On the ropes
Throw in the towel
Up to the mark

The old one-two
Roll with the punches

There are many more , I'm sure.

'fornicating hell'

That was quite popular when Buster Douglas beat Mike Tyson and is a every day saying in our house along with 'What the fornicate was that' again when the fan man flew into the ring in Vegas some years ago and again in our house when I get the hoover out and my miss's quotes it. Another common one is 'Well it lasted longer than I thought' a quote commonly used when David Haye fought Audley Harrison and again its a everyday saying in my bedroom, again from my wife.

The real McCoy

The story goes that the someone was going around pretending to be the boxer Kid McCoy to get free food and drink in bars, so when this was discovered people used to introduce the actual boxer as 'the Real McCoy'

There is another story in his Wiki page, which is well worth reading, as thats one life that was well lived and also tragic.
