going to try my hand at composing one of these as I find them entertaining. I hope cutmemick doesn't mind. So here goes nothing........
I started off my career hot and on a roll until a sorcerer finally got a split decision. And speaking of roll my trainer might say that I belonged on one. In 1993 I moved up and pulled off a terrible upset via 4th rd tko but I should be upset with the way my career was executed as I lost my last 6 bouts before finally hanging them up.
I gotta go with Simon Brown bud
You are correct sir and thanks for giving it a go. Tell me how you came up with the answer and also give me some feedback regarding if it was too vague or was the riddle a good one or not. Brutal honesty is appreciated as I will be posting more and I hope to improve as I go along because this one was made up on the fly to be honest.Quote:

The trainer saying he needed a roll through me...is that an Atlas kitchen metaphore? Also Atlas spoke highly of Brown this last FNF. It was a good one dude, the exact year may have bullseyed it, maybe a decade...era rather? Cheers.Quote:
