I think Ken Shamrock repeated the effort when considering his superfight with Hoyce Gracie some years later.

[Stonehands89]

Schmeling.

Schmelling is correct

"We wuz robbed"

Didn't Jeff Fenech say that?

[Jack Dempsey]

Felix Bocchicchio, McGrain was right, Joe Jacobs

[Ramon Rojo]

Didn't Jeff Fenech say that?

Joe Jacobs, Schmeling manager said that in 1932 when Schmeling lost his heavyweight title to Jack Sharkey by decision.

and he also got kicked in the ass by ref gunboat smith:yep

[Duodenum]

Who said; "i zee somzing" ??What's amazing to me is how before he told Paul Gallico, he asked him, "You write nozzinck?," and Gallico promised, "Okay Max, I write nozzinck!," and kept his word to Max when Schmeling told him all about the susceptibility of Louis to his counter right that he'd identified. Can you imagine a member of the press maintaining a confidence like that today? (Aside from Woodward, Bernstein, and Bradlee keeping Mark Felt's identity as "Deep Throat," secret through all these years past the Watergate conspiracy.) Bless Paul Gallico (for that, and also for getting in the ring with Jack Dempsey, years before George Plimpton stepped in with Archie Moore, and otherwise plagarized Gallico's career in participative sports reporting).

[la-califa]

Max Schmeling. Noting he seen a flaw in Joe Louis' style which could give him an edge. Louis kept his left a little low & would be vulnerable to a counter right.

[Jack Dempsey]

I've got a question for you guys, which lineal HW champ has been knocked down the most???

Bonus points for guessing who's in second place

I will have a guess at Floyd Patterson.

For second - Frazier?

Tell me!

[DocDevil]

Patterson 1st Maybe Carnera 2nd

[Jack Dempsey]

Right on the first one, the second one surprised me

[Duodenum]

I've got a question for you guys, which lineal HW champ has been knocked down the most???

Bonus points for guessing who's in second placeEzzard Charles was dropped 33 times, according to some records, Patterson around 22 to 23 times.

Why not? Gallico didn't like Louis anyway because he was black, so I'm not suprised in the slightest that Paul "Gurlico" kept that secret.

One of the questions asked, "Who were the fighters involved in the first heavyweight championship ever scheduled for 15 rounds", and none of the choices were the right answer. Their answer was Jack Dempsey vs. Bill Brennan, but the real answer is Jess Willard vs. Jack Dempsey. That website is flawed.:good

[My dinner with Conteh]

Couple of little ones:

Last fight scheduled for 15?
Last heavyweight fight scheduled for 15?

[TBooze]

Here is one that seems to get people;

What three (unrelated) titlists (either WBA, C or IBF) from the 80s all grew up on the same street, what was the name of the street and where was it?

Q1: Vinny Paz had a 15 rounder in the 90s, but I think there was one a little later on but the names escape me.

Q2: Tucker/Douglas at a guess

[Duodenum]

Why not? Gallico didn't ke Louis anyway because he was black, so I'm not suprised in the slightest that Paul "Gurlico" kept that secret.Gurlico? Would you have been Gurlenough to step in the ring with a prime Dempsey? Better you than me, then! (I do agree that, The Poseidon Adventure, was a sucky novel though.)

Not sure, I imagine it's in New York or London. But i'll have a stab at somewhere in Fort Worth, Texas: Don, Bruce Curry and Gene Hatcher?

Sorry, I meant world title fight. Well done anyway. :happy :bbb

World title bouts...oh and 'No'. :good

[TBooze]

The country is the USA, but not Texas and no of the fighters are related that I know of, so they are definitely not brothers.

Remember it is the 80s, they may of all come from the same stable...;)

[TBooze]

World title bouts...oh and 'No'. :good

World titles was it Paez/GroveI?

And if it was not Tucker/Douglas then maybe Spinks/Cooney

[My dinner with Conteh]

Then was Tyson/Biggs a scheduled 15 rounder?

[My dinner with Conteh]

Yep. Is your answer some of the Duva stable guys?

[josak]

Who said...

"HERE COME GATTI BACK!@!@!!"

[TBooze]

No not Duva...

Think of the 'gold and red' ;)

Suppose it must be Hearns, Kenty and McCrory then. :hey

[TBooze]

Suppose it must be Hearns, Kenty and McCrory then. :hey

Milton is right, but the other two are wrong;)

[My dinner with Conteh]

It must be Jimmy Paul and Duane Thomas then? Good question that one. What was the street called?

[TBooze]

It must be Jimmy Paul and Duane Thomas then? Good question that one. What was the street called?

Yep well done; Milton, Duane and Jimmy were all brought up on Marx Street, Detroit.

[My dinner with Conteh]

Here's a couple to leave you with:


Last fight between two undisputed world champs?

15 round 'undisputed' world title fight in past 40 years in which EVERY round was scored even on one of the judges cards?


What street does Earnie Shavers live in?

[My dinner with Conteh]

I just added the last one for a gag. Earnie won't mind, I won't give out the number. :good

[la-califa]

Last undisputed- Holmes-Spinks? The other question:Antuofermo-Hagler?

[Sam Dixon]

One of the questions asked, "Who were the fighters involved in the first heavyweight championship ever scheduled for 15 rounds", and none of the choices were the right answer. Their answer was Jack Dempsey vs. Bill Brennan, but the real answer is Jess Willard vs. Jack Dempsey. That website is flawed.:good

Dempsey/Willard was a scheduled 12 rounder, Butterfly, so say such sources as the New York Times, Oakland Tribune, Chicago Daily Tribune, Washington Post, Fort Wayne News, etc., etc. in the immediate days (including day of) leading up to the fight.

[My dinner with Conteh]

Last undisputed- Holmes-Spinks? The other question:Antuofermo-Hagler?


No, Holmes had given up the WBC title because he ducked Super Greg Page- he was never undisputed champ anyway. Hagler was champ then. Although he and Larry were always undisputed champs of the Whining Association.

Yes he does actually. Doreen Ave, around the corner from my parents. Well done. :D

:good He's a great fella.

[My dinner with Conteh]

He is. I can't actually believe a person can be so nice, he must have some underground criminal thing going on or something. Surely no one is that pleasant.*







* Only joking. Don't tell him. ;)

[GABBY]

He really is a smashing fella, He has time for every one.


I speak to him often, but I never have asked him about his boxing career, i just would feel intruding.

He sent me flowers for my last birthday, i was made up.

Flowers, eh. I'm impressed. But I've spoken to him about his fights a few times and he seems to love it (maybe because I ask him about wins like Ellis, Smith and Young as opposed to his scrapes with Ali and Peanut Head).

Thanks mate.
Now if you'd be kind enough to give me a clue on what title fight had a judge score every round a draw I'd be most grateful,as it's got me stumped and is bugging hell out of me.

What kind of clue? It took place in Europe if that helps.

Is Larry Holmes considered the reigning undisputed world champ? If so then would his fight with Michael Spinks be between to reigning undisputed champs?

I'm not quite following this. Holmes wasn't WBA or WBC champ at the time.

Yeah my bad I didn't read further up, somebody already mentioned it.

That would be Duran-Leonard I.

[young griffo]

That would be Duran-Leonard I.
Conteh said it took place in Europe which counts this out.
I'm guessing it could be Howard Winstone-Vincente Saldivar.

[Stonehands89]

...as far as I recall anyway... I think that the next day his scoring was changed to like 3 rounds Duran, 2 for Leonard and 10 even.

[Nemesis]

this every round even quandry, had to have taken place in Italy, I'd hazard a guess at Loi vs Perkins I

[TBooze]

I know Billy Hardy lost a split decision to Vicenzo Belcastro (118lbs Euro title fight) because one judge scored all the rounds even and final round to Belcastro.

But I must admit I struggle to find the answer to this question.

[My dinner with Conteh]

...as far as I recall anyway... I think that the next day his scoring was changed to like 3 rounds Duran, 2 for Leonard and 10 even.


You're thinking of Poletti's score, which was announced 148-148, but rectified to 148-147. :good

An Italian is involved (obviously). The country was Spain. :good

This took me ages to find but was it Carmello Bossi D15 Jose Hernandez for the undisputed jnr middle title in Madrid?

Although the actual result didn't necessarily have to be a draw, you are right. Judge Rolf Neuhold carded 150-150. Well done again squire. :good
