Played by: SCHLAUCHI
The Final Round, released in Japan as Hard Puncher, is a boxing arcade game released by Konami in 1988.
A player selects one of two different boxers, and they fight another boxer in a three-round bout. If the player wins, he moves on to the next opponent, climbing the KBA (Konami Boxing Association) rankings along the way. If he loses, he can insert another coin for another chance (rematch). Fights can be won by either knockout, technical knockout or the judges' decision.

If you look at Konami's answer to Altered Beast, aka Metamorphic Force, the main character out of the four you select, looks exactly like Dolph Lundren circa that He-Man movie he did (long 80's hair)
