NEW GAME! Boxing Sheep II 05/07 Deadline 1:30pm

First topic message reminder :

New thread as the other one is locked.

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 country in South America
Name a country in Africa
Name a European city
Name an American city
Name a boxer from the country in South America that you picked
Name a boxer from the country in Africa you picked
Name a boxer from the European city you picked
Name a boxer from the American city you picked
Name an actor with a beard
Name an actress who would look better with a beard


Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 1:30pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most common answer.

Union has been known to collude with other posters on these quiz type things. Never did manage to get over Hopkinsgate.

Cheers - think I might toast the victory with a celebratory pint at lunchtime...

thank-god for Alan and BHB's shocker on q10 there, was dreading my first game Blunkett

Oof. Two points in it. Well played quentins_monkey.

Might need an extension. Only 5 players so far. Really need at least 10 for a decent game.
