I find this hilarious. :D Allow me to attempt an explanation.
The Kobolds are a wrestling people. They have small hands, so they aren't much into punching. However, their wrestling leagues involve an intricate system of handicapping in which the more advanced wrestlers are required to wear gloves to give them a disadvantage. If they reach a high enough level, Kobold Wrestlers may even be required to wear gloves on their feet.
Anything goes in the Kobold matches, but they have never heard of "boxing". Spectators have also found that when the wrestlers wear gloves, the fights tend to go on longer.
The joys of working with a team from all over the world! :D Methinks this may be the next Lord Anus. Inside joke to bring annoyance and delight to all players. But I'm not budging on the name Kobold Wrestler. lol
Even with all that .... Wrestlers still don't punch/spar or go for a knock out / boxers do :P
I do appreciate you taking the time to comment and the added lore was nice to read as well. I still think it being a boxer is more suited to its abilities and even the card look itself.
lol, the knockout ability was new information to me with this post. A name change may be in order after all; thanks for your thoughts!
