Glass Joe

Glass Joe is a character from the Punch-Out!! series.
== Charactah Account ==
The guy with the glass jaw and outrageous French accent. Along with Gabby Jay, Joe holds the WVBA record for most career losses.
Matching his weak physique, Glass Joe constantly complains about his pain in between rounds. He can be heard complaining about such things as his gloves being too tight, being too old for fighting, his stomach hurting and most importantly about his weak jaw. In Punch-Out!! featuring Mr. Dream, he even commonly asks if he has time to take a nap before the fight and is eager to retire.
In Punch-Out!! (Wii), Glass Joe is a lot more energetic than in his previous appearances. While he still sometimes complains about his pain between rounds, he tries to gain the audience's cheering and even lightly taunts Little Mac. He has a passion for baguettes, croissants, and coffee, as seen in his intro. He is also shown to be patriotic to France, as his taunt has him declaring "Vive la France" (which ironically left him with enough of an opening to be easily knocked down).

== Trivia ==
* His name comes from the boxing term "glass jaw," a vulnerability where a boxer can easily be knocked out via a hard blow to the chin or jaw.
* In Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, the sprites for Glass Joe and Don Flamenco are missing part of their right foot, likely due to size limitations.
* In August 2013, Mike Tyson played his own game, Mike Tyson's Punch Out!!, for the first time. Ironically, he did not have the gaming experience to even beat Glass Joe.
* Glass Joe and Gabby Jay share many characteristics:
** They serve as the first boxer fought in their respective games.
** They are both from Paris, France.
** They both weigh in at 110 lbs.
** They both use the "Taunt Punch" attack.
** They have the same initials (G.J.)
** Their names are both 8 letters long, 5 in the first name, 3 in the last name.
** They are tied for fight experience, each of them having fought 100 bouts.
** Their records are the same, with a record of 1-99.
* The Official Nintendo Magazine claims Glass Joe defeated Nick Bruiser in an accident, supported by the fact that he is on the fastest score list. However, Nick Bruiser has an undefeated 42-0 record.
* In Punch-Out!! (Wii), Glass Joe is the only opponent who has a challenge requiring the player to lose the fight.
* Glass Joe will occasionally stumble during his intro in Contender Mode, cutting off his usual introduction. This intro is more common than the full intro.
* Much like Von Kaiser, he can be defeated within 30 seconds if using the right methods.
* Little Mac can obtain a protective headgear similar to Glass Joe's by suffering 100 defeats like Glass Joe did when he got his own. Glass Joe gaining his headgear possibly hints at this being part of the WVBA's regulations. However, Little Mac's headgear diminishes all damage completely as opposed to only negating head damage like Glass Joe's.
** Glass Joe and Little Mac are the only characters who can receive headgear during the course of the game.
** This also makes Glass Joe one of two opponents in to utilize a gameplay mechanic usable by the player, the other being Doc Louis for his use of the Star Punch.
* Glass Joe can be knocked down up to 5 times in both Contender mode and Title Defense, unlike higher-ranked fighters in the Minor Circuit (except for King Hippo, as he'll be defeated once after getting knocked down), who can only get knocked down 4-6 times in Contender mode, then 5-6 times in Title Defense depending on their set knockdown limit.
* At full health, without ever finishing a stun or countering, he can take up to 34 punches.
