That's right; when Mike Tyson lost to James "Buster" Douglas on February 11, 1990, Nintendo did not renew its deal with Tyson upon expiration. Sega then endorsed Douglas, and used him in its Genesis port of Final Blow, which was renamed James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing; Douglas replaced "Detroit Kid," while a new opponent created specifically for this version, the masked "Iron Head," was a take-off on Tyson (aka "Iron Mike").
The graphics still look really good today and some great animation too. Very impressive for 1988/1989. Early Taito's games are always very interesting as they use the same font and highscore table layout. So whether it's Bubble Bobble, The New Zealand Story, or a Boxing game. It's all the same nostalgic UI. lol
a lot of game companies did that, leaving their own little flavor or feel. nintendo games recycled their UI's, Atari recycled the sound fx/voice library (so did Sega).
Kinda how they done Mike Tyson punch out it had 2 diff versions one was super punch out I believe where it had sandman at the end miss these games fun times growing up 💯💯💯
Yo jugaba pero en Sega génesis en PC emulador lo que pasa mis manos y la tecla son duros otro juego cuando era chiquito recuerdo los joystick de mis manos no puedo con botones re duro ese era Sega yo tenía en mi celular el boxeo me gusta yo descargue la app con juegos clásicos de gameflot .

Does anybody remember the secret punch/ trick in this game???? I still remember.....🤔🤔 But when you did it....!!! The game it self had a serious "breakdown" it kinda "Bug'd" it self 🤭🤭The other boxer went invisible...!! Or some kind of shit...!! You could not hit him.... But he could destroy you.... It was LOL. But yeah....!! 😋😋Had many glory/golden days with this game in the old busted joint arkade hall... Back in tha days🙏👏👍😉😏
I'm more impressed by the hand speed of the audience than the boxers.
This was so impressive in the arcade back in the day
I remember watching the attract mode again and again and couldn't believe how realistic this was.
I just now realized that James "Buster" Douglas Boxing for the Sega Genesis was based on _this_ game!!!
Ahh, Buster Douglas Boxing came from this game.

Yep
the graphics and fluidity of the movements were quite impressive given the times
It looks like motion capture
This game was trash
A true classic boxing game and so was the Sega version

I remember playing this in the arcade room in the mall back in the early 90s.
This game was then ported with James "Buster" Douglas in the game.
Thank you, i had thought so too.

Final Blow Longplay (Arcade) [QHD]
This game was awesome
Had this for my Amiga never saw an arcade version funnilly enough but it looks f****** awesome
James Buster Douglas Boxing!
😅 5'-12"
I can honestly say I've never seen anyone that height before. 0:12
Kim nang is way harder than any other opponent.this gamer made it look easy!
I played this in an arcade in new York and I don't remember it being this easy!this guy is just pummeling everyone even the Asian dude.
This would make a great arcade archives game
Actually it will be on November 21st!
I have news for you…
It's coming tomorrow (unless you're in Japan because it's now available there)
It's here!
Great graphics in a 16-bit arcade game or 32-bit. It was great
Nice graphics.
Fucking game! I never figured out how to even throw a jab or the button config in that arcade box is all wrong.
Damn
Today it doesn't look that impressive but it definitely stood out graphic-wise during its time.
Used to hit this one up in the local 7-Elven back in the day \m/
Kids don't know any random location could have a full arcade video game 😅
This is the proto-James Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing, I gotta say. Nice one.
Not a proto of what would be that game, it UIS that game, just with Detroit Kid changed to Buster Douglas.
This bears a striking resemblance to Buster Douglas Boxing on the Genesis
The Genesis game was a port of this; Sega rushed to port it after Buster beat Mike Tyson.
UNLOCKING CHILDHOOD MEMORIES DONT MIND ME 💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🦾👏🏾
Какие же они смешные с такими мышцами! )
Was Detroit Kid supposed to be Tommy Hitman Hearns🥊 ?
This is James buster Douglas knockout boxing on the genesis he replaced Detroit kid
Nice! Gonna watch this one
Great game
Wow! I remember this!
I had this game on Sega Genesis
It's hard for me to tell who's winning without a health bar.
Grande gioco..i ko avvenivano al 90%su uppercut..
Oooo I want to play
I stille have on winUAE. It was easy to win with Detroit Kid.
Wasnt there a secret move where you can bite someone's ear off?

no legs animation at all
Die Grafik ist toll, aber das Spiel wird sehr schnell langweilig.
Coin muncher!
But fun
Hilarious lol
