GORN The Bare- Knuckle Era Origins of the Ring Fistic combat goes back at least as far as ancient Greece and Rome. Pindar , in 474 BC , celebrated Diagoras ’ victory in the Greek Olympiad: “But do thou, O father Zeus, that rulest over the height of Atabyrium, grant honour to the hymn ordained in praise of an Olympian victor, and to the hero who hath found fame for his prowess as a boxer; and do though give him grace and reverence in the eyes of citizens and of strangers too. For he goeth in a straight course along a path that hateth insolence.” Worthy of Zeus’ blessing, the successful boxer was a man of moral as well as physical excel- lence.

Orbach* In April 2010, the Supreme Court handed down its decision in United States v.
