Amateur boxing, where you get punch in the face.
Amateur wrestling, you get hurt.

Calcio Storico (Italian: historical football)
As far as I can wok out it is played in the following way:
It’s a game played between two teams dressed from the waist down in renaissance costumes. From the start the about half the players from the two teams fist fight with each other while the rest mill around behind them aimlessly. Every 15 minutes one of the players at the back remembers they’re meant to be playing a ball game and stops ignoring the ball and tries to score a goal by throwing it into the opposing net. The members of the opposing team who are not too busy fighting try to stop him by punching and elbowing him.
