In Street Cred Boxing you and four other fighters try to raise enough money to save Joe Lebrinski's boxing gym on the east side of the city from a group of wealthy developers. Before facing the rival toughs from the west side, each fighter must complete a series of training exercises. One challenge has you punching a heavy bag for twenty seconds by rapidly moving the joystick left and right. The more hits you land, the more a meter fills at the bottom of the screen, and once it reaches the highlighted zone the fighter can move on to the next exercise. Only those who successfully complete the training are allowed to take part in the final street showdown.
