06/16/09 - Game Night: Fight Night Round 4 - Part 1 of 2
This is part 1 of 2 of Game Night with Fight Night Round 4. A quick left jab to the face, followed by a right hook to the body -- Muhammad Ali is steadily gaining momentum on Mike Tyson, pushing him in the corner with shots that sting like a, uh, bee (sorry for the clich�). We played Fight Night Round 4, EA's boxing game that pits the legends of the ring, Muhammad Ali and Mike Tyson (among others), against each other in a dream match. Watch Alice, Garnett, David, and Tina as they box each other in the ring until someone breaks the controller.
