Will there be a special girls fight too? I apply for that!

Pavelow is wicked man as he sees that there are already 16 fightere registered, its a shame because Pavelow is the best fighter out there and was ready to send some people into depression like the era we are in.  Most experts have compared Pavelow to the great Barney Scott, a world champion and the best fighter in todays time.  

My request to ladyfigther is to open this competition so more can participate.  I wont let my fans down.  Knuckle Up Cowards!!

You could also host the fights in the IRC, my grandfather had a boxing match there, and ya'll can give Fowler a run for his money.

Ladyfighter smiles seeing the enthousiastic fighters writing their name in the list. More then 16 already :D that is indeed beyond what I expected.

"Listen up people, for this round I will stay with the 16 fighters, but dont worry. First you can cheer your favorite fighter and try to stimulate him/her to train more to get more boxing skills. A few already mentioned they are real boxers, professionals (they say). Second this boxing ring is not made for only one round. THERE WILL BE MORE TO COME."

Ladyfighter quickly thinks when the list of participants can be made, so everyone knows who is playing against who.

"After my regular drug runs and Petty rounds, I will post the list on this Announcement board. Good work all, this is going to be fun".

The bookies favourite is VinoGandor.

It should be noted that he is nearly unstoppable in physical combat, making him the shortest odds.

Seems I got here late but if you have more spaces I'm in.

Gordon throws his multi coloured tightly fitting boxing shorts into the ring...............

"I too am a little late at announcing my willingness to take part but if there`s room for one more, I`m your man."

It was not common knowledge among the business district but Gordon`s left jab and soft shoe shuffle had allowed him to take the 1932 title of dockyard brawler from one eyed jake Dejornio.

Pavelow is dissapointed at LF decision but he understands the circumstances.  Although he is out of this round but he is practicing hard everyday and will be ready for the next.  LF you better start the next round SOON!!!

i always want to fight in a boxing ring.

Toss my name in the list.

Walks up to LadyFighter

"I would like to take a crack at this! Sign me up!"

Good evening everyone,

Ladyfighter walks in the Arena and sees a lot of people looking with a smile on their face at her.

What are they all looking at, I think, immediately checking my clothes and hair.

"Well Lady", Sheik_Ma_Tadger said, "do you know when and against who we are fighting?"

"Of course I do, Mr. Sheik_Ma_Tadger. Today I went to Jim Howe and asked him to toss the names and give me 16 in a particular order."

That is what I did today, but when I entered Jim Howe's office, he was really annoyed by something and then i asked him for a favor. His face went dark and I had to pay him some money before he gave me the names.

These were the first 16 names, kindly ordered by Axe.

1) TheOneAndOnlyPotzy
2) VinoGandor
3) Luca_Senzafine
4) Klasky
5) AlabamaWorley
6) Axe
7) Halle
8) Castro
9) Basti_Artadi
10) Sheik_Ma_Tadger
11) PARISo
12) -Kompton87
13) PerpetuumMobile
14) Im_Irish
15) Richard-Marino
16) Mrs-Doubtfire

After Jim Howe tossed the names the list of fights came up like this:

1. Luca_Senzafine vs Richard-Marino
2. Halle vs PerpetuumMobile
3. -Kompton87 vs AlabamaWorley
4. Basti_Artadi vs Klasky
5. VinoGandor vs Im_Irish
6. Sheik_Ma_Tager vs Axe
7. TheOneAndOnlyPotzy vs Mrs-Doubtfire
8. PARISo vs Castro

The complete list can be found here: http://www.konkuri.com/tournaments/c38b31b591/matches

I hope everyone gets ready to fight and get some more training. Halle said he wanted to show us his amazing boxing skills, well lets see what he can do against PerpetuumMobile, who is not violent.
I can also see VinoGandor cant wait to fight. His fight against Im_Irish will be fun to see. I know that Irish is a tough one to fight to.
Oh and Mrs-Doubtfire, handbags are not officially allowed, but maybe the referree is not looking all the time :D

I wonder what the bets will be, who is going to win this round. And for the ones that did not make it this time. I wont stop organising these fights. Dont worry.


Tomorrow, about same time, we will have winners of this first round.

Good luck

Ladyfighter

Along the crowd, Luca tries to find Richard Marino, then for a moment his eyes catches Richard's..Blinks to him and places a grin on his face to scorn...After a while, He takes his jacket and leaves

Halle eagerly steps up to hear who she is fighting in this competition. 

Piece of cake, Oh....but LadyFighter, I do have to correct you. I am a woman. I may fight like a man, but I am indeed a woman. Halle lets out a loud evil laugh. I plan to kick everyones ass! 

Now excuse me while I go train a little bit more for tomorrows big match.

Blushes while listening to Halle.

Sorry Halle, my mistake, it was crowded and maybe I did not look quite well :D How could I not see you are a woman :D Forgive me, I will never forget from now on. And I do know that women are great Fighters (note my name). Good luck with your match. Let the best win.

Oh...I'm sure I will.

As Halle walks past LadyFighter, she secretly places an envelope in LadyFighters hand containing $20,000 and let's out an evil laugh. There's more of that coming if you know what I mean. Halle winks and disappears into the night.

Without casting too much of an eye on perspective ties, Klasky can't help noticing the draw could conjure up one of the biggest fights in Mafia history. Perhaps he can get a chance to prove that Alabama does not,in fact, kick his arse every night beind the scenes.

Gotta focus on this first fight Klasky, focus, focus, focus

Puts on his tracksuit and trainers and heads out for a quick 25 mile run

PerpetuumMobile visits the arena again and sees quite a crowd gathered there. He carefully studies the participants list and the setup for the first round. For a few minutes he listens to what people are talking about and notices a woman present herself as Halle. After double checking the list to make sure he remembered well Halle being his opponent in the first round, he murmurs to himself:

If I am to fight this bloodthirsty lady and win, I will need some training.

PerpetuumMobile looks around and sees a table and two chairs in the far corner of the room. He walks over, takes off his hat and coat, puts them on a rack standing nearby and takes a seat. Having rolled up his sleeves, he takes a few dice out of his pocket and starts rolling them on the table, raising his head every now and then to take a look at people coming in and out of the place. At one moment he notices Halle sliding an envelop into Ladyfighter's hand and shakes his head, thinking:

I shall not resort to bribery in order to win this competition. I will train hard and fight fairly.
Some people say that once I start rolling, I never stop. I hope that will be to my advantage in this tournament.

Having saw the list go up, Alabama takes a quick look to see who her opponent is..

Well now, this looks like a fair fight to me! I look forward to discovering the outcome and hope that I may progress so as to show the world that I do indeed kick Klasky's ass everyday...

Alabama re-checks the list out of interest to see what cities the participants hail from.. after quick inspection she notices that one unfortunate contestant has already met his maker

1. Luca_Senzafine (Chi) vs Richard-Marino (LA - Dead)
2. Halle (LA) vs PerpetuumMobile (Chi)
3. -Kompton87 (NO) vs AlabamaWorley (Chi)
4. Basti_Artadi (NO) vs Klasky (Chi)
5. VinoGandor (NY) vs Im_Irish (DT)
6. Sheik_Ma_Tadger (NY)vs Axe (NY)
7. TheOneAndOnlyPotzy (StL) vs Mrs-Doubtfire (Chi)
8. PARISo (NY) vs Castro (StL)

It appears poor Richard-Marino from LA has passed away, after visiting his funeral it would appear there was some sort of tragic accident that took him from us. Does this afford Luca_Senzafine a free pass to the next round, or will the 17th name in the original request be brought in this late to replace him?

Since Marino is not with us anymore.  Pavelow would like to put his name forward to be considered a fill.  Pavelow promisses to give Luca a challenge and a  fight worthwhile.  Thanks for your consideration.  

I got $100k on Castro, $200k on VinoGandor, and $300k on Mrs-Doubtfire.

Who do I send bets to?
