You can't roll against Combat Sport (Boxing) outside of a sporting boxing match. If you want to punch "scientifically" in real combat, you roll Boxing. If you don't know Boxing but you know Combat Sport (Boxing), there's a -4 default penalty between the two because your opponent isn't following the rules and you've only learned how to fight someone following the rules.
