Welterweight Quiz

[Ambling Alp II]

This a quiz I gave to me daughter. She got them all right. She is only 8, but is in the talented and gifted program. I told her that an adult got them all wrong and she was surprised.

Anyway, let's see how you can do:

The welterweight division is for fighters who weigh over 140 but not over 147.

1. Jimmy beat Tony twice. In one of their matches Tony weighed 136.5. In the other, he weighed 137. Was Tony a welterweight when Jimmy beat him?
2. Jimmy beat Billy twice. In one of their matches Billy weighed 138. In the other, he weighed 139. Was Bill a welterweight either time when Jimmy beat him?
3. Jimmy beat Sammy. Sammy weighed 140 in their match. Was Sammy a welterweight when Jimmy beat him?
4. Jimmy beat Lou? Lou weighed 136.5 for their match. Was Lou a welterweight in their match?
5. Ray beat Roberto. Roberto weighed 145.5 for their match. Was Roberto a welterweight in their match?
6. Ray beat Wilfred. Wilfred weighed 144.5 for their match. Was Wilfred a welterweight in their match?
7. Jack was the welterweight champion. Jack is not in the Hall of Fame. Is Jack a Hall of Famer?

Scroll down to the bottom and see the answers.

You're telling me a grown man failed this quiz?

To quote an old Greek, He should have no seed and die unmarried!

The adult who got them wrong was not a boxing fan, that's for sure.
