In the original "Punch Out" for the NES, how do you beat the Magic Tiger guy?

Question

He will go around fast in a circle and punch you until you fall. I've tried blocking and it doesn't work. I know this is an old game, but I'm hoping someone remembers it.

Answer 1

You must dodge when the Great Tiger is the closest to Little Mac (basically when the Great Tiger is in the southmost position in his circle thing).

You must repeat this step 4 or 5 times. It WON'T work if you just continously hold the dodge button during the whole process.

Answer 2

His 'Tiger Punch' in Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!! seemingly uses powers to teleport flying around the ring in circles hitting Mac with a barrage of quick jabs. After executing the maneuver he is unable to move due to the dizziness from his flying for several seconds, which allows the player to knock him down with one punch to the face regardless of how much health Great Tiger has up to that point.

Answer 3

I almost positive you need to block 4 or 5 punches. After that he stops and is dizzy, you just punch him or star punch him. He should fall right down.

I know you said blocking doesn't work but try it again. Time them right. If that doesn't work try dodging every time he comes around. That game is embedded in my brain from childhood.
