Isn't This Too Perfect?

Boxing was an athletic sport as well as an art form. It required powerful muscle strength, strong psychological warfare, and strenuous physical activity. 

A standard boxing match required 5 rounds; each round lasting 2 minutes, until one of the competitors got knocked out for 10 seconds. The one left standing was the winner.

Mason wasn't in the mood to endure multiple rounds with Alan. So, the two men agreed to just one round.

While Mason was still in the change room, Alan swiftly wrapped his hands in bandages and put on his boxing gloves. In order to prove that a match was of a high caliber, professional boxers usually didn't wear helmets nor armor. So, Alan also didn't put any on. He simply appeared in front of everyone wearing a pair of shorts and soft-soled shoes.
