Explanation:

Fight is a contest or struggle in which two or more persons participate. It means and implies actual exchange of blows between two or more persons, each of whom is trying to obtain mastery over the other.

But the difficulty arises because the courts are not unanimous about the definition of the term and have construed the word fight very divergently in various cases. In some cases the courts in absence of an actual fight refused to hold the public disturbance as an affray. In another case while upholding actual exchange of blows necessary for a fight, the court considered it sufficient that blows were aimed regardless of whether proved that successful contact was made or otherwise.

In yet another case wherein one party attacked and the other simply defended and still another wherein one party attacked and the other tried only to escape, the courts refused to constitute the attack as a fight.
