Possibly. I know Holmes was supposed to be an expert practitioner in Single-Stick, which was a fancy way of beating someone with your walking cane, but I'm not sure if he was a brawler in the original stories.

In Elementary they also reference Holmes practising single stick, and show him brutalizing people with a collapsible baton every now and then.

The Guy Ritchie version was also the source of one of my favourite edits:

One of the RDJ Sherlock movies. He's like also a master pugilist in those movies

Watson says Holmes is an "expert" boxer in one of the original stories, too.

Singlestick is basically sword fighting with sticks, intended to train the use of the backsword (sabres and so on). When played as a sport, bouts were decided by a 'broken head' - that is, hitting your opponent's head so hard they bleed.

Why would they bother murdering him with his very specific kink that you wouldn't even be sure would kill him? You'd just hang him and call it a day if you wanted it to look like suicide.

Yeah I can see it, it's the end of the issue or the page number right? And the modified text is making a joke out of it.

Unless I'm missing the joke completely and it's something else.

I think its actually the bit where he explains he would've caught the bullet if someone hadn't stopped his false flag assassination.
