Representative Kayo Kirby
In general parlance, boxing is a combat sport where two fighters square off in fisticuffs. However, once in a while writers remember that boxing is considered a martial art and it is used as a fighter’s style of choice outside the ring. In these cases, boxing techniques and skills will be presented as every bit as valid as any other martial art, “Red Boxing Gloves” optional, depending on the seriousness of the work. Generally an “Extremity Extremist”, since traditionally boxing has no kicks. Expect “Rapid-Fire Fisticuffs” if the fighter is sufficiently fast. Compare “Good Old Fisticuffs”, which is about untrained fighters are equal to trained martial artists (and they’ll generally use some boxing moves, as it’s the most “accessible” martial art for them to witness)… ~ Boxing Battler – TV Tropes
