I recall reading or watching a program quite a few years back when Roman boxing was discussed. One thing that stuck in my head was an anecdote about one boxer who was supposed to have beaten to death approximately 80 opponents before succumbing himself.
Does anyone have any information on this individual and or the "sport" as it was practiced? I also recall a statement that the boxers were shackled to posts facing each other and may have only used one fist. Can anyone shed any light?
I appreciate any information.
Cheers,
Pict.
