28/30 I suck.

Went 'senior moment' on Roy jones and didn't think the De La Hoya Paq victory was an upset.

Got stuck on 29, had a complete mental blank with Ezzard Charles. Knew his nickname, could picture the KO but total brain fart thinking of his real name :doh:

28. Missed two of the last three.

I'm not really interested in boxing history, so that's not a bad score.

27 and the only reason I didn't get full marks was because I couldn't spell Wlad's and Vitalis last name :lol: :doh:

The other one I missed was Tyson Fury* :doh: which is a big admission to make for a British boxing aficionado but yeah, I missed him out too, he just never came up in my mind for some reason as I was banging at the keyboard klitsckho and the various versions of his damn name! :yay:

Have you tried that 'every team that was in the premier league' I got 43 on that and missed out Tottenham Hotspur! :doh:

* That was on the name all the undisputed heavyweight champions quiz - got Marvin Hart, missed out Tyson Fury. :-?
