This classic arcade boxing title, released by Taito in 1988, features large character sprites and intense side-scrolling ring action. Players choose from a roster of distinct fictional fighters and battle their way through the ranks to claim the championship belt. It stands out for its methodical pacing and emphasis on stamina management, setting it apart from the faster button-mashing brawlers of its era.
How to Play
The objective is to knock out your opponent before the timer runs out or win by decision after three rounds. Insert a coin and press start to begin. Move around the ring and use your punches strategically.
- Insert Coin: Shift
- Start: Enter
- Movement: Arrow Keys

Tips
- Keep a close eye on your stamina meter below your health; throwing too many punches in a row will leave you exhausted and slow.
- Use the quick back-step maneuver to dodge heavy incoming attacks, then immediately follow up with a counter-punch.
- Mix up high and low punches. If your opponent keeps blocking headshots, work the body to break their defense.
