  "story": "The English article calls the elbow \"the most dangerous form of attack in the sport\". The reason is not power — a knee carries more of it — it is the edge. An elbow opens the skin over the eyebrow, the eyebrow bleeds into the eye, the doctor looks at it, and the fight is over with both men still standing.\n\nSo the elbow is the weapon that beats the referee's arithmetic. You do not have to out-score anyone. You have to land once.\n\nTwo consequences for a spectator. A corner that is behind on points starts throwing elbows in the fourth, which is why the fourth is the round to watch. And elbows are why the clinch is not the rest it looks like: the two men with their heads together are each waiting for the other to loosen a hand."
