brawling

Can I say,

Two boys are brawling now.

The two judges are brawling (to) each other now.

Hello Vincent, The first sentence is fine; though I doubt whether you would ever see or hear it. The two judges would be brawling with each other or having a brawl ("each other" is then implicit). Best wishes, MrP
