I feel I am always late to the discussion....
I hope that there will be a way to win the boxing match.... not a huge mini game fan (that is, mini games that impact story outcome). Having it "for fun" would be ok... i guess most players save//reload or go online to get a walk through/cheat to get past complex mini games to get their desired result anyway, which tends to break the flow of the game.
For me, they are ok on an initial play through, but then get pretty tedious for multiple play throughs... and H5 kind of demands many play throughs.
Give the MC a sporting chance... we know little about his back story... he could've been the 5th Fleet MMA champ for all we (or Chris) know... right?
