Boxing talk explained for Beginners !!

First topic message reminder :

Never easy for a kid to grasp what the Commentators are saying ......So rather than them get disenchanted and follow Synchronised swimming instead.....Here is a general guide to what Commentators mean when they use certain Boxing jingo...

"Honest Workman" - Perennial loser that gets slapped around a lot..But the Commentator likes him anyway..

"He did land a few shots in that round though Jim" - Generally means biased Commentator is making a case for the home fighter to be gifted a round.

"He's spoiling a lot" - Means that the away fighter by not going down easy is irritating the Commentator....

"He got some good rounds under his belt" - Means the home fighter is too useless to stop a guy he should be banging out....

"He wants to win this belt for his dead Mum" - Means the Commentator wants this guy to win......

"But so and so is a great referee" - Means he knows the ref screwed up but because the home fighter won let's forget about it!!"

Hope this helps any newbies..
