** The Pummel Duel isn't as fast paced, but at the same time it has as much {{punch parr|y}}ing (or more accurately shoving each others' fists out of the way and throwing out counter punches) as a usual one.

** The Pummel Duel looks more like Flash's weak but fast right hand trying to blitz its way through while Max throws equally fast parries and counters in order to get into close range.

Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': RapidFireFisticuffs vs RapidFireFisticuffs.
* '''Straight''': During a particularly vicious boxing match for the World Heavyweight Title, [[BarbaricBully Flash]] "[[TheDreaded Bruizer]]" [[TheBrute Young]] and [[TheJuggernaut Maximillian]] "[[RedBaron The Uncontainable Hellraiser]]" [[TheStoic Khan]] start punching each other, and quite {{rapid|firefisticuffs}}ly at that. Soon enough, it picks up speed, to the point where it's mainly {{rapid fire|fisticuffs}} {{punch parry}}ing, and with only a few punches slipping through their hits.
* '''Exaggerated''': The entire Pummel Duel is ''nothing but {{punch parr|y}}ies!''
* '''Downplayed''':
** The Pummel Duel looks more like what you'd see in a normal fight; Flash and Maximillian slug it out like a pair of drunken brutes, hurling out haymakers to try and knock each other out. There are only a few {{punch parr|y}}ies here and there, but nothing too crazy.
** Flash and Maximillian instead work each others' bodies, throwing out body hooks to try and knock the wind out of the other guy.
* '''Justified''': They're currently hopped up on adrenaline, which makes them start going for RapidFireFisticuffs, and the {{punch parry}}ing is because they're also trying to either swat away other punches intentionally or accidentally punching each others' fists. Either way, they're currently slugging it out.
* '''Inverted''': The two instead try going for a powerful, singular MegatonPunch competition; Whose fist is stronger than the other?
* '''Subverted''': It seems that the two are squaring up for a Pummel Duel, but the moment one of them tries invoking RapidFireFisticuffs, the other clocks him clean with a well placed {{counter|attack}}punch.
* '''Double Subverted''': That doesn't deter the counterpunched one to still try and keep hurling punches, even if he gets counterpunched repeatedly. At least it's starting to look like a Pummel Duel.
* '''Parodied''': The two yell out {{kiai}}s while hurling RapidFireFisticuffs, and the Pummel Duel is ''so intense'' that they start friggin' '''''LEVITATING!'''''
* '''Zig-Zagged''': It's less of a Pummel Duel and more of a fast paced in-fight; Sometimes there's a Pummel Duel, other times they're doing a BrawlerLock, and most of the time it's just the two slugging it out.
* '''Averted''': None of them even ''try'' invoking RapidFireFisticuffs.
* '''Enforced''': RuleOfCool.
* '''Lampshaded''': The CombatCommentator relishes in seeing the two bruisers slug it out.
--> '''The CombatCommentator''': Wow! It looks like these two bruisers are enforcing their will upon each other with their fists!
* '''Invoked''': Flash taunts Maximillian, telling him to BringIt:
--> '''Flash''': C'mon, Hellraiser! Let's see whose knuckles come out on top! '''''[[BringIt BRING THAT SHIT, MOTHERFUCKER!!!]]'''''
* '''Exploited''': Flash, with InvulnerableKnuckles, tries to get Maximillian to get into this so he can break the Hellraiser's fists and essentially disable any sort of offensive maneuvers.
* '''Defied''': Maximillian simply throws a MegatonPunch to deter Flash from even ''trying'' anything of the sort.
* '''Discussed''': Other characters wonder how either of them ''still'' [[InvulnerableKnuckles hasn't broken their fists]].
* '''Conversed''': AliceAndBob are wowed at the spectacle, watching from their homes.
* '''Implied''': We see Flash and Maximillian charge at each other, fists cocked for some RapidFireFisticuffs... Before it cuts away. Once we cut back to them, the other one is holding their fists in pain and defeat, while the other raises them triumphantly, though their knuckles are pretty sore and swollen.
* '''Deconstructed''': This is a pretty slow stalemate; None of them are capable of even overpowering each other. The Pummel Duel goes nowhere from here.
* '''Reconstructed''': That is, until one of them sneaks an uppercut from below to jolt up the other, turning the tides in their favor.
* '''Played for Laughs''': The two slug it out, but the Pummel Duel doesn't even last ''half a minute'' before the two separate and shake their fists in pain.
* '''Played for Drama''': God forbid one of them even slips up; That just causes the other to gain a sudden advantage and pummel them down.
* '''Played for Horror''': The two slug it out, and due to being heavyweights, both Flash and Maximillian suffer gruesome injuries.
