Battlin' Boxer

"Battlin' Boxer", known as "Burning Knuckler" ( Bāningu Nakkurā) in Japan, is an archetype comprised of FIRE Warrior-Type monsters used by Alit in the Yu-Gi-Oh! ZEXAL anime. Each monster is based on boxing gear or special boxing jargon.

Playing style
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' Boxer" 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 pose no big threat like the Xyz Monsters of this archetype, so if its not possible to Xyz Summon quickly then these monsters will suffer rather severly. To counter this, use of cards in the archetype like "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). Cards outside this archetype to tech in include "Goblindbergh" for its effect and "Field-Commander Rahz" to set up a combo for later.

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 defense in the beginning and "Comet Cestus" provides very aggressive offense which can damage your opponent greatly over a short period of time.
