Summary

Contender 2 feels like a polished follow‑up to the original 1999 boxing title, keeping the core mechanics while adding a few fresh twists. You can dive into any of four distinct modes, but the Main Event mode really rewards patience – you start as a skinny rookie and work your way toward the Champion of the World belt. The game lets you pick from a roster of pre‑made novices or craft a boxer from scratch, and the on‑screen model actually bulks up as you win fights, complete with bruises and wounds that appear after a hard hit. With more than a dozen hard‑hitting opponents to test your mettle, the ring never feels empty.
