Added DiffLines:

'''Basic Trope''': The protagonist beats their opponent fairly after the opponent is caught cheating.
* '''Straight''': [[TheBigGuy Flash]] "[[RedBaron The Coney Island Crusher]]" [[StrongAndSkilled Young]], the international, united Heavyweight Boxing Champion of the world (as well as an octuple division champion) is up against [[BlackBoxerStereotype Tyrone]] "[[RedBaron The Slugger of the Slums]]" [[CombatPragmatist Cassius]], the latter of whom hits Flash with a series of fouls (elbow strikes, headbutts, foot stomping, etc.), and Flash manages to beat Tyrone fair and square.
* '''Exaggerated''': Tyrone [[FiveAcesCheater fouls Flash in the most blatant ways possible]]. Flash sends Tyrone [[RingOut flying out the ring]] with a [[MegatonPunch thunderous left cross]].
* '''Downplayed''':
** Tyrone gets caught cheating ''a lot'', and as such, he gets disqualified.
** Tyrone cheats here and there, but it's only bad enough that his points are taken and Flash wins by unanimous decision.
** Tyrone is caught cheating by Flash, but not the ref, and Flash is [[TurnsRed enraged enough]] that Flash [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown pretty much hospitalizes Tyrone]], [[CasualtyInTheRing if not outright kills him]].
** Tyrone had bribed the ref in order to give him long counts. [[TurnsRed Cue]] [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown the above]] [[CasualtyInTheRing scenario]].
* '''Justified''':
** Cheating is Flash's BerserkButton. Tyrone was {{too dumb to|live}} realize that slamming down hard on it is a surefire way to end up [[RingOut knocked outside the ring and within an inch of his life]].
** Cheating ''[[FiveAcesCheater right in front of the ref]]'' is enough for points to be deducted. Flash won because Tyrone broke too many rules.
* '''Inverted''': Tyrone straight up has no choice but to cheat if he wants to defeat Flash once and for all, no matter how little he wants to.
* '''Subverted''':
** It seems that Tyrone is about to get the beating of a lifetime after being caught... But apparently, Flash isn't even catching on!
** Flash decides to get even and start fouling Tyrone himself (though less of throwing elbows, knees, and stomps and more of [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown absolutely beating the stuffing out of Tyrone and refusing the referee to intervene]]).
* '''Double Subverted''':
** Flash eventually catches on. [[NoHoldsBarredBeatdown what happens next]] [[CasualtyInTheRing is not pretty]].
** Flash catches himself from cheating, and decides to just humiliate Tyrone by [[RingOut sending him out the ring]].
* '''Parodied''': The match [[ThereAreNoRules has been sanctioned by the]] [[VideoGame/PunchOut WVBA]]. Flash ''still'' beats Tyrone with basic boxing skills.
* '''Zig-Zagged''': ???
* '''Averted''': ???
* '''Enforced''': ???
* '''Lampshaded''': ???
* '''Invoked''': ???
* '''Exploited''': ???
* '''Defied''': Tyrone outright ''[[LetsFightLikeGentlemen refuses]]'' to cheat.
* '''Discussed''': ???
* '''Conversed''': ???
