Some observations.
In Delion Pagwndas lead the thebans 25 deep and charged the least reliable left Athenian flank. (Reliable men were usually on the right)
The other Beotians - traditionally formed - suffered the attcka of the relialbe Athenina right wing which might have included the lite logadae.
Pagwndas crushed all infrond of him and the turned to aid the other Beotians.

At Lefctra except the gradual development of the "push & shove" at the very begining the Spartans were slightly better positioned trying to overlap the Theban flank. That gave them "breathing space" initially - but not for long.

The point of "prize-fighters" is interesting. Some of our guys who do wrestling believe that it gives them edge in othismos.
Needs more testing if we are to draw conclusions.

Kind regards
