Here are my personal tips for some of the tougher boxers:

 

Bald Bull: You can dodge his Bull Charge and counter with a body blow if you're quick enough, as this will hurt him. But if you really want to get him, hit him with a body blow on his third bounce (just as his eyes turn yellow. Trust me, this is very tricky for even me after all these years.)

 

Kid Quick: Throw a right and wait for him to crouch and throw a hook, then unload on him. Repeat this as necessary.

 

Pizza Pasta: Similar, except he throws uppercuts instead of hooks when you have an attack dodged or blocked generally. Also, he may attempt to clinch you at times, which means you should hold right. As soon as the referee says 'Break!' you'll dodge his uppercut, at which point you can punch him numerous times to really wear him down.

 

Mr. Sandman: He's like Pizza Pasta except he seems to throw uppercuts out of nowhere, and his defense is tough. Just be patient and try to dodge his punches and counter when you can.

Eerily similar to my current 2600 HSC Crystal Castles score... 73,270

I can marathon this game. The highest displayable score is 999,990, though that exact score is hard to get (I've done it in Super Punch-Out). It is mostly a matter of luck. You could just as easily have 999,960, 999,970, or 999,980 just before the score rolls over. To prove a score higher than 999,990 you would have to show a shot of the screen that also shows the fight number (for example, if it was showing fight #40 and a score of 100,000, you would know that is actually 1,100,000). I have a Super Punch-Out machine along with a regular Punch-Out boardset that I can swap into it, but I don't have a digital camera (though I sometimes borrow one from my sister; when she actually has batteries for it).

 

 

For starters, here is a score from MAME where I stopped at 999,960 (landing one more punch would have rolled the score):
