David vs Goliath
I don't think Boyle is known to have a mean streak (?) but that would have been great to witness. Did it sound like any good blows were landed?
You'd have to give the reach advantage to Boyle but the toughness (and center of gravity) to Lappy.
It wasn't much of a fight. A lot of hugging. Boyle isn't much of a fighter. I'm kind of surprised that Lappy went after him. Lappy was yacking at Ivanans later in the game and think he was trying to get something started but it never materialized.
