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.

"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.)
