I don't think countering his double-fist move is enough. You have to counter him when he's about to go down. He'll be knocked back into the ropes, he will lose his crown but regain about half his health. After that you just beat him like you normally do.

I wish one of the Bruisers were in this game.

For Aran Ryan

1. Jab when he taunts you
2. Hit him when he is on your left before he hits you
3. Hit him (after he punches) and then dodge early and hook him. It is trickly to get this one
4. Block his headbutt and then jab him. Do not do it too early or too late.

Thanks Smashchu, I'll try it out. (and I totally butchered Aran Ryan's name, lol.)

I'm sure somebody posted this already, but I LMAO when I saw this on TV:

Looks like everyone is having a lot of fun with this game.. Wish I had some money to spare for it. Guess I'll just have to pick it up in about 2-3 months.

I see. I didn't notice how far down he was when I took the crown, but it's good to know there's more conditions (well, I'm glad you told me, anyways). Thanks!

I finally got into title defense mode, and I've already finished off the challenges in normal mode for Glass Joe, Von Kaiser, Piston Honda, and Bear Hugger.

So I didn't see anything here, but does anyone know definitely how to knock off Don Flamenco's toupee? I managed to beat the challenge, but I always just pound away on him and it falls off before he goes down for the final time. But that doesn't always work.

I don't know if I have to hook him when he is below half health or what.

I was working on his challenges tonight. He seemed to consistently lose his toupee right before his third knockdown of the fight, at about 25-33% health. Any hook or jab seemed to do it.

So basically the toupee challenge seems to be a challenge to almost TKO Don in the first round. I never actually got it, because I was too busy hunting for stars. :/
