I ran out of time on mine.. probably would have gotten 2-3 more. But I’m at work. So couldn’t concentrate

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

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

Also an excellent quiz. 25/30. Could have done a bit better, I'll use brain fog and slow typing as an excuse. :)

The other one I missed was Tyson Fury*

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!
Have you tried that 'every team that was in the premier league' I got 43 on that and missed out Tottenham Hotspur!
* That was on the name all the undisputed heavyweight champions quiz - got Marvin Hart, missed out Tyson Fury.
