Best out of three matches. Three attempts to "floor" the other, and if they don't get up within ten seconds, then they lose the match. Fists only. Does that sound reasonable?
[He's rolling his fists, starting to lean back and forth to get in the rhythm with true boxer's expertise - and then he's jabbing a right hook straight at the man's face.]
[ Kotetsu certainly doesn't have the skills or refinement that Sholmes does, but he does, at least have some decent reflexes. It's just unfortunate that he's not graceful in any of this.
So, he mostly dodges, it still catches his cheek. The dodge is an awkward one to the side and he stumbles over his feet a little.
Sorry your sparring partner isn't an A Class boxers, but it doesn't get him down. He plants his feet to get his grounding and faces Sholmes again. This time, he's the one throwing a punch with his left hand to start. ]
[That's an alright dodge - Sholmes nods, humming under his breath as he catches the other's cheek. He's starting to get into the groove of things, but the key word is "starting". Kotetsu is already aiming a punch back, and while he lifts his arms to block the hit, its at an angle that causes him to side step from the impact.]
[Well, he won't go down with one punch. It's time for a rebuttal - he decides to go with a fakeout, acting as if he'll jab with his right hand, only to aim a strike with his left.]
[ Well, at least one of them is getting warmed up because Kotetsu really... isn't, apparently. Er, Wild Tiger. Being not only unfamiliar with Sholmes' fighting style, but also reading too much into the fake out, that left hits him square in the jaw and right down on his ass.
It leaves him reeling for a few moments as he loses a few more braincells. (He doesn't have that many to spare...)

I can punch holes in buildings. I'd be worried about accidentally doing something if we were to spar. But I've got some strength even without that.

[that sounds EXCITING]
Well, even in your depowered state, that would be fun! I'm sure you must be an experienced fighter.
no subject
I do have a pretty strong punch on me.
[ Grins a little. ]
Does the great detective want to add fighting a superhero to his accomplishments?
no subject
Perhaps. I never back down from a challenge, after all, and it could be quite fun.

It'd probably be good to set down some rules for the fight.

Bare hands or...?

Are they going to just
Brawl here?
And he puts his fists up, giving him a look. Is it now? ]
no subject
[anyways he's just barking out a laugh, raising his fists as well.]
An eager man! I see, I see! I'll be gracious and allow you to strike first, if you so choose.
no subject
No reason to hold back when we've already got the rules set, right?
[ Grin grin grin. ]
I'll let you go first. I want to see what you've got.
no subject
Oh. Very well.

[He'll go to stand by the other's side, looking down.]
Disappointing, how quickly a hero can go down. Come on, my dear fellow. I'm sure there's more to you than this.
no subject
You just caught me off guard.
[ Gets back into stance...! ]
