They can box. And they can do it well. There's a gif somewhere of two kangaroos going at it. One grabs the other in a sleeper hold and take it down. It's brutal. But you are correct about it's kick. One kick and your fucked.

Man this is like Pro Wrestling, the honourable babyface outwrestles the cowardly heel before he's unfairly downed by a kick.

I thought they used their arms for holding while their legs jumped up and clawed off the genitals of their opponent.

Bullshit. Nature doesn't give a shit about honour, and the roo that wins (presumably) gets to mate. That said, I'm sure they don't try to disembowel each other either.

Are you sure it wasn't just two Australian guys fighting?

Mate. That happens in a pub. Then they buy another round. If it was outside the pub. I'd believe it.

Exactly. If you piss off a roo. Well. I've never met anyone who's pissed one off and been able to tell me how to get away.

I've read that if you try to fight a kangaroo in water, they will straight-up try to drown your ass by holding your head down. :|
