Good job iwng, you nailed them all!

Just want to add that Jack Dempsey comes in 3rd with, 26, for Most First Round Knockouts, I bet a lot of boxing fans didn't know that. Also interesting is the 1st broadcast of a fight on the radio was Dempsey vs. Willard in July 1919. (I bet it was a short but entertaining broadcast)

I am always suspicious of people who get 100%......

And I am not bitter as I only got 2. Still can't believe Carpentier was right !

I only got 16.67% because I knew the Mongoose had the most KOs.

Without looking it up, I probably would have only gotten 2, or perhaps 3, i'll try to do some boxing trivia once a week.
