:*[[File:Symbol question.svg|16px]] It seemed to me that the ALT1 hook was misleading: does "spar in the ring", the phrase used in the source, actually equal a match?

Article is new enough and long enough. ALT1 hook is sourced while the original one is not quite accurate - it was the first such event broadcast on TV in Great Britain. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 18:04, 25 November 2012 (UTC)
