The three most overused boxing expressions on here...

[Guest]

1. "He got exposed". The concept of a boxer getting 'exposed' is a lot rarer than you would imagine. It implies that they can't operate at a top level, or that they're hiding a fundamental weakness (ie. Wlad's chin) that became uncovered. Often when people say 'exposed' they really mean 'he got beat in a fight'. It's possible to lose a fight without being 'exposed'.

2. "He got owned". Rendered almost bland by repetition nowadays, this tired old phrase gets trotted out every time someone takes so much as a jab.

3. "I give [insert name of boxer, preferably one it's fashionable to like] props." Well, it sounds cool, doesn't it?

The most overused phrase is:

"Boxer A defeated a game but overmatched Boxer B". That basically means "you did try, but you do suck"

If you ever listen to a fight where Jim Watt or Barry McGuigan are commentating their commentary goes along the lines of:

"he's not getting his shots off fast enough" and repeat, ad infinitum....

Lol

That's true.

What about Ritchie Woodhall - "that's an absolute peach of a punch, it really is."

Now that IS true.

Oh, and as for the gay thing (I'm going to have to do a LOT of explaining until March 20th, aren't I?) I lost a bet. Not only did I have to give away every single one of my points, I have to wear this for a month!!!
