Easy juicy

The name has its origins in a Test match played between the West Indies and England at Old Trafford, Manchester, in the year 1933. According to folklore,  Elliss "Puss" Achong is said to have had Walter Robbins stumped off a surprise delivery that spun into the right hander from outside the off stump. As he walked back to the pavilion, Robbins said to his teammates "Fancy being done by a bloody ________", leading to the popularity of the term in England, and subsequently, in the rest of the world.

Fight!

The ending of the ______ fight remains one of the most controversial in boxing history. Midway through the first round, Y fell to the canvas, in what many have argued was not a legitimate knockdown.The Referee appeared confused after X refused to retreat to a neutral corner. Instead, X stood over his fallen opponent, gesturing and yelling at him, "Get up and fight, sucker!"
The blow that ended the match became known as "the phantom punch," so named because most people at ringside did not see it. Even X was unsure as to whether or not the punch connected, Replays show X connecting with a quick, chopping right to Y's head as Y was moving toward him. However, whether the blow was a genuine knockout punch remains inconclusive.

What happened next?

. Long time no koschan

Abraham was ordered by God to leave his wife Hagar and his infant son Ishmael alone in the desert. While he was gone, the child became thirsty, and Hagar ran back and forth seven times between the hills of Minar and Sawahf searching for water for her son. The baby cried and hit the ground with his foot (some versions of the story say that an angel scraped his foot or the tip of his wing along the ground), and water miraculously sprang forth.

This gave rise to a custom that's observed even today.
