介绍（中）	一个男人的头部和肩膀在这里重复六次，在拳击比赛中遭受渐进性伤害。在右上角，受试者英俊，肌肉发达，毫发无损，但最终在左下角流血和失去知觉。罗兰森在下边距中的奉献精神将图像与第八代汉密尔顿公爵道格拉斯·汉密尔顿联系起来，道格拉斯·汉密尔顿是一位苏格兰同龄人，十几岁时继承了他的头衔。欧洲教育之旅并没有抑制冲动的天性，回到英国后不久，这位二十一岁的公爵违背了母亲的意愿结婚——婚姻因多次不忠而受到破坏，并以离婚告终。安德鲁·斯特普托（Andrew Steptoe）指出，公爵被认为是"他那个时代最英俊的男人之一......[但]逐渐让位于消散。他喜欢拳击和低级陪伴。罗兰森的形象用拳击来隐喻公爵累积的自我强加的困难。可悲的是，在这幅印刷品出版七年后，他去世了，享年四十三岁。
介绍（英）	A man's head and shoulders are repeated here six times, suffering progressive injuries during a boxing match. At upper right the subject is handsome, muscular and unscathed, but ends up bleeding and unconscious at lower left. Rowlandson's dedication in the lower margin connects the image to Douglas Hamilton, 8th Duke of Hamilton, a Scottish peer who inherited his title as a teenager. An extended European educational tour of Europe did little to suppress an impulsive nature and, soon after returning to England, the twenty-one year old duke married against his mother's wishes–the union was marred by multiple infidelities and ended in divorce. Andrew Steptoe notes that the duke was considered "one of the handsomest men of his day...[but] gradually gave way to dissipation. He was fond of boxing and low company." Rowlandson's image uses boxing metaphorically to suggest the duke's cumulative self-imposed difficulties. Sadly, seven years after this print was published, he died at age forty-three.
