The game is in the title
I played this game a lot when it was released, originally, on the Atari ST. I haven't played the DOS game yet, but they look pretty much similar so outside of the occasional different graphics, I have no doubt they are the same game. You pick young boxers to manage and send them in the ring. There are plenty of stats available and some info like "glass jaw" etc which let you know what type of boxer you are getting. You set up fights and proceed to increase the standing of your boxers. Time wise about half the game is played from the office. The other half is in the ring. There are no graphics for the actual fight. No animations, nothing. Is that unfortunate? Yes, but similarly to the similar (for many years) Championship Manager, there is text description of the fight as it goes. It's actually far more interesting than one would think. You do get to make choices while the fight is on. I can't really say how well the game has aged since I haven't played it in a couple of decades, but if you like the idea of managing boxers, this can be quite satisfying. I won't give it 5 stars as even for me that would require to be able to see the fights, and I do realize that for most people this would be closer to 3 stars than 4, but all things considered I strongly believe this game is worth the 4 stars, if you love the setting.
