On here, "X's stock has risen". You know how when a 10 year old learns a big word and they don't stop using it?
Tyson and Big John love a cliche "real fighting men" "any man born from his mother" "Man and boy" "people who know boxing" "It is what it is" "you can take a horse to water but you cant make it drink"
For listeners of toe2toe, theres the Spencer Fearon bingo card of overused cliches as well as spencer only special lines. Spencer cliche list: I'm being real styles make fights It's a liberty! He's my boy Visualise to materialise Katie taylor is the female lomachenko Julian jackson could knock you out with the wind of his punches Manny steward once told me linares reminded him of sugar ray robinson, I said you're crazy, but then when I started watching linares more, he does do things that are reminiscent of sugar ray robinson (heard this one about 8 times this year)
Precisely, someone gets caught flush with a big shot they didn't see coming... They go down and automatically they have a 'glass jaw.'
Every time Adam Smith speaks on Sky Boxing it absolutely does my head in. I freaking hate his stupid loud voice. He needs a glass of water and some sort of sedatives. Furthermore, the commentator who says "as if to say" about every single thing a boxer does... For example; 'Anthony Joshua just landed a quick one-two as if to say I'm gonna knock you out now'.
I've also come to hate "It could of gone either way" when a competitive but clear fight goes the wrong way.
Oh and if you're one of the mongs claiming "Fighter X doesn't want that smoke" then take a long walk off of a short pier.
