Lots on the internet about it.
About repeated blows that you?d get with a gloved hand compared to the relatively fewer hits that a single ungloved hand could deliver before the bones in his hand are shattered.
Conversely the was a guy down the pub, ex squaddy who was becoming mouthy over a period of a few weeks, pissing everyone off.
I thought to myself I?d have it out with him if it continued (20 years ago) anyway I wasn?t down the pub and someone else did just that, he got into a ruck with him and took one punch to the head, had to have his skull stapled together. Could easily have been me.
I found his drunken antics charming and endearing after that.
