Boxing Sheep NEW GAME 22/06 PM me answers by 3:30pm

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.

Name a boxer from Scandinavia
Name an active counter puncher
Name a retired counter puncher
Name a fighter who quit in a fight
Name someone who defeated Antonio Margarito
Name an attractive TV character
Name a character from the sitcom "Friends"
Name a U.S state
Name a fight where a Brit beat an American for a title
Name a 606 V2 boxing member whos name is boxing related

Everyone welcome please PM me your answers in an unnumbered list by 3:30pm if you want to play. Remember you are looking for the most common answer.

Worse than that, someone put Ezzard Charles as a non-winner of a title.

I think I put Ali-Foreman, meaning to put Ali Frazier - again trying to beat the clock. Promise no more silly answers from me

Come on now jammin, you have previous here. Although your 'Rocky character' answer is the most unintentionally funny thing I have read on here for ages!

I don't know if any of you have been to the cinema lately, but I went to see Prometheus a few days back, during the trailers / adverts, I saw a mock trailer for 'The Expendables 2' with the chap from The Inbetweeners....

If you've seen that, you might understand why 'Adrienne' may have been in my head!

I should really stop defending myself I know...But its a new day, a new dawn....

Il give you that one Jammin and I went to see The Dictator and remember the advert your talking about.

Still no excuse!

Only me and James with any taste on here then.

A bit of 3 way action at the top. Union bottled it and let the others in. Tie breaker? I'll have to trust you not to use the internet. You can post the answer in this thread.

Maybe you've just watched Last Tango in Paris a few too many times Tino......big fan of the butter scene??

Im going to do what Bradley should of done and say that I lost.

a few of the answers on here for me I didn't give thin there may have been a mix up paperbag!?

i think i actually finished on about 50

Tom Hanks?

Tom bleedin' Hanks?

You disappoint me you lot, you really do.

Favourite actor.

Come on Union, you gotta love 'Big'.

ermietrude wrote:Come on Union, you gotta love 'Big'.

No I don't.

He's a terrible actor, uses exactly the same accent, tone and intonation in every role he has ever played. Dreadful actor.

Aye mate, I love the lighting in that scene. Would have used Flora Lite myself but each to their own.

Brando is the GOAT. Pacino just shouts alot and De Niro screws his face up and tilts his head. I could do that.

Green Mile's one of my favourite films......

What a way to lose my title.

Gutted.

Just noticed that Double. Not sure what happened. Maybe if Union hadn't rushed me into starting it when I was half asleep

Apologies... I'm awake now.

No worries at all Paperbag you made me look a lot smarter than I am.

for that I thank you!

Haha. I agree, he is not my cup of tea either to be honest but he's bagged me some points today so will temporarily let him off for 'Sleepless in Seattle'.

Alright guys I think this one is a bit of a write off due to some "tampering" with the scores.. Calling it a draw.

Final scores?
