Both tough guys who got and gave. The last two shots (over hand rights) by the Jockey in white landed nicely. Kid in Blue loses based upon my scoring system
1. Kick to the head. Bad move. That's only a war-time move.
2.Throwing a punch after the cop arrived. That's weak and not good. Immediate disqualifying.

This commentary would be fine if the sport was boxing and the guys were trained boxers. This is supposed to be racing and the guys playing this macho game were jockeys.
Fights are never a good thing nor a good way to "work things out". That's why we have law enforcement. I'm sure the police would be delighted for people to work out their problems with violence (sarcasm).
A lot of people are very naive as to the kind of brain damage that an unpadded fist can cause. This is not a Hollywood western where people come out of brawls in the saloon with nothing more than a bloody nose. Jockeys already expose their bodies to enough injury in riding without adding this tough guy bullshit.
