The boxer fizzled out just in the sixth round
To fizzle out means to gradually end, often in a disappointing or weak way. It’s like a firework that starts with a promising spark but then fades away without much impact. For instance, if someone’s enthusiasm for a project or reform wanes after an initial burst of energy, we can say it fizzled out. "Fizzled out" can also imply a disappointing or unsatisfactory end, such as giving up or surrendering in a disappointing manner.
