Many years ago, when I had to do boxing at school (the education system was different then), I simply could not understand why I had to follow rules. I mean, there we were, my opponent and myself, engaged in a fight - no other word for it - and yet I was not allowed to trip him up and poke his eyes out, or even let him off with a Chinese burn.
So I was a little sympathetic to a man I had not previously heard of, Dereck Chisora, who, while fighting for the world title, managed, before the fight, to slap his opponent's face and afterwards (he lost) to engage in a battle with another boxer who had not been involved.
That's more like it.
