Can someone define the phrase "Gave him a Boxing lesson?"

[Boxfan83]

Seems like this phrase is thrown around loosely mostly when one fighter failed to entertain. When I first think of the phrase, I think of a boxer basically pitching a 12rd UD shutout but I hear this phrase used when a boxer wins a lackluster 7-5, 8-4, 9-3 UD. Also if one boxer KO/TKO's their opponent at anytime of the match, even if they're down on the cards, wouldnt that be considered, "Giving them a Boxing lesson" as well? KO's/TKO's are a HUGE part of the sport so Id think so. But what are your thoughts?

Figured him out, outsmarted him and made him look bad.

Throughout an entire fight or a majority of it?

Making someone look amateurish, doesn't need to be a demolition. For example, Rigondeaux gave Donaire a boxing lesson.

Yep. You can win rounds, but if you end up looking silly more often than not, you've been given a boxing lesson. That's what happened on May 2.

Rigondeaux vs Teon Kennedy was perfection. Made him look amateurish and as a total demolition.

Outboxing someone, shutting down their offense and pretty much completely schooling them making them look like a c level fighter.

Mayweather canelo was a boxing lesson.
