      my mistake about the Robinson question, you are right, even I make a mistake sometimes, I can't give you your score yet, need to wait for more posts yet, I will score each question as worth 2 points so where a question asks for two things if you only get half right you score a point.

          I looked up Johnny Dundee's nickname, it is certainly not a nickname that would fly today.

                I loved it, that's why it was part of the question

                  1. Who was Mexico's first world Champion ?

                  2. In the 1890's which fighter lost a very controversial fight to Jack McAuliffe, it was the first recorded loss of his career in his 168th fight ?

                  Forgot the name. That's the one where the referee gave the win to the wrong guy and admitted it afterwards.

                  3. In the 1700's this guy took Jack Broughton's title and was credited with inventing the rabbit punch ?

                  I remember that Broughton's backer lost a lot of money. Forgot the name though. :-)

                  4. Which great Welterweight Champion came from Canastota ?

                  The Onion Farmer - Carman Basilo

                  5. Who was Andre Berto's first pro opponent ?

                  6. This guy fought Benny Leonard 8 times, Lew Tendler 3 times and also fought Johnny Kilbane twice, also fought Eugene Criqui, Freddie Welsh and Tony Canzoneri and he had an amazing 355 fights, who was he and what was his nickname ?

                  7, Just fought Lucas Browne tonight, he is an American heavyweight an amazing 7 feet 1 inches tall ?

                  8. Who was the promoter of the famous Jack Johnson vs Tommy Burns fight and what was his nickname ?

                  9. Who was the first world champion from Puerto Rico ?

                  10. who was the first African American known to fight in England his opponent was the great Tom Cribb ?

                  11. This famous Heavyweight was born in St. Croix in the West Indies and is buried in Roma, Queensland, he is an old timer and was inducted into the International Hall Of Fame in 1990, who was he ?

                  The Black Prince, was avoided by John L. Sullivan. Peter Jackson I think was his name

                  12. His nickname was "The Boston Gob" and was Heavyweight Champeen of the world ?

                  Jack Sharkey

                  13. The only two men to beat Sugar Ray Robinson twice in world title bouts ?

                  Gene Fullmer

                  14. This great Featherweight champion's nickname was "The Little Hebrew ?

                  I think it's the guy that fought Battling Nelson (?) and was accused of putting chloroform on his gloves? Was involved with the Black Sox scandal.

                  15. Three time world champion was known as "The Marrickville Mauler ?
                  Great questions. I got to work on remembering names though. :-)
