    Good call.

    'Dynamite in both hands' for a guy who can punch a bit with one hand and ok with the other annoys me.

    Sure it’s true but there’s a load of “going to the body”type sayings often referring to putting money in the bank,paying dividends and knocking the wind out of his sails.

    Pretty sure there’s more of these n all.

    " So and so is a bum or a coward!" I hate the term "bum" and no boxer is a coward. I think it's disrespectful, especially coming from so-called fans of the sport that have never laced up a pair of gloves.
