I thought I knew the answer to #1, but it turns out I didn't, so I had to dig around.

The earliest fight that I've found, that fits the description, happened in 1966. That's far too late......isn't it?

Nobody fishes for clues like me. Sadly, I'm going to have to give up though. This one's just too tough.
