Get up off of the canvas more likely.

 

Does he do boxing?  Or thinks he does?

It's more of an Americanism. It's used a lot in Rocky, which might have something to do with Conor using it...

Ah, OK.  I suppose the benefit of the doubt hangs 50-50 depending on which side of the ropes you're from.  Rocky or the real world

Just to be clear here: either he was making a racial comment, or else he was threatening to hit a woman to the floor, and then insist she gets up so he can hit her again. Either way, it's not good, is it?

Agreed, Eugene and i wasn't trying to shoot the messenger here 

His 'americanism' may well be misconstrued, so more fool him for thinking he sounds 'ard and from the Kronk Gym.  It's about time that whole episode came back to bite him on the arse.
