the ropes

But fans will say all of that is fine and dandy - what matters is what happens between the ropes.

The undefeated Whittaker makes amends for October's controversial draw, which ended in bizarre circumstances when both men fell over the ropes and Whittaker was unable to continue because of an injury.

But they launched a stunning series of counter-punches that left PSG on the ropes, and Villa just one goal away from forcing extra time.

After breaking away from celebrations with friends who had gathered on the other side of the ropes, McIlroy was heard to remark "I've got to go and get a Green Jacket".

He has won twice on the PGA Tour this year and, after years of practice, is determined to turn down the volume on the chatter outside the ropes.
