Boxing Phrases to Avoid

Or referring to people as ‘champ’ even when they’re not.

 

Do you know what’s really irritating me at the moment? The phrase’mic drop’

 

'The Future Of Boxing' is such a cringe title that IFL TV and channels like that use for prospects, and 9 times out of 10 they never go on to do anything

 

Brutally honest
To be fair
At the end of the day
When all's said and done
It is what it is

 

You’re right chrisfinch, it is something that I do a lot.

I do it a lot less now in the pros, like you suggest, only when the fight has been a bit special, however I work a lot of amateur shows, always have done, I do it there for most of the bouts and will continue to do so. There are no journeymen in the amateurs & nobody’s getting a purse so the least they deserve is a round of applause.

 

Chris? Why dont you **** off

 

Starting a sentence with "listen"

 

And following up immediately with "it's one of them?"

 

'Someone's 0 has got to go'........not if it's a draw it hasn't !

 

Or when Adam Smith says someone is "such a nice guy outside of the ring / a quiet family man" when they're well known to be anything but that

 

Continually asking "do you understand?" at the end of sentences. Eddie Hearn, Joe Gallagher and Dom Ingle to name a few all do it, I find that quite irritating.

 

Fair play Craig. It was probably harsh to use you as a specific example because plenty do it, I just think it devalues the ‘moment’ a bit when it happens too often.

 

Especially when it's something quite simple that of course we understand or when they're giving an opinion and talking like it's fact and not up for debate.

 

styles make fights
it's gonna be great fight
a good big un will....
