Jungle Gym The Jungle Gym is a business operating in New Reno . Background . Situated on Second Street in New Reno , the Jungle Gym has produced many - if not all - of the post - nuclear wasteland ' s prizefighters , including the ( in ) famous Mike " The Masticator . " Just south of the Shark Club casino , home of the Bishops , and across Second Street from the Golden Globes studio , the Jungle can provide a brief career opportunity for someone with strength , guts , and a malfunctioning survival instinct . Much of the Jungle Gym is , predictably , given over to weight training and boxing drills . Many fighters spend their days in the Jungle , training and hoping to one day make the big time . The prospective boxers are evaluated , and many are passed over , by the resident boxing coach : a red - haired little person named , Stuart Little . Fighting . Despite the anarchy of New Reno itself , the New Reno boxing establishment does have rules . More than that , it has standards . A prospective boxer must match up to certain physical expectations - as held by Stuart - to be considered , or it ' s back outside . If Stuart decides to take a chance on a fighter , they choose a name , are stripped of their inventory ( for the duration of the fight only ) , are handed a pair of regulation boxing gloves , and tossed into the ring with a " training wheels " fighter . The boxing scene in New Reno is tight , and a single failure can doom a career . Even so , with only one agent around , Stuart generally dictates his cut of any earnings . Rules of Marquis de Reno Boxing . There ' s generally only two rules in New Reno boxing : everything must hit above the waist , and no kicking . A called shot to the groin or legs will end the bout with a loss for the player character , and so does any kicking . Traditional forms of " cheating , " such as using boxing gloves with metal inserts , would probably be considered in violation of the ersatz rules of wasteland boxing , were there a boxing commission to investigate the matter . As a result , a few pairs of plated boxing gloves float around New Reno . The Breaks and Breaking . The life of a potential prizefighter is fraught with peril , the least of which is losing . The New Reno boxing establishment is not very forgiving , and many a new boxer has found no pity in Stuart Little ' s eyes after losing an early bout . Towards the higher ends of competition , injury is a distinct possibility , up to and including the removal of certain extremities - namely , the ears - thanks to the overeager antics of the current New Reno boxing golden boy , Mike " The Masticator . " This is not to say , though , that prizefighting cannot pay dividends . Each fight won brings money , and for those who can go the distance , the vaunted title of Prizefighter awaits . Being a Prizefighter means instant recognition , at least in New Reno , and bonuses to unarmed fighting ability . Experience is , after all , the best teacher . Being a Prizefighter can get one in the Cat ' s Paw free , as well as becoming a Porn Star . Additionally , since entering each fight grants a bonus to damage resistance , an enterprising boxer might throw several fights intentionally to replay them and increase this bonus . Notes . Most of the names that you can choose to be your nickname while fighting are references to Rocky , though there is a reference to Punch - Out , as one of the names is Glass Joe , the first fighter in the game .
