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

by paperbag_puncher Thu 05 Jul 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

Worked for me with Ali/Clay! Think I may have relied up that tactic a little too much tho.....

I realise Damaen Kelly is a dodgy one as he considers himself Irish and some of his World Titles were micky mouse ones. But he fought for a British title and I didn't define World Title so I've allowed it.

Making a late charge towards a points position here... Just hope my attempt at being smart later on doesn't bite me in the butt.

by alanqlm Tue 10 Jul 2012, 11:14 am

Not to be picky or anything but is attack on precinct 13 a real movie... Im pretty sure it was called 'assault on precinct 13' unless of course both are real.

Don't hate me Im competitive :P

Gonna have to be one hell of a charge coming from mid-table mediocrity!

by alanqlm Tue 10 Jul 2012, 11:15 am

2 Questions previous I was 3rd bottom, and if 6th place gets a point its still available.

I'm competitive too, he's right.

expected rowley to do well on this seeing though he's got loads of useless old boxing knowledge, where the fighters probably didnt even exist! Whistle

You're right its not the title of the movie but I allowed it. I know what Ghosty meant and if you read the rules I said I will try my best to give players the benefit of the doubt. I'll do the same for you some day....

I actually meant to change Ghosty's answer before I posted it so my fault really. I could have been harsh and marked it incorrect but I'm reluctant to punish what was probably a typo..

by **seanmichaels** Tue 10 Jul 2012, 11:20 am

Don't mind losing but on a non boxing question, this is a boxing forum, either stick to boxing questions or I'll delete the next thread (not that I am a bad loser.)

by TopHat24/7 Tue 10 Jul 2012, 11:27 am

that question now looks incredibly harsh as special interest/non-national shows being allowed.....

I am. Plus I'm more worried about some of Owen's answers. Maybe he does have some random knowledge about The Simpsons, obscure British champions and Welsh TV though? Anyway I'm sure hes playing on the level and I cant imagine being so sad and desperate to win this that you would cheat.....

That Amber simpson was actually in last nights episode on channel 4, dropped a bit of a shocker not getting that myself.

by paperbag_puncher Tue 10 Jul 2012, 11:34 am

To be honest I have a thin set of rules and I make the rest up as I go along. There's always going to be a bit of controversy but I really don't care who wins so I'm being as impartial as I can.

Rowley - You are very right (and bitter) but I'd run out of Qs too quickly if I didn't throw in some non boxing ones.

Points for game 1 are as follows.

Imperial Ghosty - 10
owen10ozzy - 10
seanmichaels - 7
rowley - 7
compelling and rich - 5
JDizzle - 3
two_tone - 3
Union Cane - 1

I'll do up a league table in the OP when I get a chance. New questions will be up soon.

I have to query damaen Kelly, by my reckoning he was never a proper world champion unless I've missed the part where the ibo was taken seriously.

I agree with you Ghosty but its my fault for not defining world champion.
