Put up some opposition for an exhibition bout (4,5)

I believe the answer is:

show fight

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put up some opposition' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.

'an exhibition bout' is the wordplay.
'an exhibition' becomes 'show' (I've seen this in other clues).
'bout' becomes 'fight' (synonyms).
'show'+'fight'='SHOW FIGHT'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
