'Nobbins'
Classic British fight-game argot; means coins thrown into the ring by appreciative boxing fans who've seen a great fight (usually buried deep inside the undercard) between a couple of unfancied sluggers and want to see both men getting an extra tip for their bumps, blood and courage.
'Endswell'
A tiny iron (always kept cold) used by professional cutsmen to reduce and literally iron away swelling around the eyes, cheek bones etc. Kept on ice cold by being placed in a bucket near ringside, it is a proper 'old school' tool.
'The Family Jewels'
Polite, creative expression for a boxer's genitals. Often used by Brit commentators when describing an illegal, painful low-blow. "That one has landed very low, right on the Family Jewels, and we'll be having a time-out whilst the fighter recovers."
"Like I said before"
"The thing you have to realize is this"
"The sport of boxing"
"X have tried, X have failed"
"There is no blueprint"
Imagine if you went to speak to a girl and before you had the chance to offer to buy her a drink she just replied, "Tonight 12 have tried and 12 have failed, there is no blueprint."

Mushadshdeen has about 20 different names for Martinez. I just call him his name. Same thing for his opponents; it's a fact that they're either part-time janitors, or Eastern-European goatfarmers.
Haha Eastern-European goatfarmers. I got half of it right. :rofl:
