IGN video for the new build of Don King boxing for the Wii (also Nintendo DS), featuring Nate Campbell versus Daniel Ponce de Leon. Feel free to ignore the 13-pound fight weight differential between the two.

I've heard Prizefighter sucks compared to Fight Night
But if it has controls where you actually throw the punches, then I’m interested. If you’re just pushing buttons like some of the other games, then that defeats the purpose of having a Wii.
A little disappointing that the fighters don’t particularly look like what they look like in real life. The “Chad Dawson” is particularly bad. They rendered a bad Chad. Pretty much everyone looks wider and more built than they do in real life though.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Should have read the review first...
The game plays from a behind the character perspective and utilizes the Wii Remote/Nunchuk combination for all the different punches. In this respect it feels similar to Wii Sports boxing since each fist’s throw is handled by the specific hand. If you want to left jab or uppercut, thrust or swing the Nunchuk. Right fist, Wii Remote. Head and body shots are toggled by holding the Z trigger down on the left hand, B trigger on the right. To block, hold A.
What 2K brings to the table is the first boxing game to utilize the Balance Board peripheral that’s included in Wii Fit. It’s an optional add-on in Don King Boxing but it definitely adds a lot to the experience since you can now duck and weave by shifting your weight up on the board. Without the board the dodges are mapped to the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, but it seems that Balance Board users will have the upper-hand (er, feet) since you can dodge and throw punches simultaneously, a skill that’s apparently not possible without it.
Vogt early, Vogt often.
Prizefighter stinks
"I was trying to rob him. And he took my gun from me. And the gun was full of blanks. And he shot a blank into my eye. And now I cannot see from this eye ever again, the doctors say."
"Well to be honest it sounds like it's all your fault."
looks ok
I like that you can use the balance board but I am still more interested in Punch Out at this point
