Boxing Sheep Season 4 Game 10 HEEP Deadline Thursday 02/08/12 @2.30pm

by paperbag_puncher Fri Jul 27, 2012 2:07 pm

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

Game 10 - Sheep Deadline 02-08-12 2:30pm NOTE THIS IS HEEP. The objective of heep is to guess the second highest answer. Scoring is the same as sheep, with the following differences: the highest answer (or tied answers) receives a score of 0, while the second highest answer (or tied answers) gets their points doubled. Highest score wins. THIS GAME IS WORTH DOUBLE POINTS Some questions may be repeat ones as there is a different dynamic to this game.

Name a boxer from Cuba
Name a big punching boxer with a fragile chin
If fights were to the finish (until someone was KO'd not killed) who would be HW champion today
Name an active boxer who is tall for his weight class
Who wins this 4 man tournament Audley, Ali, Rogan, Frazier
Name a movie trilogy
Name a type of street drug
Name a type of bear
Name a Blur song
How old is paperbag_puncher (yes this question is meant to be here)

Far too clever for your own good, TH.

Mmmmm.....apparently so!

Tough q tho, definitely don't agree with Haye as his style is too much about pot-shotting then going in for the kill with a flurry of punches. Price has a stronger case, arguably even Audley as he might be better wrapped up in that nice head-guard/padding.

I think we thought about the earlier one too much Tina, putting Pirog instead of Martinez.

Just had to google that! Is that something you middle-class types eat TopHat, and presumably call a dessert?

Well neither Tyson nor Froch ever competed as far as I can find out although 2 interesting snippets of info include Tyson having the fastest ever ko win in the Junior Olympics - 8 seconds, and Carl 'granite chin' Froch got knocked out by Peter Manfredo Jr in the amateurs.....

Hamed

It was the word "definitely" in the question that got me. If you look at the FW division, Hamed fills the criteria. Although Lewis is/was a great, he is not as nailed on to beat either Klitschko brother as fat Nas would be to beat the current FW champs.

Me and michaels are correct, you lot are all wrong.

by bellchees Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:49 am

Can't believe I forgot Carnera, thats cost me big.

by TopHat24/7 Mon Jul 30, 2012 11:56 am

Gamboa at FW is a tougher test to Hamed than either of the K's are to Lewis at HW.

Lewis has already beaten a younger, hungrier, faster Vitali and Wlad, being the more talented/skilled of the two, loses all his advantages to Lewis. They're the same height and weight but Lewis has a 3" reach advantage. So not only can Wlad not push or lean on Lewis but he can't keep him out of reach with that wonderful jab of his. Add Lewis' slightly better chin, better punch variety (I'd back him to take Wlad's head off with an uppercut) and I can't see anything other than a Lewis TKO.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon Jul 30, 2012 12:20 pm

That was a tough first round of questions...debated whether people would just choose the 'name' of each division or whether some of you would want to show your boxing knowledge and actually analyse who best fits the amateur way of fighting...

Clearly some of you just went for the name:

Martinez middleweight & Marquez lightweight...no chance!

Scored some points though...which is a good job because I fear the Italy question may have dashed any hopes of points in this next one!

I see you went for Chavez at Middleweight, terrible choice compared to Martinez. Body shots never score in the amateurs which is a big part of his game, weigh ins every day means he would be a light heavy as he couldnt drain himself to make weight each day and they actually have to take the drug tests as well in the amateurs so he wouldn't even be allowed to compete.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon Jul 30, 2012 12:33 pm

Hahahaha!! Think body work gets alot more recognition in terms of scoring than it has done in a long time.

I also think his height would give him an edge...

But yes your right the poor weight discipline and very shady behaviour when it comes to testing probably rules him out of even competing.

Funnily enough if I really thought about it I would probably say James DeGale beats them both in amateur format so I should have gone with that, not that it would of scored any better.

by bellchees Mon Jul 30, 2012 12:37 pm

It's a bit hard to tell now they don't have the running scores up on the screen what punches are scoring and what ones aren't. I was watching some of the fights yesterday and remember a guy landing solid hooks to the body on a regular basis and if it were the pros he would have won all 3 rounds quite comfortably but he only just edged the win by a point or so with the amateur scoring, really frustrating to watch.

by **owen10ozzy** Mon Jul 30, 2012 1:13 pm

Yeh I know what you mean. I really dont think their is too much you can do with regards the judging because as is in the Pro game it is open to interpretation in so much as what a judge views as a scoring shot...

Even a landing shot only counts if its the whole of the knuckle of the glove which lands rather than the side etc...

Im just glad there haven't been loads of poor decisions thus far (fingers crossed it continues)...though their was one shocker yesterday I believe
