Here's the answers the boxing quiz I gave a couple of weeks ago.
The number of responses weren't too good so I'll individually 
e-mail the participants their scores.  Out of a possible 60 points,
the highest was 26.  I'll try to make the next quiz just a little
bit easier.

     and who won?

     Jorge Paez W15 Calvin Grove.  Note:  Paez was behind in

     with being the only boxer to knock down Marvelous Marvin
     Hagler.  What was his name?

     Juan Domingo Roldan.

     Reggie Gross.


2)   Name the only boxer to put Doug DeWitt out for the count.

     Jose Quinones did it for sure.  I'm pretty sure Nigel Benn

     Who was it?

     Ruben Olivares.  Note:  The Chavez-Ramirez fight was 
     stopped due to a cut on Ramirez but the cause of the 
     cut was ruled to be due to an accidental head butt.  
     Chavez won an 11th round technical decision since he 
     was leading on the score cards at the time of the
     stoppage.
