Spanish translation:agarrones/se llegó a las manos
Explanation:
Antes de una pelea, literalmente "eu puxo e vôce puxa". Son los agarrones. Imagina dos personas que han estado discutiendo/insultándose y empiezan a pelearse. Se agarran de la camisa y alguien intenta separarlos.

a ver quién puede más


Explanation:
O algo parecido. No se me ocurre un equivalente tal cual, quizás habría que reformular la frase. Según el contexto que nos das, se están peleando por coger una caja, así que entiendo que cada uno tira hacia su lado para quedarse con ella.
