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

rules:

game 1:

game 2:

game 3:

game 4:

game 5:

game 6:

game 7:

game 8:

game 9:

game 10:

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 thumbsup

by paperbag_puncher Tue 10 Jul 2012, 6:05 pm

When you say WBC/WBA/IBF/WBO I assume that the old world championships that the likes of Jeffries and Johnson won are acceptable?

Yes as long as they won a legitimate World Championship. The 4 above are a guideline for the more modern era.

I have set a bit of a precedent for myself playing this game.......

To be fair though I did have 'microwaved' / scrambled egg on toast for breakfast on Sunday. Smile

I'm top after 3 games and have delusions of grandeur that I could actually win, I don't wanna taint the feeling of pride by cheating. Otherwise I'd be all over google like white on rice.

Brief disclaimer before I start. I hate reverse sheep. I realise its a better game but its a complete pain to score. But I will endeavor to run a few reverse sheep games as people prefer it. There's only one of me and I'm checking the answers while working away so I might miss something or read something wrong at some point. If you see a mistake shout and I'll rectify it. Again I'll do my best to give players benefit of the doubt. Thank you.

Be like Union. It is your call and your call only. He never let 'the right thing to do' get in the way of the running of UCPL.

So you're telling me to grow a pair? Sound advice.

Right I'm going to pause for a few minutes after putting the scores up to let people point out any mistakes. So that's after question 3, 5, 7 and 9. Any queries shout then.

Born on the 'island or Ireland' though, which is what the question specifies.

Though I would say that my interpretation of that phrase would be that it meant Eire, which would not innclude Northern Ireland, where McLarnin was born....
