    In boxing, overused words and phrases:

    Knockout punch (no such thing)
    At the end of the day
    Like I said before
    "Bueno que" at the start of every sentence of every spanish-speaking fighter in every interview.

    On boxing forums:
    Mostly the fake thug talk, such as:
    "best (or whatever) in the game" Boxing is a sport, not a game.
    Real talk.
    Grown ass man.
    Knocked the **** out. (Nobody legit or with any credibility would ever use the phrase KTFO. Ever.)
    Etc. etc.

    I have dozens of these, but it's tough to conjure them all up on the spot. Let me think a bit more.

        Every decent fighter that had a bad night is past prime.

          Overrated/underrated

          Depending on who you aks, every boxer is either overrated/underrated.

            Good ones already posted but "WARRIOR" gets annoying.

                Yeah, it's definitely overused. As soon as the "hype-job" loses, he becomes an "exposed" "bum" lol. All these words coincide with eachother.

                They might as well be in the dictionary as many times as they're dropped around here.
                Lmao!! Agreed!

                I made a thread about that not too long ago. Shot is definitely an overused and misunderstood word!

                      I agree with this so much. Underrated/overrated is subjective as ****!

                      Yeah, I can see why that could get annoying. I have used that word in the past, but in reality, any man that has the balls to step in the squared circle is a warrior.
