Male kangaroos fight for dominance in their mob. There can be only one dominant male in each mob, and only this dominant male may mate with the females in the mob. Younger males will challenge the older 'alpha' male for his position, and the loser must leave the mob. Following this, he must either form his own mob or become the new dominant male in another mob.
A male kangaroo kicks another male kangaroo's abdomen when the two are fighting. They are fighting to determine their rankings. A higher ranking means a better chance of mating with more females.

No. Kangaroos engage in "boxing" as a territorial behaviour, and a way to establish the dominant male in a mob, but there is little value in them punching for protection as their short forelegs are not particularly strong. They will use their tails to balance, and deliver a powerful kick with their hind legs. Kangaroos tend to rely on their speed and endurance to escape from predators.
Some do try although they only have a 1% chance of surviving due to the ferocity of force in one kick of a kangaroos foot.
Yes. When kangaroos fight among each other, males may be seen to punch or box and kick each other.

Kangaroos are known to rear up on their tails and use their hind legs to kick. Their hind legs are very powerful and can cause severe damage to a human or animal.
Not at all. Red kangaroos balance back on their strong tail, and use their powerful hind legs, which have sharp claws on them, to kick when then they fight. Human have neither a tail, nor sharp claws on powerful hind legs.
Kangaroos are born as kangaroos.
