Introduction

Every now and then, franchises need to be rebuilt from the ground up. Bill Bellicheck took the New England Patriots and successfully built them into a two-time Super Bowl winning team, while the Florida Marlins rebuilt their team in a couple of years to win their second World Series title. Sometimes, video games need some repackaging too. Electronic Arts is the king of this, having repackaged some of their most successful brands to make them into bigger profit-making machines. Triple Play was turned into MVP Baseball, and now, EA Sports has transformed the wildly popular Knockout Kings series into Fight Night 2004.

Featuring an innovative gameplay system called Total Punch Control, Fight Night gives you unparalleled flexibility and accuracy in the ring. With the ability to create your own boxer, and access to over 20 of the greatest pugilists to step into the ring, Fight Night 2004 is the only boxing game that you'll need… until Fight Night 2005 comes out.
