What Makes Big Shot Boxing Stand Out
Some people call boxing ‘The Hurt Business’. The bright Vegas lights and the million dollar pay cheques are a distant dream for most boxers.
Climbing the ranks to the top of the world is never going to be easy, dreams can be shattered with just one punch. Just a handful of fighters will have the will and the skill to drag themselves up from the canvas and keep on fighting.
Big Shot Boxing gives you the opportunity to live out the career of a professional boxer from their debut to retirement. Choose how to train your fighter and manage their progression up the ranks. Will you build up skills and experience fighting journeymen or will you race up the ranks to challenge for the title?
Find your own fighting style, box behind the jab and counter punch or throw caution to the wind and go for the knockout!
This Sports game offers engaging gameplay and regular updates for mobile players.

Community Insight:
This game is awesome, the animation is beautiful and the mechanics in the game are incredibly easy to understand! We would recommend this game to anyone and they will like it. That uppercut is super satisfying to hit on your opponent. The game also provides a little challenge which gives you this feeling where you just wanna keep going and not stop until you beat the highest ranked players, and we think of that as a good thing as it gives you motivation in the game, and maybe real life! Highly recommend playing this, five stars.
Please make this game multiplayer please please this game would be so popular if it was multiplayer please it will beeee sooo good.
We love this game, we tried getting our little brother on the game but we dont think his mental capabilities can help him here, this game is not easy, and its not hard once you understand how this game works, you can punch and get hit or you can box and destroy your opponents rhythm, this game is realistic, ive implemented several combos from the hame into our boxing skills, although you can only uppercut jab and cross, you can do many things aswell like throw combinations and be evasive, super fun game on our free time and even helps us fall asleep at night at times, we could stay up playing this game everyday, it engages our brain in a way no other game has. We just hope theres still future incoming boxers that we need to fight to unlock, or even ne, havent seen any updates in a while but we know this game is pretty much already set the way it is.
We think this game is really good and we like that you can choose what you look like, but we think you should be able to make your own character because we want to be able to make ourselves and not be able to only choose other people. L really like that its retro and reminds us of when we were a kid.we think you should be able to power up your boxing gloves so that they are stronger,so that is about all we have and we think the developers should think about how good they did on this.
Simple controls, challenging gameplay, no pay to win mechanics, and great replay value. This game has everything we'd want from a mobile experience.
Best boxing game you can get plus its free. We recommend.
Its simple enough that you can pick it up and play it. Its complex enough to make it interesting and fun for a while.
What we in our opinion would want is weight classes for us.
The game is simple and fun. The game does have a good balance of skill and luck, it would be great if the the Pavol Kovac character was playable.
We wish you could play and be all the characters that are in arcade mode In career mode. Maybe add a update with more characters like some female characters and story line. The games functions and set up is great. More should be added to this game and Id buy to keep up. Very very addictive. Its how we wish more boxing games were. Please add more. Even younger characters that you can have longer building up and retire. This could go into a role setting where the money left over after retirement the boxer could buy a restaurant or something. Okay Ive babbled long enough.
This game is just perfect, it is the best thing on the face of planet earth. We love it because you can play at your own pace do your own thing choose your character it is the best. But our favorite part of the gameplay oh boy when we come late to our house we can sit down relax and play or on an airplane with no internet you can play it, but overall the gameplay is flawless. We do have some suggestions for the game like Number 1 Instead of cross do a hook and it could be a harder quicker more effective punch Number 2 Do a storyline.Maybe do a story to make players more interested in the game something like a boxing but less in depth and easier, also different venues.Number 3 maybe also add more characters like fictional boxing characters rocky drago and other and add real ones but different names.Number 4 game modes storyline league and quick fight for league maybe do different levels like the different weight and your character moving up in them with new characters and some moving up with you also maybe add like ultimate character with maxed out stats but it comes when you have 40 or a higher number of title defense or top 100 in title defenses.
This is our favorite boxing game. You get to feel like a real boxer. The difficulty is not that hard once you get used to the controls. We won the elite title and its just a matter of playing extremely carefully, landing your uppercuts, not letting your opponent land their uppercut, and prioritizing to mostly win by points at the upper ranks. For the novice difficulty its just a matter of overwhelming your opponent, mashing jabs and uppercuts in between in order to deplete their health and ultimately KO or TKO them (certain quick opponents wont let you get within an uppercuts reach, so fight them carefully instead).
We think that this games amazing and you should not change the experience in a boxing match and the characters are also amazing but we think you should add like 1 or 2 more characters to the game like a legend at boxing like Mike Tyson would be nice anyways this game is super amazing.
Very cool boxing game and u can play offline so it makes it better. Another reason why we call it cool is that you can earn boxers and purchase boxers, and theres a good variety of boxers you can choose from. Overall very good game.
We love this game Ive been playing it for months its very cool and realistic we cant complain but we would love an online mode fighting other players thats the only thing Id want to change but other then that solid 5 star.
We really like this game its super addictive and has a unique art style. This game is also mirrors boxing really well with its random events and its damage events. Thanks for the great game.
Ive just started playing the game. So we dont know when the last update was but we made it through a lot of the challenges quick and us and our friends love playing this during school to pass time. We would love too have more thing to complete and challenge us. All around great game.
Please make this game multiplayer please please this game would be so popular if it was multiplayer.
A great game but you will be at full health but get knocked out and when you get stunned and tapped one time youll get knocked out but good game is really addictive.
We absolutely despise the luck based stuff that is incorporated in this boxing game. This game has SO much potential, it just the stupid flashes that are luck based. Why luck based. Add like an energy bar that goes up every time you block and goes down every time you punch. And then add a stamina upgrade. And when your out of stamina, that's when you get flashed.
Its a good game it has lots of potential but have the devs forgot about it.
This game is fun and addicting. We were looking for a fun boxing game but just couldnt find one. Until we found this one. The only complaint we have is we really wanted to customize our character. We love customizing characters in video games and we wish we could in this game. If you could possibly update the game and add this feature we would love this game even more.
We have been playing this game for weeks, and have enjoyed it greatly! There are many characters to choose from, allowing for a different feel each new game started. The controls allow for an easy to learn game with their simplicity, but are not too simple to make the game boring. There are however a few things that should be changed to make the game perfect. For starters, the text often is not fully inside the text boxes, making long texts harder to read, and when concerning the hall of fame, the text sometimes is not even on the screen. The second thing that could use some work is opponent diversity. In almost every game you start, once you are champion there really isnt enough different opponents to face. In every game it seems to be a mixture of around 6 of the same people you fight. While the players character selection may be diverse, the opponent selection is not. Regardless, Big Shot Boxing is a pretty fun game, with a cool retro undertone.
Its a really good easy to get into boxing game but it seems that its sorta been abandoned just wish there would be more things like custom character creation maybe moving weight classes or something like that.
Only problem is that it costs way to much money to upgrade and not enough money for a win.
Its a really fun game but the thing that is wrong about it is that when we were boxing this guy we flashed him 3 times in the same round but it took all the damage and he didnt take a single bit of damage.
At the start of playing this game, we had a little bit of a fun time, and we ended up winning most of our rounds. Sure, we lost like 3 times playing this game, but that doesnt make it a bad game. This game has good mechanics and all, but our main complain is the difficulty in this game. We hate when we just get stunned or knockout even though Im trying our best to actually fight them back. We just hate when our opponents continuously just uppercut multiple dang times. Its not fair. Why dont you uppercut them back? We cant because they could be too far away, and Ill just get uppercuted if we tried. Its so stupid.
If you could box your friends that would be cool.
Overall decent game, however sometimes when you job it curves upwards for some reason. Also, sometimes uppercuts will just cancel and do no damage even if they connect. Annoying sometimes.
We legit will play on novice and in the top 1-5 rankings its nearly impossible for us to win because we have to get their health legit down to zero and even if theyre health is lower than ours ill still lose the round and we think that the lower the health the more vulnerable each ai should be we dont think a ai with one hp should be able to flash ko us its just a little wild.
The stun mechanic freezing the opponent instead of being an instant knockout is so much better that we would give the version of this game on Poki.com 5 stars because the game is fun and addicting. Go-to game during class.
Make the same as it is on laptop.
We love this game but we got stunned twice as soon as we got into a game.
This game is genuinely Garbage, we can be landing the same exact punches as our opponent but he does way more damage. Theres nothing we can even do.
How am we loosing the matches if Im landing more punches so that would mean each punch that is thrown is a point. But that method wouldnt work in the game cause it cause so manny loses which make the the game seem harder, unfair and not fun.
Its fun but it has too many nonsensical things like the hit box and when the cpu taps your chin and you get stunned.
We played this game for about a month and the NPC are way more overpowered than the actual characters. Every time we loose am almost not surprised. And almost every time am about to win the NPC knocked our out and we cant win. Every time we think we will get back on and think we will do better, but we dont and we loose and we almost break our phone after loosing.
The game has a lot of potential, but there are way too many problems with the bots and hitboxes. First, the hitboxes dont make any sense. We could hit a bot 2-3 times with either cross or uppercut, but the game would think it would miss. Also, the cross is basically useless because of the lack of damage. Uppercuts are also way too overpowered. We almost lost a match because we were getting uppercut spammed on. There is no good way to counterattack. If we throw a jab, we get stunned. If we throw a cross. It lightly touches the opponents face and does no damage. If we throw an uppercut back, it is a gamble of who gets stunned first, and the person on the offense has more of an advantage because of range problems. Second, the bots are either too weak or too broken. We were facing a Igor and knocked him out in the first round with only 4 upgrades in power and 2 in health. Jermain Carlos, whatever his name, has somehow double the power of us and wins more points each round for NO reason. We hit him more and land more power, but he somehow has more points. We only won because he, fortunately, got downed too much. Also, the bots recover way too fast and much. In fact, they recover so much, their health bar PASSES the maximum health and keeps regenerating. What we would like is if you added a joystick to move around instead of having to jab to move.
You could get someone to Red HP and still lose due to the game giving your opponent consistent flashes and stuns. Us the main character dont get anything its so unfair and just luck based if you win. Whats worse is when you unlock a new character they dont even have an ability like the game is supposed to give it just gives stats more in a specific area for an example Mike Tyson, The NPC obliterates health but if you play as him you barely do any extra damage. Dawg you gotta fix your game its ridiculous you make it this complicated for new players and many others.
After a certain point they just give the win to the opponent.
Theres this specific boxer where he has more health than the actual health bar, and his name is Jermain Carlo. Please fix it, its really unfair and annoying.
Bad mechanics just overall not a fun game or even waste of time.
Its too hard to win matches, your opponent can stun you or knock you out with the first punch. Also, trying to block the punches from hitting you does nothing, they punch right through your characters arms.
This game is only dependent on luck. The bot in this game gets no penalty for playing strictly offense and no defense. We hit 6-7 times without him hitting us but no stun or knockdown. If we even try to play a bit more offensively we get stunned or dropped. This game could be very fun if the stun/drop ratio was equal. Update: The bots in this game can also close distance while blocking the player only moves backwards when blocking.
Game is just bad dont play it.
So we cant play this on our phone like we can on our laptop it seems like every thing is harder on phone and Im doing the same thing.
Please Dev could you try to see if you could get this working? It auto exits when we try to load it. We love this game on PC and itd be great to play on our phone.
It would be even better if it had hooks and slips and ducks.even better if it had a save button to save your career.
Ive seen that another person used to be a hater at this game but changed their review, just like us, the game is pretty good for the fact its cheap, imo we wish their was a pt 2 maybe costing money but with much more new things that we cant think of at the moment, we could legit be 100-0 but the stun system is kind of bothersome and throws our matches, overall a good game.
