This case also is a good example of both acts being physical. That's completely irrelevant also though. By rule, the instigating act doesn't have to involve contact. The only requirement is that it is has to be unsporting in nature and lead to retaliation by fighting. By rule also, both the instigation and the retaliation needn't be physical either. It can involve, as per 4-18-1, "an attempt to punch, strike or kick an opponent with a fist, hands, arms, legs or feet regardless of whether contact is made."
Classic fight under R4-18 imo. As I said, we disagree.

Agreed.
Like my friend Paul Chapman says, "A million chinese won't give a $4!t tomorrow."
