Boxing Quiz Questions Thread

Ok Conteh....... for you buddy.. apart from smothering his face wuth it.. what did Randy Turpin do to his left glove that 'Sugar' Ray hated???? Turpin/Robinson 1.

 

Hmm.. close...... keeep workin on it. Watch the film.... Take note of Turpins right hand between encounters.. see what he does to his left hand.....

 

Eva Shain was the first female to judge a World Heavyweight Championship fight. Good catch though. Thanks.

 

Are you talking about Turpin pushing his gloves together?

 

Was he trying to force the horse hair in his gloves away from the knuckle part?

 

Fictional or ****tional?

 

Thats legal. It's called 'skimming' the gloves.

 

Pretty close to it... he actually used the opened right hand to roll over the left hand.... basically to close the left fist as tight as possible... Robinson says the effect created a rock like jab, and this method pissed him off immensely.

 

Pontius.... out of interest, how did you find out about JWHT Douglas..... its a pretty obscure piece of info.. Re: His father being the Ref in 1908 at the games......

'Snowy' Baker, having recieved the silver medal, was Oz's only silver madalist, until 'Spike' Cheney, In Soule '88, took the same.. Hence, the question was easy to answer, for myself anyway..

Just inquizitive about your depth of interest in the game, and how you came about the question...

 

Trick Question...

Who was the first man in the ring twice, with Kostya Tszyu.... professionally.... ???

 

I saw it during a British documentary called "Ring of the rings" a while ago. It focused on olympic boxing mostly.
