Boxing Quiz Questions Thread

1. First man to win two undisputed world titles in two seperate weight classes in one fight?

I would say Ross, but it is wrong because his 140 title was not undisupted....

Leonard of course one two bits of alphabet crap.

No that has me stumped.

5. First world title fight to end via a first round knockout?

John L was doing it 1882

 

Correct.

Nope.

 

The worlds last sheduled 15 round fight was between which two boxers and in what weight division?

Anyone?

 

I was pretty certain that McGirt-Davis was the last IBF championship title scheduled for fifteen rounds, unless one of Brian Mitchell's defences qualifies...

 

Mitchell's last fight sheduled for 15 rounds was late 87, which was before McGirt-Davis.

Your awnser and Paez-Grove by the other guy are close. But both wrong.

 

Drew. I have just googled for possible awnsers. Articles state it was the 1989 rematch between Paez and Grove, but that was only scheduled for 12 rounds. The first fight, which is close in time scale to the correct awnser, was scheduled for 15 rounds.

This awnser I have is definite.

 

Awnser: Samuth Sithnarvepol v In-Kyu Hwang, IBF Minimumweight Title, August 29th, 1988, Bangkok, Thailand.

Grove-Paez was held 2 weeks prior to the above, and the month before was when McGirt fought Davis.

 

Which boxer had his father as referee during an amateur fight?

 

JWHT Douglas....... 1908 London Olympics.. Johnny Douglas won the gold medal... 'Snowy' Baker recieved the silver..... Douglas went on to Captain the English cricket side also.... Baker was infamous for the Darcy debacle... Hollywood films.. and general promotions co-insided with Hugh McIntosh..... Chew on that pontius!

 

incidently..... JWHT, via the cricket theme, was to become 'Johnny Wont Hit Today'... due to his poor batting ability.

 

Well done.

 

Obligued.
