, France
  • Decision: 5,000 points

As you might expect, Glass Joe is the weakest opponent in the game. He's an older boxer who never had any success and doesn't know when to quit (he won only one of 100 fights). Only the most novice players may find it difficult to defeat him. As his name indicates, if you hit him with a star uppercut it will put him down instantly.

Glass Joe's opening pattern is simple: he will guard his face or body, and if you hit where he is not guarding three times, he will switch his guard. He will attempt to throw jabs and the occasional hook if you let him, but keep pounding and he won't get half a chance. If he blocks a high shot, switch to low, and vice versa. Keep the pressure on and he'll crack under it. If you punch him in the face while he is winding up for the right hook, you may earn a star.

His special move is the taunt, where he jumps back and taunts you. Then he will jump back to the center and will throw a hook. If you land a quick jab or body blow as he jumps back into the center, you will knock him down or you can TKO him if you time your body punch.

Piston Honda[edit]

  • Record: 26-1 18 KO
  • Age: 28
  • Weight: 174 lbs
  • From: Tokyo, Japan
  • Decision: Cannot win by decision

Piston Honda is the last match of the Minor Circuit. He replaces Piston Hurricane from the arcade game and he has a similar special punch. When he steps back, that's the signal that he will use the Piston punches. His main telegraph is that he twitches an eyebrow before throwing a jab. As before, dodge the jab and hit him a few times.

When he jumps back and does a little dance, he's about to come at you with his Honda Rush. This is a flurry of punches which is easily blocked. However, if you hit him with a jab or body blow right when he jumps back into the center (as you can do against Glass Joe's taunt), he will fall down and possibly KO.

Honda is also very easy to counter-punch - hit him anywhere when he wiggles his eyebrows and in the face when he pulls one hand back, and you can get stars.
