If you saw pugilistic and thought sweet a fist fighting boxing style of story you will be disappointed. A pugilist is a fist fighting boxing style for which the title misleads. (I didn't know it was boxing specific but I knew it had involved fist fighting) The main character uses a sword. This is my first of 2 gripes. The second is that it the writing seems to almost rely on the fact that people have some prior knowledge of the setting. I've haven't struggled to follow along though so it isn't story breaking The story is otherwise fairly interesting with a great translation.
