boxing cliches....... our own little language.

[jamesmcdonnell]

"teak tough" never fails to get my goat !

That was my pick too - can nobody ever vary this one - 'titanium tough' for instance.

[jamesmcdonnell]

My personal favourite, though it pertains to only one commentator is ........

'He needs to put some devil in his wooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk' by the peerless Jim Watt.

[chinny]

"He's gone" (where?)

"Can he survive the round" (always seems a very innapropriate metaphor to me)

[TheGoods]

"Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm punches". Jim Watt again.

[Re-up Gang]

"You'd have to knock him out twice to get a draw."

lmao
confuse the non boxing fans

[Re-up Gang]

"Aaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrmmmmmmmm punches". Jim Watt again.

This thread is too funny

Another Teddy Atlas one I like.

"That jab talks a few different laguages."

[rhino222]

"Hit him in the pancreas"

[Mick the Mechanic]
