As well as adjusting Detroit Kid's sprite to better resemble Buster Douglas, there are slight palette changes across the board. The background colours are dictated by the palettes of the boxers (this is true in both Final Blow and James "Buster" Douglas Knockout Boxing), however Douglas is the only boxer across the two versions to play in white (as he was when facing Tyson), meaning his matches are less colourful.

The Japanese release does not state the round number at the beginning of a fight.
