I don't know that this is boxing. You get scores per round. Also, I am not sure that there is just one sport. English or Western horse riding has no scoring or anything until the end when the judge announces a winner.

Re: Think you know everything?
 

The way a judge scores a fight isn't revealed until its conclusion, not after each round.

Re: Think you know everything?
 

Here are a few answers to questions that I think are correct:

1. Boxing
3. I think that there are three-Rhubarb, Asparagus, and Horseradish
4. Strawberry, Raspberry, Blackberry and any other members of this family of fruits.
8. Durian-I have seen Kiwi processed into both carbonated and uncarbonated juices
9. Shoes, sandals, slippers, spikes, slides, sh*t kicker boots, socks, stockings
