Kinda unfair, if you ask me. It's really not too bad a game. Nothing outstanding, nothing groundbreaking, but not terrible, and certainly not only a 1/10. I bet they just weren't in the mood to play a game like that, is all. Most people are content with their gory shoot-em-ups, which Punch out is practically the opposite of.
Like I said, it's mostly just pattern memorization. If you don't practice, then it's got more of an element of unpredictability and reflexes to it, but you're also much more likely to lose.
If you think about it, though, most games can be boiled down to pattern memorization. How many boss fights involve repeated attacks which you have to learn, dodge, and counter in order to win? Probably all of them, right? If you think about it like that, Punch out is kind of like a string of boss fights.
I'd give it a 6/10 at least.
