    Obvious one, "lacing" an opponent.
    Because for many years now the laces are taped off, so it isn't possible anymore.

    mmm... not much input here, maybe it's because you have to be somewhat older to come up with them :think

    Good point, R. (very diplomatically put about being "somewhat" older) Realized it too late. That's why I've posted this thread in the classic section.

    That "somewhat" was more toward myself... Still in some state of denial :!:

    You certainly don't hear a lot about my name much anymore. Ever since this draining thing, I feel like I'm becoming less relevant as a person, somehow. I wish they'd just eat their cauliflower like men, like in the old days. :twisted:

    Boning someone's limb? Why have I never heard of that?

    "***** street" is not politically correct in this Pussified society.

    No idea about what goes on in arenas, but in terms of words or phrases related to boxing:

    I don't hear 'cutie' much. Same goes for 'Sunday Punch', although I'm not sure how many people used that phrase.

    No more Rosin boxes.

    Back in the old days, we'd scuff up the soles of our shoes before a bout.
