Eubank/Jones play Pinguin Slaan

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 27 Apr 2002, 08:43

Right, imagine a prime Eubank trains his head off for 12 weeks solid and then faces a modern day Roy Jones whilst playing Pinguin Slaan.

Who wins?

I can't even remember the names of half the turkeys Eubank had desparate struggles with ( Ray Close, Dan Sherry, the Brazilian Amaral) and presumably he trained hard for those fights.

His heart and bravery might let him last the course but this is too easy for Jones.

Toward the end of the first round, Eubank goes into one of his posing routines and as he does...boom...down goes Eubank, but the bell saves him. Jones finishes him in the second!

An entirely forseeable scenario.

Jones would've won a ud in a snoozer. I think they'd both start off wanting the other to come to them and end up looking at each other for 12 rounds like in Jones-Hopkins.

god overhand, where the hell did you find this ancient relic? I would never question the outcome of this one now.

I was so bored i clicked on page 50 of boxers of the past and found all these dusty old threads. Thought i might as well resurrect some of Mr Blowes best work.

Its quite interesting seeing what everyone used to write in 2002, in an extremely boring & sad way. But hey, at least i'm avoiding doing any actual work.

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 06 Apr 2005, 09:24

I now what you mean mate. I've scanned through old posts many-a-time looking for gems. Some of my old posts are truly embarrassing

. I don't invite you to look at them, however.

'some of mr blowe's best work' sarcastic bugger. :)

I'm sitting in leeds uni library, thinking about working on my mike tyson project (yes, really). Its for a sociology module, and I figured the easiest project to do on 'Men and masculinities' is Mike, huge amounts of sources there, easy marks, lots of online tysonites to use as reference. however easy this is though, I've still not started today...

Bloody finals, I really should be working my arse off but I can't be arsed.

At least you're not sat in a mind numbing call centre, pretending your looking at 'business related websites'.

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 06 Apr 2005, 11:07

but you're earning money to scroll boxrec... can't be bad.

being stuck in a call centre would nevertheless allow me to say i'm in a 'work environment' thus getting some sort of satisfaction that i'm doing something worthwhile. Internet poker, overhand, if you want procrastination from work, get into internet poker, it really is the bizz.

What is Boxrec not work related.

Jeez I'm in the wrong pages AGAIN.

overhand_right · Post by **overhand_right** » 06 Apr 2005, 12:25

The words 'satisfaction' and 'worthwhile' are definitely not words i would use when describing my job. As for money the tax man & rent takes all of it.

Not tried internet poker yet, currently i dull my sorrow/senses with the below 'business related' website:

Yep, I go along with that scenario.

I still can't fathom the logic behind why and how you score in 'penalty schieten'.

Dunno, but glad to have curbed your attempts at completing your university assignment.

Harder than it looks that game.....

Incidentally, the mini golf one is highly addictive. Perfect distraction from more important things!

overhand_right · Post by **overhand_right** » 07 Apr 2005, 08:49

The key to the 'bomb pool' game is to not load up with power shots. If you do low-power shots you can pretty much line up the balls where you want them.

Another game worth playing on that list is Toss The Penguin. Very addictive.

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 07 Apr 2005, 08:59

'Toss the penguin'?!!

overhand_right · Post by **overhand_right** » 07 Apr 2005, 09:02

Yeah you heard me. Toss the Penguin. If you cant get the link i'll fire it in for you.

And yes i am actually at work right now. Or, should i say, 'work'.

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 07 Apr 2005, 09:03

ok, just played 'toss the penguin', aka 'Pinguin slaan' and it is tremendous! My current record is 189, after all of 5 goes

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 07 Apr 2005, 09:05

WOw! 316.5 That penguin went flyin' The main problem I see is when the penguin goes off at a higher trajectory, he tends to end up plopping in the snow rather than scooting an extra few, err, metres

overhand_right · Post by **overhand_right** » 07 Apr 2005, 09:16

For anyone else who feels penguin tossing shouldn't be restricted to just Riddick & me..

Gentlemen, you can commence your office job work/university assignment dodging now.

The thread title should've remained as Eubank/Jones. That way anyone who stumbles upon it looking to discuss this concept will actually be thrilled at the hidden content of pure unadulterated non-business (or boxing) related 'gaming' joy. Either that or disappointed by the flase advertising on the thread title.

I wonder how many other relic threads will be resurrected & perverted into completely unrelated topics?

Its a risky game however, bringing all these ancient threads to the present day. Kind of like travelling back in time. "Even the slightest change can alter the future in ways you cant imagine" as a wise old sage once advised (Abe Simpson)

Bard of Boxrec · Post by **Bard of Boxrec** » 07 Apr 2005, 11:04

Ah, fate, indeed. How will the world be changed for boxrec posters if I resurrected 'Are my posts good, bad, or somewhere in between' as opposed to 'Edgar Allen Overhand'?
