Rule Infractions

As per the unified rules of boxing established by the Association of Boxing Commissions and Combat Sports:

• In Punch-Out Wii, the Minor Circuit takes place in a run-down boxing gym. Boxing at this level mostly takes place in either bingo halls, smaller venues or casino plazas making this an improper venue for this level of boxing to take place in, though this place might double as a bingo hall as evident by the disco ball in Disco Kid's fight.

The Minor Circuit has 1 possible infraction.
