Favourite (or overused) boxing commentary cliche

[Ade L]

Mine has to be

"...the grizzled old journeyman fighter going about his work..."

Not saying I could do a better job at commentating BTW!

[Crease]

"This round could be anybody's"

- Well not really, either man will win it or it will be a 10-10.

[Tomasino]

"These are just arrram punches Reg"

"he needs to let his hands go"

[evrenb]

"These are just arrram punches Reg"

"he needs to let his hands go"

I bet the bell sounded like an orchestra Jim at the end of that round

Power is the last thing to go is 99.9% incorrect and women weaken legs is 100% incorrect.

...and hearts...

[APerno]

Not a favorite - in fact annoyed by it . . .'effective aggressiveness'

[Syntax Error]

"Teak tough"!

[ewenhay]

"It's what you like" in reference to scoring fights

[Bodyshot3]

Used to love... "good learning fight."

Typical use.... a British prospect smacking some Argentine/Mexican/Italian hard nut full in the face for ten rounds but unable to stop them.

[Boxerbeetle]

'Reyes gloves are punchers gloves'

[Noxy]

"Teak tough"!

[SenorPipino]

"He's got a punchers' chance," (Which usually means he has no chance at all.)

"He didn't come here to be just an opponent," (Translation: the "opponent" actually threw one or two half-hearted punches.)

[ElJefe]

"He didn't come here to be just an opponent," (Translation: the "opponent" actually threw one or two half-hearted punches.)

Usually said with an easily detectable tone of genuine surprise coming out of Nick Halling's mouth!
