Half a joke, half why boxers still wear their shorts as high as 1900 monopoly men.

Remind me: Why can't they simply turn their opponent upside down then punch them above the belt.

Scene:

Moustache boxer hugs and flips belt guy onto ropes. Not a punch. Gotta be legal.

Cut to shocked spectators.

CRUNCH.

Shocked faces turn to winces and grimaces. Except maybe one guy who's amazed or creepily excited.
