I boxed when I was young. I had 329 fights. I can honestly say that I never purposely fouled my opponents ..... unless they purposely fouled me, and the referee failed to address it. Then I figured "anything goes."

"Oh dear! I landed a low blow that raked you foul cup over your balls?"

"Ooops! Did my elbow land on your brow when I threw that left hook? Looks like some blood trickling..."

"Sorry about my thumb in your eye."

"Gracious! Did that head-butt give you a bloody nose?"

If your opponent fights dirty, without consequence, and you don't, you might as well enter the ring to fight with one arm tied behind your back.
