having said that i googled "London 2012 will have 8 million tickets on sale for the Olympics and 1.6 million for the Paralympics"
 
Correct Otis. When I first wrote the question I had Which Olympics WILL sell..., I tried to re word it without the tense.

Oh well. Sorry. You're up Otis.

Stan fought Mexican Santiago Garza

The fight was a draw

After this fight he was offered a chance to go to the US, to the US kickboxing stable called the Jet Centre. He left his job to fulfill his dream.

Yes, yes and no... the interesting thing i'm thinking of was more of a 'one-off' for Stan.. it concerns his weight. Although I'll give you full points since you're correct on the last point (and i wasn't clear enough with that part of the question).

The interesting fact was that the fight was a "Super Light Heavyweight" bout which was Stan's only ever non-heavyweight bout. He had to shed 12kg before the fight.

Take it away Mainlandy
 
Thanks for letting that one go through to the keeper Otis :D

Regarded as the greatest game ever played, which Pheonix player scored a basket on the buzzer to force game 5 of the NBA finals into a third overtime in the 1976 finals versus Boston?
 
NBA: Boston Celtics have had a tough time on-court since the late 80s due largely to the deaths of some key players. One was a very high draft pick who died a couple of days after the draft. One was the team captain and best player. Name these 2 players, when they died and what they died of.
 
Len Bias died June 19 1993 I think a few days after the draft of a cocaine overdose.
The celtics were never the same after this

Reggie Lewis died July 27 1993 of a heart attack, although many still believe he died of a drug overdose.

Ok, back to game 5 1976 between the Celtics and Suns, the NBA finals.
With 1 second left in the second overtime, who hit the technical free throw for Boston to put them 2 points up?
