For most high school students, there are only a select few places that fights can take place without the immediate threat of an authority figure rushing in to stop things prematurely; one of those places is the locker room, while the other is in the bathroom. Both places prevent a few logistical and architectural issues and neither is safe or convenient but when you are enraged enough to engage in a physical altercation the venue is usually the last of your worries.
In the locker room, there is obviously more space, however; you are dealing with benches that are normally bolted to the floor in front of the lockers and if you dare to engage in a bout of fisticuffs in the shower, well, there is a whole other issue there: the tile floor. The shower floor is never dry and thus always slippery and one better hope that their immune system is in top-notch shape should they end up on the shower floor. The other option is the restroom.
The restroom is convenient, usually clean, and in a confined enough space to keep someone from running but not confined enough to hinder one’s ability to fight making it a logical choice. In the video below, we see a fight between a wrestler and a much smaller gentleman who appears to have some boxing training.
Warning: The video below ends in a violent and vicious manner!

The setting plays to the wrestler’s strength as he ideally wants to close the distance to negate the boxer’s range, however; this is not always possible and if the boxer is to find his range then it could be a long afternoon for the wrestler.
