I remember playing this for hours and hours in my room as a little kid I really wish I still had my ps2 and that game bro this is bringing back some of the memories
I remember when I would play this game all day and night. I had my Playstation 2 at the time. I don't know why but I just had to look this game up on RUclips. Nothing but good times.
Brings back so many memories playing this game ahh I miss Midway When it came down to NBA Jam Mortal Kombat(which is still going) NFL Blitz and Crusin USA
This was a great multiplayer game. It was alright in single player mode too but playing against a human opponent was a lot of fun. My whole family used to play this and they didn't even play video games.
This just made me re live my child hood I gotta grab me a copy Afro thunder was the cheese god if u kno u kno but that “You can’t stop the thunderbolt 😂 get me every time
Why can't Ready 2 Rumble boxing be remade for PS3, PS4, and XBOX 360? Since celebrities like Shaquille O'Neal and Michael Jackson were characters on the game why can't Laila Ali, Jacqueline Frazier, Chun Li(from street fighter), Joe Frazier, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Lennox Lewis, Floyd Mayweather Jr., Oscar De La Hoya, Manny Pacquiao, Shane Moseley, Roy Jones Jr., and other celebrities be characters in the remake? Having a create a character feature as well probably wouldn't be a bad idea. Anyone else agree?
One thing I always found with fighting as/against Afro is that whenever he gets knocked down, it always took him an extra second to get up so he could do that dance step. I've had it before where he's been counted out when he was up but hadn't yet done the dance step.
This is why it’s always good to save and secure every game system or electronic device you own as a kid because when nostalgia shows up in your life you’ll have a way to cope with it lol
Damn I could never see gaming developers put this effort in games like this again. Attention to detail is slick
Back when they couldn't just rely on fancy graphics & upscaled "gameplay" to sell games. They had to make them actually fun & repayable.
Idk games is pretty fun now
@harrunsonk8271 no they aren't
@@harrunsonk8271micro transactions, game Devs gas lighting customers for not buying their products.
Yeah really great era we're in lol
This game was truly ahead of its time
Afro Thunder was always my guy. This video makes me really sad that there's no port of this on pc or modern consoles. Nothin' but love for ya, Afro.
you can play this on pc, i do.
Doesn’t Afro thunder vs Borris remind u of Creed vs Drago???
@@_deweyblack_ Yeah particularly with how badly he beat my ass in this run
Right I wish this came back.
Same it was mine too
Best/Fun boxing game ever
I gotta play it again lol because Fight Night Champion is mine
Nop goes to fight night round 2 on gamecube even comes with super punchout wen you beat the game
The nostalgia man. I want to play this game again.
Never noticed how much Afro sounded like Chris Rock 😂
Same lmao
In my mind it was always Chris Rock as Afro Thunder
He sounds like Kel Mitchell to me
Chris Rock needed to channel Afro thunder at the Grammies lol
A perfect example of why I support emulation. Saw this, got nostalgic, 10 minutes later playing it on pcsx2.
I’m literally playing PSP games on my iPhone from the new PPSSPP app and it’s amazing!
Midway should come back and make a greatest hits remastered for the new generation. Include all the awesome games - Hitz, Blitz, Slugfest, R2R, etc.
my childhood 😢 they don’t make games like this anymore
wtf is with your name
@@SuperStar7650 Michael Jackson soooo last year
How have I just accidentally stumbled upon my favorite childhood video game? 😂
I miss this game lol
“You can’t stop the thunderbolt!!”

I get an afro and my dad starts calling me this and I look it up and I'm greeted with this can't say I'm disappointed
Afro Thunder is the best! Undercover Brother too!
One of the best games ever made
8:04 - Best *sucker punch* moment!
Why is this funny Hahahaha
this had me rolling omfg
Should've been the ko moment 😂😆
Lol I keep playing this all day
🙀21 YEARS AGO FK !!!!!!! WHY HAS THIS NEVER BEEN REMASTERED OR AT LEAST PORTED WTF
Because the soft world we live in now would try to cancel it with how the characters are

Reminds me of playing my cousins...Somebody always get mad and say..."I bet you can't beat me up in real life"😂😂😂 Good times
Not even the credits are convincing me that was Shaq doing that voice...
I had this for my Nintendo 64 I couldn’t stop playing it 😭😭🔥💯
This game was crack nothing like it since.
This takes me back to my PlayStation days.
Facts
No lie this was the joint.
Gotta love Afro Thunder! Talkin shit, Dancin like James Brown, and whoopin ass at the same time! 😂
31:45 that scream will never stop being funny to me
Cant believe that this was made by the same company that made mortal kombat
Midway.
More like peakway
You cant stop the thunderbolt its my favorite line on this game
This Game amazing nostalgic
I don't think I ever saw or knew how to do a K.O. when I had this game.
Same lol
I eventually learned how but it was too late. Kid me had damaged the disc beyond repair.
Same..I would just mash buttons
Same here
I used to think A. Thunder was voiced by Chris Rock.
Afro Circus, Afro Thunder 😂
He is Chris rock in my head canon.
My two kids play ready to rumble on the Dreamcast, great memories when I bought this for my Dreamcast
Back in the day.
Afro thunder was the Muhammad Ali of the game
I remember getting stuck for hours on rumble man as a kid, good times.
My boy Afro Thunder would record himself busting some heads. Respect 😆😆😆
Why they never continued this game is beyond me !! Had so much fun playing this game cause it was so different from other boxing games. He 👍👍
LOVED this game! And Afro Thunder was my NIGGA
BETTA CALL THE DOCTAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH HAAOOOOWWWWWW
Did MJ give the clearance to be in the game?!😂
I read that he wanted to be in the game, after loving the first one so much
Nothing but retribution I seek for this game.
7:04 and 8:03 that knockback though 🥶
OMGGG I RMEMEBER THIS GAME😩
Somehow this ridiculous game felt more natural than the EA Sports Fight Night series. This game was just FUN to play
The good old times I've had on this game, hopefully it comes back with a remaster!
Damn!!!This was my game back in the day...I would love to get my hands on this again...
Johnny bad blood was a beast my brother used to give me the buisiness with him😂
😆😆 that’s my guy 😆😆
Amazing comedy value to this game. Ahhh the nostalgia
This just made me re live my child hood I gotta grab me a copy Afro thunder was the cheese god if u kno u kno but that “You can’t stop the thunderbolt 😂 get me every time
I miss this so much
I always thought That Afro Thunder was based on Eddie Griffins character
The graphics still hold up!! I used to love michael jackson!!!!
8 year old me is freaking out rn.
I used to play this on sega Dreamcast as a kid 😭
wow, 0 dislikes. that‘s real love of this game and the old times of ps2.

I played it on Dreamcast dont think it was on PS2
Grady Gilchrist I had it on Dreamcast too 👌🏻

I played this on my Playstation 2 after I had played it on my Uncle's dreamcast
JR Fury was always my guy 💀
This needs a remake for Nintendo Switch

Not just for Nintendo Switch, but also for Ps5 and Xbox.
Feminists would destroy it...

I feel it in my bones
Nostalgic af I remember playing this on Dreamcast ohh man the memories 😅

Classic game, had this on Dreamcast.
RIP Midway games - (1958 - 2010)
Man i need this game on the ps4! This was the best boxing game i ever played

I need to play this video game since I was seven years
My brother and I were insane at this game lol
2005 was 2 years old prolly that time
I’ve never played this game but some reason I feel nostalgic
Afro thunder and butcher brown were awsome to fight classic game
This is why it’s always good to save and secure every game system or electronic device you own as a kid because when nostalgia shows up in your life you’ll have a way to cope with it lol
Or you can always just emulate on pc as well
THERE IT IS! I ONLY HAD THIS ON N64!(Silly huh?)but i had fun back then
