23) Tommy Gun but not sure becuase it does not happen until late on in Rock 5

If your answer to 23) is correct, I think you'll find that there is now only one - number 9) - left to get, now, Beefy.

How can this be possible 57 + 23 + 1 = 81 so what happened in the other ??? ??? ???

I hope you score better at bar billiards than your adding up here suggests.....

So I go for Total 81 Wins 57 Losses 23 Draws 1

That assumes all the other postings are right to - we need Nigel to score the answers to be sure !

Well, I'll ignore your other cheeky comment, but I certainly agree with you on that, we should let Nigel administer his own quiz rather than attempt to do it for him. ;)

I reckon 29 is outstanding and I am going to go for the Boxer he faces in the charity fight making a reappearance in Rocky Balboa.

[NigelS]

Ok heres an update

2) Rocky's career record is 81 fights 57 wins (51 K/O) 23 losses and 1 draw. I will give Tommo a point and also Beefy a bonus point for pointing out the correct number of fights. However I am dubious a draw should count to his record as it was against Thunderlips the wrestler!
3) H&J are correct
12) Tommo's point - I was looking for Roberto Duran
16) Lou Filipo refereed the second fight I am looking for the ref of the first fight.
20) Point to H&J
23) Not Tommy Gunn, beefy
27) Good answer Tommo, 1 point
28) Not Roy Jones, Tommo
30) Yep it was the Simpson, 1 point to H&J

OK leaderboard now stands
Beefy 12 points
Tommo 10 points
H&J 4 points

Very amusing Nigel,

But it seems it's been turned into a tag contest, and Beefy has been tagged by Harry the Spider - who now has me on the ropes ! ;D ;D

[NigelS]

Ha Tommo you could still force a draw with the answers to the two remaining questions 9 & 16

[H&J]

16: Marty Denkin

[H&J]

9: Ivan Drago

[NigelS]

H&J 16 is correct, 9 is incorrect.

29: Spider Rico

Nigel I did say this answer was this person but could not remember the name surely I get something as I said it was the guy from the charity match ?

[beefy]

Looks like I have it then with 12 points and to think it all came down to the bonus point Nigel gave - cheers mate !

9) Joe Frazier

Seems I lost on a points decision. ;) ;D

When are you going to see the new film then, Nigel ? Tomorrow night ?

Careful if you have a ringside seat - Margo and I went to see the Da Vinci Code at the local multiplex and were right up front close to the giant screen. One scene nearly made us jump out of our skins !

[NigelS]

Elsie gets the final point - Joe frazier is correct

Final leaderboard

Beefy 12pts
Tommmo 10pts
H&J 8pts
Elsie 1pt

Tommo, I saw the film yesterday, and recommend it if you are a Rocky fan. At least we can put to bed the tripe that was Rocky V and Rocky has the send of he deserves.
Stallone has ticked the boxes in this one -
- Rocky makes a comeback from retirement
- Rocky runs up the steps to 'gonna fly now',
- Rocky trains to a musical montage, where he can't lift heavy weights at the beginning of the sequence and then can lift them by the end of the music.
- There is a cameo of a very famous boxer (not Tarver) I won't tell you who as it will spoil it if you are going to see it.
- Rocky gets back in the ring, where it looks like he will get beaten badly, but gets up from the canvas and fights back.

It would have been cool if he brought back Mr T or Ivan Drago - but Spider Rico (the guy he fought in the chapel in Rocky I) is there!

We now await Rambo IV!
