How do I beat Kid Quick? Seriously! I keep running out of time. :(

Been trying to beat Kid Quick since I got my PO!! and I am having no luck. I always run out of time. I have my game set to the TG settings and it seems that the round time for Kid Quick is much shorter than the previous opponents. Is that right? What's the secret in beating Kid Quick?
 
Kid Quick is tough. He is not physically dangerous, especially when you get used to his timing. He can still knock you out, of course, but your big danger against him is running out of time. He does not provide too many opportunities to pound at him, and he has no special move that you can hit him out of to knock him down.

Kid Quick tends to leave his body open more than his face. He will usually throw jabs in series of three. You can tell when he is about to jab because he raises his gloves, which allows you to hit him with a body blow. Alternatively, you can dodge his jab and try to hit him back. He sometimes follows the series with a hook.

The easiest way to get a few hits on him after his hook. He will raise his gloves in a specific way, different from the jab. Dodge it and throw a couple of left jabs. He will often let you get in a couple of extra jabs even after he is no longer stunned. Whatever you do, don't use body blows in this situation, because he will block and no longer be stunned. You can get away with making your first punch a body blow, but once he's stunned you must use jabs.

The breakthrough in a given match against Kid Quick will probably be when you finally get your KO meter full. He will often stand there and let you hit him multiple times. Don't stop unless he starts fighting back against them -- like Bald Bull he will sometimes. If you get really lucky you can fill up your KO meter and knock him down very fast at the start of the fight, and he might not even get up!

You may remember that sometimes Bald Bull will block and react to a left jab in such a way that it opens him to attack. Kid Quick will not fall for that trick. He will, however, fall for the same thing with right jabs. Sometimes he will counter with a body blow to your right (dodging left is much easier than dodging right), but most often he will duck your jab and throw a hook. Now you can get in at least two jabs, or a jab and a hook.

Alterate Approach to Defeating Kid Quick: This guy is actually the easiest person to beat in the game. Throw a right to his head and it will force him to retaliate with a hook. Dodge to the right and then follow with 3 left jabs to the face. Repeat this pattern and he goes down in about 30 seconds. This is touched on above, but with this method you are forcing him to throw a hook at you vs waiting for him to do it on his own.
