Maybe 30 seconds into round one I put a kick on his lead thigh; he looked a little shocked and said “can we just box? There’s no kicking in Toughman”. Long story short, I ended up with a broken rib after continually getting hammered in the same spot and had a very painful next few nights trying to get in and out of bed. I have had a real respect for boxers ever since. Especially if you play by their rules.

Yup, but if a boxer tries to mix it up under MMA rules...they're hopeless.
