Imagine getting your iron man run of a game ruined because a goofy gorilla jumps in, hits you with moves you've never seen and beats you through the combination of the weirdness factor, the stress of the run and the fact that's a gorilla you're fighting. This really was a game way ahead of its time. But you should not try to box a gorilla. Aside from the ethical issues you are up against a creature with superior muscle composition, structure and abundancy, bigger lungs and hearts, superior skeletal structures and limbs that let them climb trees like you climb stairs. They are fundamentally, biologically, evolutionarily, built different. The only, ONLY way you MIGHT beat a gorilla in a fight is by tiring it out, but at that point you will have spent several minutes if not longer fighting a GORILLA. Yeah, it's like fighting Mike Tyson but on steroids. And if you had to fight a gorilla you'd be lucky compared to some other primates: gorillas are content with their "fights" being two big males showing off. Orangutans are dangerous because they are smart: there are infamous cases of orangutans being able to do things like fashioning and hiding tools out of metal bars to help them escape zoo enclosures, or have them untie knots and stealing boats. But they are still hella strong and if you upset an orangutan it WILL make this down. But don't pick a fight with a chimpanzee: while the others would rather bluff and chase you off and keep the actual fighting to a minimum, a chimpanzee will rip off whatever small part of your body it can get its hands on, whether this is your nose, your ears or even your stuff down there. Just don't fight them if you don't want to end up with a closed casket funeral.
