well I googled the expression, this is what I got Hail Mary pass - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
I don't watch American football, husband does but I don't and expressions from American football rarely get used in the UK so it wouldn't be on television programmes that I watch.
Fair enough.
So I will use an expression you have heard. They are OVER THE TOP.Fair enough.
Er ........over the top or OTT means someone has gone a bit overboard or a little too far when they done something ie Lady Gaga is over the top, I can't equate OTT with anything to do with fighting.
People go to far when fighting all the time, Tez3. That is why they go to prison and stuff. Catsup! LOL

I always thought Hail Mary was a reference to the NFL football pass by roger staubach and the Dallas Cowboys.

Never heard of him. The 'true' meaning of going over the top comes from the First World War when the soldiers had to leave their trenches and go over the top of them to fight, usually they went straight into machine gun fire and were cut down. The war started 100 years ago last year and went on for four bloody years. 16 million died, 20 million were injured, hundreds of thousands would die in a couple of hours after going over the top.
That, my friend, is not what it means at all.

Okay. Haven't heard that before. It's always been a football reference for me.

A "Hail Mary" is a desperation play. It's often used in American football.
There's, say, 4 seconds left in the game. If the team with the ball scores, they win. If not, they lose. They're, say, 70 yards from scoring.
The quarterback flings the ball as far as he can and hopes that it's caught. "Hail Mary Full Of Grace, Let Him Catch This Pass!"
And I agree, there's nothing empowering about a BOB. I like mine, but they're just a heavy bag. With anatomical landmarks for targeting.

You had to add "Going".
Fun but not the least bit empowering. LOL I can Live with that. Kind of a drag, you might say, then?
