12	->''"A man boxing a kangaroo is a peculiar spectacle, but a kangaroo boxing a robot? Now I'm afraid you've lost me."''

14
15	ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin, and TruthInTelevision. Y'see, [[OlderThanRadio during the 1800s]] (and even into the early 1900s), "boxing matches" that pitted a man against a kangaroo were part of traveling shows in Australia, the Western United States, and sometimes elsewhere. Men were challenged to defeat... or sometimes just last a single round against... a tame kangaroo. Usually, the men [[CurbStompBattle got their asses handed to them]]. Every once in a while, someone will revive the idea. Never mind the fact that a fully grown kangaroo can ''disembowel'' and kill their opponent with a single kick. Up for a fight, Skippy?
16
17	In media, kangaroos are often portrayed as either literally wearing boxing gloves, or else as capable of boxing moves. The origins of this image lay in the fact that, when defending itself, a kangaroo uses its upper legs (the ones usually thought of as "arms") ''first'', to hold an opponent in place, while it rakes its opponent with its lower legs, thus giving the animal, for a short while, anyway, the appearance of "boxing". Not only that, but the 'arms' of an alpha male kangaroo are both humanlike and [[https://www.npr.org/2018/12/10/675282745/roger-the-buff-kangaroo-beloved-online-dies-at-age-12 alarmingly muscular]], meaning that they're one of the few animals that ''looks'' like they could take apart a human being in a boxing match.
18
19	Often PlayedForLaughs, despite the brutal ass-kicking the humans usually receive. Or because of it, if it's someone whose role is to be laughed at for their suffering, like the ButtMonkey.
20
21	A variant is to depict Kangaroos as ''Kick''boxers, which is much closer to their real-life behavior.
