How to get an A Rank on all Skill Challenges on Hard Difficulty.
Defense Tactics - Holding RB or RT and pressing A,B,X or Y will parry the strikes and gain you the most score and time.
Heavy Bag Hands & Legs - Keep your stamina high to land strikes with power, and vary your strikes between jabs, hooks, uppercuts and elbows.
Clinch Control - Keep your stamina high to transition quicker, land the odd strike to gain time and score.
Takedown Offense - Get two clinch takedowns to earn 150 score each and two normal takedowns to reach 500.
Submission Offense - Probably the hardest skill challenge, the AI seems to try to escape in the same pattern (Up,Left,Down,Right) and the same timing, so you kind of need to get used to the pattern and block before they move rather than blocking as they change direction.
