Fighters that throw endless heavy punches in Undisputed can be a challenge, especially if they're big power fighters like Deontay Wilder or Eddie Hall. Their power statistics are so high that they could knock down and potentially knock out your boxer with just the first punch. Wilder poses a significant challenge due to his height and long reach.

However, it's not only the powerful fighters who are problematic with their heavy hits; it's also the outside fighters like Muhammad Ali, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Roy Jones Jr. They possess speed and considerable stamina, enabling them to deliver multiple power punches without tiring. Numerous online players attempt to gain an edge by excessively using power attacks for an effortless victory.

How To Beat Power Punchers In Undisputed

There are various strategies to defeat opponents in online and offline boxing matches, where excessive use of power punches in Undisputed can be problematic. Utilizing every tactic and strategy available to secure a win is important.

Keep Your Distance And Make Them Chase You

The power punch can sometimes punch through your fighter's guard and overrule your combinations. So, instead of engaging and trading too many shots with them, make them chase you, landing left and right combinations away from the direction of their punches.

Be mindful of your head's health. Even with your guard up, a fighter's power modifier can penetrate your defenses. Utilize the ring to move out of the way of their punches, causing them to miss and allowing you time to recover.

Anticipate their next move, flick the left stick away from their punches, and flick forward to deliver quick jabs and straight punches before moving away, but keep your punches light. If you time it right with just enough space, you'll land a counterpunch indicated by a flash on the screen, inflicting heavy damage. Your opponent will become frustrated and clumsy as they get outpointed and gassed from throwing too many heavy punches in the ring.

Here's how to switch up your career mode and change your fighting style in Undisputed.

Utilize The Sidestep Counterpunch

This is one of the most satisfying ways to beat a fighter spamming power punches. You can duck underneath or away from their swing and side-step away from their power punches to land a counter or a power punch of your own to knock them down or gain a flash KO. The controls for executing the side step counterpunch combination are not displayed in the control setup.

PlayStation

Hold the R1 and move the L stick up or down away from the direction of their power punch. Then throw a power punch or a combo when their character has finished their animation and they've exposed their chin.

Xbox

Hold the RB and move the L stick up or down, away from the direction of their power punch. Throw a when their character has finished the animation and exposed their chin.

Be cautious of boxers with a long reach, such as Tyson Fury and especially Deontay Wilder. They have the ability to hit your boxer even when you're retreating, especially in online matches where potential connection issues and the spamming of powerful punches from Wilder players can seem to land from halfway across the ring.
