7th or 8th grade, a guy with a wise ass rep was poking at a kid in a Boy Scout uniform. They squared up after school and the Boy Scout pummeled the kid. His dad was a fireman I got to know way later in life and taught his son how to box a little. It was enough.
Another guy in high school played youth hockey in Canada half the year and was a brawler. He would fight anyone for any reason. Just went in grabbing shirts and swinging like a hockey player. He started in on this big kind of blubbery black kid in this horn rimmed glasses. Well he charged in and the kid caught him on the jaw before he could grab hold. Kind of stood him up and punched him out good. The longer reach and good jabs kept the hockey player from being able to wrap him up.
