I've been finding it impossible to beat Ali. I know I'm not very good at these games which is why I've struggled to get wins against the CPU, but it's so difficult to beat him. The best I've done is get a draw when I've knocked him down in one of the rounds, but even then you can't finish him off. I've pretty much given up trying after the last time. I floored him with a body shot about 90 seconds into the first, but I couldn't get close the rest of the fights. I usually have some success if I drive him back into the ropes and mix up combinations to the body and head, and I can land some good counters after slipping some of his punches, but he usually flurries and gets the better of the exchanges.

Love the game though, seems much more realistic and I really like the different punch variations you can throw. The champion mode looks excellent too.
