""Irish stand down" is a type of traditional bare knuckle fighting where the aspect of maneuvering around the ring is removed,
leaving only the less nuanced aspects of punching and "taking" punches.
This form of combat was popular in Irish American ghettos in the United States in the late 19th century
but was eclipsed in the Irish American community first by bare knuckle boxing and then later by regulation boxing.
The Irish stand down is also known as strap fighting or toe to toe."
