Bob Whittaker offered the Venetian Gondalier a "bout of love". I suspect it was more intended to call his opponent homosexual than himself.
The oft-repeated line when a fighter goes on the road to another fighter’s hometown or home country: “If you knock him out they’ll give you a draw.”
The “unwritten” rule to me was always “Go out on your shield. Never quit.” I hope it’s fallen off to the wayside as fighters have gotten smarter but it’s still there a lot of times and unspoken.
I understand the part about your dead body being carried home on your shield but you forgot the part about: "with my sword on my chest." But,.. it's all Greek to me!!!
Up and coming fighter shoudl be given the benefit of the doubt over the old vet. Rise at 8 if you've been knocked down. A round with a knockdown is always scored 10-8 even if the rules do not say that.
