Two boxers are in a boxing match (regular boxing, not kick boxing). The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds but ends after 6 rounds, afterone boxer knocks out the other boxer. Yet no man throws a punch.
How is this possible?

Punch is a kind of pastry. Throwing pastry would be unbecoming of a boxer during a perfectly normal boxingatch.

Or, to put it another way, because neither boxer is a man.

(Who is --------------------------? I don't think it's one of us contestants, so can I please have "his" 1 point? (I desperately keep trying (the wrong way), don't I? (Could I have 0,01 point for that?)))

The two boxers are pacifists, and agree not to punch each other. Unfortunately, after 6 rounds one boxer accidentally trips the other one up, who falls out of the ring, lands head first on the floor and is knocked out.
How's that?

I did not know punch was a kind of pastry. I thought it was a kind of alcoholic beverage.
I believe the boxers *drank* the punch, until one passed out. The one who passed out was a man, and the one who drank him under the table was a woman, much to his chagrin. After the match, he was referred to as "Lily Liver Malloy" for the rest of his life.

OR it could be a dog fight with two "boxers". A boxer is a type of dog, after all.

Thanks Greebo, although kangaroos was just as good. The point is, they were not men.
