Short Holiday Quiz

I’ll take just one.

Duran’s title challenger was Ray Lampkin.

 

No 2 Jeffries v Sharkey - Jeffries
No 3 Israel
No 9 Willie Pep
No 10 Billy Conn
No 7 Bear
No 11 Jack Roper
That's from my memory, not Wiki or Google.

 

#5 - Robinson v Maxim

 

#8- Ray Lampkin.

 

Trunk s split, pretty sure that was Holmes and Bowe?

 

And sure that Whitey s name was Morris.

 

#4 - Dundee
#11 - Walcott, although, I thought he said that after the first Marciano!

 

Angelo Dundee didn't administer the smelling salts, I'll probably be way off but my guess is one of Angelo's brothers, Joseph? I'm not even sure if they helped out with his corner work.

 

# 10 is Tami Mauriello. At least he was quoted as saying that after staggering Louis early.
# 11 I think that it is indeed Jack Roper. My bad, @Mike Cannon.

 

#12 sounds like Archie Moore.

 

For # 4 I would’ve said Angelo Dundee also - but then I did second guess myself since the answer seemed too easy. They did pack around Ali tight in the corner when it was administered, the vision somewhat obscured - I’ve read Ali was given at least 2 doses of the salts and I’ve also read it was given by Angelo - but that doesn’t mean that it’s correct though. Either Angie was multitasking (worsening the tear in the glove at the same time) or he delegated the salt duties to someone else in the corner -

 

Same here Mike - that’s the fun of it, relying on your own noodle, for better or worse. Lol.

Always loved the Willie Pep quote, btw.

That would’ve been a great quip for Rodney NO RESPECT Dangerfield to have delivered.
