A couple of days ago, we learned that Electronic Arts is planing to shut down the online servers for some of its older sports titles this coming September and October. Among the long list provided by the company is the boxing jewel otherwise known as Fight Night Round 3 for the PlayStation Portable. Before EA Sports ultimately pulls the plug on this one, we decided to scour through our piles of aging UMD games and have another round with it, so to speak. After all, it's always hard to part with a good friend.

Fight Night Round 3 comes from a long-running boxing franchise that probably goes back to Knockout Kings one full decade ago. The franchise officially changed its name to Fight Night in 2004 when the first title was released on the PlayStation 2 and the original Xbox. FNR 3 is actually the first time EA Sports released the game on a handheld console and, if we may say, it's been a tremendous success.

We will spar around its features and dig deep to its very core, ultimately knocking out every doubt some fans had or still have in their minds. We will give a series of steady jabs, right and left hooks, full force haymakers and illegal special moves - all hoping to make you not forget Fight Night Round 3 and include it in your trophy case of most memorable PSP gaming experience.

Read on and finish this fight!
