    I got the BBB of C's new year book, so here are a few for the hardcore:

    Who was Guiseppe Antonio Berardinelli better known as?

    Who was Matt Paice's manager on his pro debut?

    Which former Heavyweight Champion of the world signed for Liverpool Football club?

    What is Clay Hodges boxing claim to fame?

    Who did Reg Gutteridge say was "like a baby in a playpen"?

    Name every trainer of Oscar De La Hoya's professional career. See who can get that one.

    No; but good guess; the Gentleman in question won the same title as Neon Leon though....

    He must have used it more than once. Because now I mind he called that for Marvis Frazier when he fought Holmes.

    it was for a very famous fight; the American (HBO) commentators take was (for the same fight); "That is a right to the body and a left hook to the head and ....... is down, and we have a new era in boxing!"

    Berbick vs Tyson. I like how he says "and Berbick is DOWN", with a tone that really sounds like serious damage is done. And it was.

    It was good, but it was no Reg Gutteridge! "He is like a baby in a play pen!", is a lot more funny, than "We have a new era in boxing!".....

    Well call Reg cliche, but I remember him calling that for Tyson/Berbick, as does Les Clark (Page 303, Question 20, BBB of C Boxing Yearbook 2009)
