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:

by **Union Cane** Thu 12 Jul 2012, 11:09 am

Before I say this, can I just point out that I am not accusing anyone of anything.

As there is no way to be sure that people are not using devious means to come up with some of these answers, it would seem to me that the only way to maintain the integrity of the Sheep League is to do away with reverse sheep, and use only normal sheep where use of the internet is not a problem and nobody would then be open to any accusations of cheating. Not that I am making any of course.

Just a thought...

How out of all the people that have won wimbledon did 12 of us manage to split between 4 players. Shocking

by compelling and rich Thu 12 Jul 2012, 11:12 am

I thought italy france would be the most obscure ones so went with the most obvious Doh

by TopHat24/7 Thu 12 Jul 2012, 11:12 am

Interesting nobody went for Jimmy Connors, had him then switched to Hewitt Doh

I agree, though mainly cause I seem to be doing very well lately at sheep and suck at the reverse format.

Though it does guarentee no cheating.

To be fair any half dedicated tennis fan would know of him. Isn't the Aus Open trophy named after him?

He's mates with Antonio Nunez.

Nunez who flopped at Liverpool after being swapped with Owen, also came on in the champions league final too.

I do have a solution for reverse sheep. It needs to be time limited. Probably won't eradicate an owenblunkettghosty but will reduce its impact.

He was an unused sub in the final, but nevertheless, good knowledge.

C'mon PP, where's the Q10 answer?? I'm desperate to find out which 19th century 1 fight wonders Owen and Ghosty have gone with??

who was the leeds left back they signed from RM?

by paperbag_puncher Thu 12 Jul 2012, 11:25 am

OK I have not allowed Herbert Hardwick (Cocoa Kid) Mainly as there seems to be doubt about what the blokes real name was. I have found 4 or 5 different possible real names for him. I believe most people know him as Cocoa Kid and not sure he ever boxed under the name Herbert Hardwick. Too much uncertainty for me to give you that one Owen.
