Somebody please tell me that the trailer isnt for the Xbox 360. That looked like it was on the PS2 or something. For one the opponent looked nothing like Jermaine Taylor. I understand like how on live and Madden they really only go in depth with visuals with star players. But this is a boxing game of the best boxers in the world. Only about 20 to 30 guys that you have to get visuals for. They shoulda been done alot better than what i saw on the trailer. If that was for the 360 then I'm gonna trade mine in now!!!

I think the trailer that is linked on this site is crap.
However - it looks like a special demo is coming to the live marketplace tonight - can't wait for that (see xbox.com watch the trailer, read then end).

I will wait until I play the demo. Full Auto had the same problem with the bad frame rate in the trailer but the actual demo is almost silky smooth.

What are you guys on that demo looked amazing...but the models look a little slow and stiff to me. I hope the demo shows up tonight.
