The "Battlin' Boxer" archetype focuses on Battle Phase advantage. Most of their effects deal with preventing their destruction by battle which gives them a slight advantage when dealing with monsters that would easily destroy them upon attack. "[[Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw]]" can add another "Battlin' Boxer" from your Graveyard to your hand and "[[Battlin' Boxer Headgeared]]" can send other "Battlin' Boxers" to the Graveyard, making use of any other monster in this archetype for quick hand or Graveyard advantage.

Overall, the biggest weakness of this archetype is that the non-Xyz Monsters of this archetype pose little threat compared to the Xyz Monsters, so if it's not possible to [[Xyz Summon]] quickly then, this archetype will suffer rather severely. To counter this, the use of cards in the archetype such as "[[Battlin' Boxer Switchitter]]" (to bring back other "Battlin' Boxers" at the cost of only being able to only Summon "Battlin' Boxers" that turn) and "[[Battlin' Boxer Sparrer]]" (for even quicker Xyz Summons at the cost of the turn's Battle Phase). Beware over-relying on these monsters though, as the use of the effect of "Switchitter" and "Sparrer" slow down the Deck's offensive Xyz Monsters, creating gaps the opponent can take advantage of and regain field control. Cards outside this archetype to tech in include "[[Goblindbergh]]" for its effect and "[[Field-Commander Rahz]]" to set up for combos on later turns.

The 2 main consistency monster of the deck are "[[Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter]]" and "[[Battlin' Boxer Promoter]]", promoter can quickly swarm the field by tributing itself to summon 2 "Battlin' Boxer" and can banish itself to modulate their level, while Uppercutter help search "counter" trap card when it's summon or when it's send to the GY via your card effects.

In general, this Deck has a good amount of strength and flexibility to allow it to counter most strategies. Keeping the Graveyard and hand full of "Battlin' Boxer" monsters gives advantage to Summon "[[Battlin' Boxer Lead Yoke]]" which is itself a helpful shield and a great offense. "Star Cestus" and its chaos form, "[[Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus]]" are both helpful for this Deck as "Star Cestus" provides a balance of offense and defense for the beginning of a game while "Comet Cestus" provides overwhelmingly aggressive offensive abilities which can damage your opponent greatly over a short period of time. "[[Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser]]" acts as a regular beater, gaining [[ATK]] for each of its [[Xyz Material]]s attached via its Summon or its effect, in addition to being able to bring back "Battlin' Boxer" monsters from the Graveyard (up to the number of Materials it had) when [[destroy]]ed by the opponent.

Some extender of the deck that these monster can be bring out or search are : "[[Battlin' Boxer Chief Second]]", "[[Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw]]", "[[Battlin' Boxer Shadow]]" and "[[Battlin' Boxer Sparrer]]" which helps swarm the field or recovery.
−
As an alternative one can use copies of "[[Photon Thrasher]]" along "[[Masked Chameleon]]" which along with "Glassjaw" can give the Deck access to powerful Level 8 [[Synchro Monsters]] or another Xyz if needed. "Photon Thrasher" can be used as a powerful beater as well as an immediate Xyz if another monster is Summoned, furthermore since "Thrasher" is a Warrior, Xyz Monsters like "[[Heroic Champion - Excalibur]]" and "[[Blade Armor Ninja]]" can be Summoned without the normal restrictions the "Boxers" have.

Playing style

The "Battlin' Boxer" archetype focuses on Battle Phase advantage and disrupting the opponent via their "Battlin' Boxing" counter trap card. The deck achieve this mainly by swarming the field as fast as possible to XYZ summon their extra deck monster. The 2 main consistency monster of the deck are "Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter" and "Battlin' Boxer Promoter", promoter can quickly swarm the field by tributing itself to summon 2 "Battlin' Boxer" and can banish itself to modulate their level, while Uppercutter help search "counter" trap card when it's summon or when it's send to the GY via your card effects. Some extender of the deck that these monster can be bring out or search are : "Battlin' Boxer Chief Second", "Battlin' Boxer Glassjaw", "Battlin' Boxer Shadow" and "Battlin' Boxer Sparrer" which helps swarm the field or recovery. The deck also host 4 different hand traps in which 2 can be used in the Gy via banishing with two of the most notable one being "Battlin' Boxer Counterpunch" and "Battlin' Boxer Chief Second". The Extra deck "Battlin' Boxer" have a varriety of effects raging from setting up disruption with "Battlin' Boxer King Dempsey" and "Number C79: Battlin' Boxer General Kaiser" or Dealling a lot of effect damage via battle with "Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus" and "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus". A good bridge between these two style is "Number 79: Battlin' Boxer Nova Kaiser" who can provide main deck monster for "Number 105: Battlin' Boxer Star Cestus" effect and extra body for summoning "Number C105: Battlin' Boxer Comet Cestus" via level modulation from "Battlin' Boxer Promoter" or a rank-up magic card for the extra effect.

Perhaps one of the most unique aspect of the archetype is it's ability to search out trap card with "counter" in it's name making the use of "Flamvell Counter" very effect in the deck as "Battlin' Boxer Uppercutter" coincidentally have 200 Def. Some other options include "Battlin' Boxing Cross Counter" and "Jolt Counter".
