[edit] Gloves

Someone should look up references to ice hockey for the phrases "the gloves are off / taking the gloves off" due to hockey players' tendency to remove their gloves prior to a fight. I have no cited reference to this, which is why I'm putting it here for someone much smarter to investigate. Thanks! Randrewd 16:58, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

All the references I can find indicate it comes from boxing. See the article. --[[User:SigPig|<span style="color:white; background-color:

[edit] Weigh in

Could someone please add "to weigh in on something"? I think it's from boxing but I'm not competent. Thanks. Maikel (talk) 23:36, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
