what's the verdict on this game from a boxing perspective. Action-Control wise , is it Fun ? so-so ?

I definitely hated 1.0 and wasted $90 on that crap. I heard 2.0 is big improvement. But there are still too many dialogues, cut scenes, and not enough actions is what I heard. And the quest objectives are hella confusing based on some early user feedback. Those wouldn't be a deal breaker for me though. I mostly care about smooth animation and control, responsive action feedback, fluid combat, deep itemization and skill/talent progression.
