Favorite boxing euphemisms

I've always been partial to the phrase "starched". Yes, I like my carbs too but I've always thought it was a great term for knocking someone out.

 

My favourite word for getting knocked out is 'iced'.

 

"Wind-Up Merchant"...Sounds Waaaaaaaaaay More PLEASANT and SOPHISTICATED Than "Shit Talker"...REED Heard Eddie Hearn Use it, and STOLE it Accordingly...



REED

 

That's a Brit term. It's not exclusive to boxing.

 

A fighter being "shot'' does it for me, it's so unnecessarily overdramatic. It's great.

 

" looks like tarzan, fights like jane"

Bruce seldon etc

 

I know a lot of old school trainers used to refer to the jab as the "stick." I don't know if the term is still used.

 

Floored.

 

Mine as well.

 

“On Queer Street”

Or as Colonel Bob said, “Norton is in Queersville”

 

A spent bullet

 

Colonel Bob would have been arrested for saying that today.
