What a line. I'm in love with the comparison between his uphill struggle to fend off the dark cloud of this relationship he sings about and that of an almost defeated boxer (to me at least). The brilliant moment when he almost makes the miraculous comeback in the ring, but as the song goes on, you find he never achieved it and ends defeated.
