Championship match for the local area -- it also looks as if the one on the left is about to receive a kick to a sensitive area.

Nice .. coupla youngsters havin' at it.

It's more of a grappling match than a boxing match .. the typical method 'roos fight with is to grapple with their forelegs, then try to rake the belly of their opponent with those backlogs - hence they sit back with the weight on their tail … they can tighten the muscles in their stomach in such a way that they don't do the same kind of damage to one another that they would to another animal. They'll disembowel a dog like this when attacked.

Cheers
