NEW GAME! Boxing Kangaroo 13/07 Deadline 2:15pm

by paperbag_puncher Thu Jul 05, 2012 10:20 am

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

NOTE THIS IS KANGAROO. In kangaroo answers must be incorrect. Incorrect answers score the same as in sheep, while correct answers score 0. Highest score wins. Again I have recycled some questions as there is a different dynamic to this game again

THIS GAME IS JUST FOR FUN.

Name a boxer who fought and lost to Ricky hatton
Name a current British boxer who holds a World Title
Name and English boxer who was born in London
Name a British boxer who has never been KO'd
Name a British HW who is fighting at Upton Park this weekend
Name a character from the Simpsons whos surname is Simpson
Name a British actor who hasn't won an Oscar
Name an English city
Name a country that uses the Euro
Name a football team that retained its premier league status in the 20011/2012 season

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 2:15Pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most popular answer

rules:

game 1:

game 2:

Yep I changed, actually went backwards, thought of a very famous boxer from that contingent then thought of his country. Forgot about martinez, but even still whenever I think argentina I think monzon

by **Union Cane** Thu Jul 05, 2012 2:38 pm

Tyson's from Catskill not New York...

went (honestly) with Argentina and initially then put down Monzon as he's always the first Argie boxer I think of, however I had second thoughts as guessed Martinez would be more popular on here.

Well to be honest I said the boxers had to be from the same country/city just so that everyone would do their best to do this. In truth I don't have time to check.
I think most of the answers were accurate and its not like il giallublo benefited too much from it. If it was reverse sheep I would check every answer individually.

Indeed. Grand Rapids it is and not Philly!

Good job I'm terrible at this and didn't win then. Very Happy

Cheers yet again paperbag and congratulations to SoF.

Catskill is part of new york, anyway it doesn't matter

by jammin Thu Jul 05, 2012 2:46 pm

Cheers PP! Great job....

Thought I'd have a third title.....wasn't to be. I'll have a chat with my trainer and family and go back to the drawing board, see where we went wrong.

by **Union Cane** Thu Jul 05, 2012 2:46 pm

Born in Brooklyn, boxed out of Catskill, which is what we wanted wasn't it?

If it was where they were born I'd have said London and Calzaghe.

Anyway, 'tis irrelevant, great work again p-bag and congratulations SOF.

PF4EC wrote:Catskill is part of new york, anyway it doesn't matter

It's a town in New York State, not New York City.

As you say though, it doesn't matter.

Must dig out that Statler Brothers LP...
