The Final Round, released in Japan as Hard Puncher (Japanese: ハードパンチャー - 血まみれの栄光 -, Hepburn: Hādopanchā: Chimamire no Eikō; lit. "Hard Puncher: Bloodsoaked Glory"), is a boxing arcade video game released by Konami in 1988.

The player selects one of two different boxers, and they fight another boxer in a three-round bout. Winning advances the player to the next opponent, climbing the KBA (Konami Boxing Association) rankings along the way. If the player loses, another coin can be inserted for an additional chance (rematch). Fights can be won by either knockout, technical knockout or the judges' decision.
