What is Title Bout?

Avalon Hill's card-driven sports game of Professional Boxing. Play with over 500 current (as of 1979 and up to 1990) and all time great Boxers for each weight division. Create tournaments, arrange fantasy matchups and title bouts. Ali vs Marciano? That can happen in this game. The game can simulate a bout of 10,12, or 15 rounds. There are TKO's, injuries, and KO's. Different card strategies can be employed to influence each bout as well. Each fighter card gives a brief history on the back of the card to give you an idea of why they are notable fighters in the world of professional boxing. The game supports solitaire play.
