Title Bout Through the Years!
The Last Jim Trunzo Boxing Creation:
The Sugar Ray Leonard Career Deck!
It's been 47-years since the debut of our Avalon Hill Title Bout: Game of Professional Boxing and 50-years since our first published boxing game, Truco Championship Boxing by Jim Barnes and Statis-Pro games.
​
The journey has been filled with ups and downs, with far more positives than negatives. However, the time has come to bid adieu to the product that has been three-quarters of my life.
​
That being the case, I wanted to go out with a bang rather than a whimper. Ergo The Sugar Ray Leonard Career Deck. This concept has nagged at me for dozens of years; now I can say that, regardless of its success, I accomplished a satisfactory goodbye to all of you who have so loyally accompanied me on the journey.
​
What is a "Career Deck" and why Sugar Ray Leonard?
​Answering the easy part first. Sugar Ray Leonard is, unquestionably, a worthy subject. That said, the real allure was that Leonard's career was comprised of "only" 40 bouts. You'll understand why once you understand the concept and creation of this special deck.
​
Specifics:
​Sugar Ray Leonard has FIVE rated cards to simulate the various stages of his career from his first bout against Luis Vega to his last bout against Hector Camacho, allowing for the many one-year retirements to the multi-year retirements.
​
Of equal importance to the replay, each of Leonard's forty opponents have also been individually rated from their first bout until they met Sugar Ray in the ring. That means all bouts portray both Leonard and his competition at the stage the fighters were when the bout was held. Incidentally, The research that's gone into this deck should explain why Leonard, with 40 fights was selected for this special deck rather than a fighter like the other Sugar Ray . . . Robinson with over 200 bouts!
​
Contents include all you need to attempt the challenge of recreating Leonard's magnificent career. Can he repeat his contests against boxing royalty like Roberto Duran, Thomas Hearns, Marvin Hagler? Can he avoid his ego-driven disasters against Terry Norris and Hector Camacho? The fascinating element of this special deck is to see how closely Title Bout can emulate Sugar Ray's actual career.
​
PLEASE NOTE THAT YOU MUST HAVE A COMPLETE TITLE BOUT GAME TO USE THE SUGAR RAY LEONARD CAREER DECK.​
