Boxing Sheep NEW GAME 22/06 PM me answers by 3:30pm

by paperbag_puncher Tue 12 Jun 2012 - 13:23

First topic message reminder :

Anyone ever play sheep? Basically I'll ask a series of "mainly boxing" related questions and the aim is to answer with the most popular answer. So for example if I asked name a heavyweight champion and 7 people said Ali they would get 7 points. If 5 said Louis they would get 5 points and so on. Whoever gets the most points wins. You would PM me your answers. I've seen it played on other forums and it seems to work well and passes some time.
Seems to be a bit of interest so we'll go again.

I have included the odd non boxing question to jazz it up a bit.

Name a boxer from Scandinavia
Name an active counter puncher
Name a retired counter puncher
Name a fighter who quit in a fight
Name someone who defeated Antonio Margarito
Name an attractive TV character
Name a character from the sitcom "Friends"
Name a U.S state
Name a fight where a Brit beat an American for a title
Name a 606 V2 boxing member whos name is boxing related

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 3:30pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most common answer.

Winners so far

Ernietrude x6
Mind the windows Tino x3
Union Cane
Jamesedwardcox
Jdizzle
Jammin
mobilemaster8
Valero's Conscience
Reborn-DeeMcK-Reborn
compelling and rich

Can you please PM your answers on their own in an unnumbered list. So without the questions or numbers beside them. Thanks it makes the calculating much easier [u][u]

Changed my mind. Ermietrude wins by tie break. Population of Uganda is 33,424,683.

The scoring will be perfect next time....

Aye mate, I love the lighting in that scene. Would have used Flora Lite myself but each to their own.

Brando is the GOAT. Pacino just shouts alot and De Niro screws his face up and tilts his head. I could do that.

Brando is overrated. Pacino and De Niro are like the SRL and Haglers of the acting world....

If I knew Union Cane was entering a statistics related competition, i wouldn't have bothered competing.

The man is like the Rain-man of boxing.

(meant with the utmost of respect - I'm referring to the incredible knowledge/statistical analysis you have)

Woops.. You can claim you were robbed due to corrupt/incompetent judging.. From what I can see it was just Double's scores that were wrong so result stands..

Hahaha Union was like James DeGale after Groves....... laughing

by jammin Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 11:55

Congrats.

I do however have an issue with the judging scores.... now, are they corrupt or incompetent? LOL.

Just happy I didnt come bottom!

Good game.. when is round 2?

by **Union Cane** Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 11:56

New set of questions up for anyone that wants to play. Deadline is 2ish due to lunch. Scoring will be immaculate this time Whistle

by **Union Cane** Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 12:16

Mine are in, some trickier questions there so I expect to do badly.

by Soldier_Of_Fortune Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 12:17

Done, not expecting much here Laugh

by ErmanH Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 12:35

Done, could be a Frank Bruno type first title defence for me i think.

by jammin Wed 13 Jun 2012 - 12:37

Done, indeed a tougher assignment due to the expected variance of answers. Feels like the start of the super six, could be anybodys......
