Although the sport still enjoys a relatively large following today, the huge popularity that Boxing had over a century ago is obvious when you look at the impact that the sport has had on the English language. In fact, there are plenty of common boxing terms and situations that you use in a figurative sense every day without even knowing it.
Examples:
Blow-By-Blow account - means a description or a account that provides much detail
On The Ropes - means in a desperate situation or near defeat
Out For The Count - means defeated, unconscious
Saved By The Bell - means rescued from a bad situation at the last minute
Roll With The Punches - to adapt to difficult circumtances
