    Some I'd happily never hear or read again.

    1) All the smoke
    2) Feather fisted
    3) Ducking
    4) Two-time
    5) ATG
    6) O
    7) Anything Tony Bellew says, particularly if it concerns social issues.

    Saying that a fighter is "downloading data" as a way to justify them losing a round is a new one that would be better off in the bin

    - styles make fights

    - "it's what you like" when talking about who's won a round/fight

    Bellew was on IFL yesterday saying the only reason Canelo got beat is because he had an off night and was clearly carrying an injury and that the Kovalev who Canelo fought was much more dangerous than Bivol :lol: absolute parody of himself.

    "Resume" - what is this Yankee Doodle Dandee nonsense.. Whatever happened to CV?

    "British stoppage" Because it's actually true.

    "Pound for pound" **** off with this already

    "Championship rounds" Whatever that means

    This one always cracks me up. Saying it automatically makes it sound like you know your boxing, but without context or follow-up it means absolutely nothing.

    Got to add ‘stacked undercard’. Which basically just means about a million really boring fights you have to sit through before the main event and is no indication of quality.

    Championship rounds is just a fancy way of saying rounds 11 and 12 as championship fights are 12 rounds long.
