* Famously used by boxer Muhammad Ali in his "[[wikipedia:Rope-a-dope|Rope-a-dope]]'' strategy against George Foreman during the 1974 "Rumble in the Jungle" match. He lay against the ring's ropes in a protective stance and let Foreman wear himself out hitting him, with the ropes absorbing most of the impact. Once Foreman grew tired Ali started counter attacking and beat him.

* "[http://www.wysotsky.com/1033.htm?512 The Sentimental Boxer]" song by [[Vladimir Vysotsky]] has the boxing version turned [[Up to Eleven]]. The protagonist is a boxer who couldn't hit anyone in the face. His opponent squeezed a knockdown early on and seems to have been under impression that the victory is close and he needs to press hard just a little more — right until collapse from overexertion.
