Boxing quiz question

smokin Joe

Although technically you could argue that Joshua is the 1st to be a World champ at heavy and Olympic champ at Super heavy which was not introduced unti 1984

WD DP.

Thank you, nick. I'm gonna have a look at the Enzo fight tomorrow if I have time do a short preview, if anyone interested (don't blame anyone if they are not,btw)

Amir Khan is the youngest boxer to have represented Great Britain at the Olympic Games. Who is the second youngest?

ooh, don,t know that one

Ah, just looked it up. wouldn't have guessed that on,tbh

don't want to spoil your quiz, but I remember 3 of his fights in particular

2 of the fights were almost identical, as i recall

Yes, i know the two you're alluding to.

Wonder how old kirk is doing now? horrific what happened, deserved a lot better

hope it hasn't spoiled your quiz, btw

Not really had the time to study it properly, and I'm not gonna put up guesswork. Don't think there is much interest in it anyway.  Enzo's been an accident waiting to happen for a long time. Kucher is tough and decent (fought a decent fight against recent Bellew opponent makubu, and was beaten on points, but made a decent scrap of it). but he's not the biggest and I don't know if he has real KO power, but with Enzo's chin you never Know, Enzo can still bang a bit though, but there's no value in not going the distance. Sorry if it sounds like a cop out, but I'm leaving this one alone.
What do you think yourself Nick?

Enzo blasted out in the 1st Round. Has sensibly decided to retire now. Thank goodness!

What boxer when he was crowned world champion soiled himself in the ring and were did it happen ?

A heavyweight?

Ah no. I know it now. not a heavy

Probably some poor fcker who had to lose a lot of weight for fight ?

A pure Guess Barry Mcguigan ?

Loftus Road if it was Him

Crufts?

Although I guess it has happened to quite a few. Not surprised, really. people sh1t themeselves for a lot less than the torture that fighters go through!

good joke

Well done Crags....

Not sure my opinion would be worth much, Des. Not so keen as I was back in the 80s and 90s and I haven't got Sky, so I don't get to watch a lot of boxing.

Keep posting your previews though.

Cheers nick. I put a few bob on Kucher after all, on my 365 account as a mug bet, kind of expecting to lose so they will be more inclined to keep me on the offers, but I'm on a lucky streak with them. So, I'll take it while it lasts, which won't be long.
As far as the answer to the last question goes I thought it was Bozy, but I'll bet it happens quite a lot. If a powerful bloke was smashing me in the face, I would sh1t myself too, tbh! It's hard for people to understand what it is like to be hit by a good boxer, no matter how tough you may be.  I remember once, the actor Mickey Rourke who was a fairly tough guy, saying that he was sparring with Tommy Hearns once. And when tommy hit him he was sick non-stop for about 10 hours afterwards.
