Nick Valentine stepped out into the street and pulled out the smallest step stool he could then stood atop it with a flyer. 

"Hello all I'm not here to take up too much of your time, but I would like to announce something I've been working on. After finally getting the venue locked down, I'd like to tell you all of the next Boxing tournament. It's been a while since the last, ran by the recently late Godfather Chairman Sniffler may he rest in peace. We spoke before his death many times of this event, and due to my own laziness he passed before this event was announced. Due to this the prizes will all be increased by one million dollars to honor his memory."

Nick steps off his stool, and hands his flyer to one of his bodyguards to post.

Badger had never boxed, and therefore he had never been in a boxing tournament - but fuck was he ever bored.

He walked in and signed his name on a form to get him involved. He thought that he might even be able to impress the bossman.  

Hell yeah!

Tupac started throwing punches in the air

Im in no doubt. Here’s some cash for you.

Angelo walked up and signed his name. He was excited as he had a black belt in taekwondo and kickboxing so he felt like this would go to brush off some of the old skills

Hirostev always heard about the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas and saw a sign-up for the boxing competition. Though he mainly fought his battles with a gun, he thought he'd give his fists a try. He walked up to Nick-Valentine who was organizing the event and paid the $100,000 fee.

Lucy noticed a gathering and decided to check out what the hype was about. Lucy heard the rules and regulations for this new tournament style event. Her eyes peeled at @Nick_Valentine while he spoke with interest.

"Nick, Can I enter? I will have money wired to your account for my entry fee." she said as she made a call.

"Nadia, please send over One Hundred Thousand dollars to @Nick_Valentine and let me know when the transaction has been completed.

Lucy got off the phone with her banker and assured Nick he would have the money in his account today.

Nick steps back into the streets with yet another flyer and a few words.

"First off I'd like to thank everyone who signed up, we had quite a good turn out having 14 fighters! I'll be posting a flyer here with the first round, since we didn't have 16 like I'd hope. We had two lucky fighters who will get a first round bye. Drum rolls please?"

Two little people dressed in red and white strips step out, and begin drumming.

"Congratulations to Badger and Johnny Shots, we will be seeing them in round 2."

Nicks claps, smiles to the group before turning to place the flyer on the wall behind him.

Operation Knockout Round 1

SilentAssassin VS JamesHowlett

Aethersix VS Madaganga

Angelo Corelone VS SwaggDinero

Bogdan VS Paddy Pitruzzello

Lucy VS Soul Holligan

Tupac VS Darth Vader

"I'd like to wish everyone luck in the fights! I look forward to seeing you all these!" 

Dynamite walked past a sign that caught his eye that read, "Operation Knockout". He looked down and saw a small stepstool with a handwritten sign that said, "back in five minutes, went to find a restroom. Well, may be more than five minutes depending on how it goes but I will be back either way - Nick-Valentine".

Dynamite stood there people-watching as he waited. After ten minutes or so, a man walked up to the handwritten note, crumbled it and tossed it in the trash.

"Excuse me, do you know if they are still accepting sign-ups?" Dynamite asked.

I just wanna say somethings out loud in case i lose its StripheCorelli fault.
He took away bacon from me :( very important in any professionel fighter diet 

Sitting behind his desk eating a plate of bacon he was laughing

I am rooting for you Madaganga even if you do not have your super power bacon protein!

Dynamite saw he missed the deadline but saw the Round 1 schedule. If he could not participate, he wanted to watch the fights as he knew there were some good contenders. He could hear some of the fighters with their entourages as they got hyped up.

Tupac smiled as he looked at the fight announcement. He looked over and watched as DarthVader raised his fist. Tupac was uncertain if this was something that was of joy or frustration. Then he watched as the numerous bodyguards around Vader were celebrating.  This upset Tupac to the point that he decided to put out a notice to the fight viewers in attendance. 

First off fuk the Dark Side and those goofy ass bodyguards you call storm troopers. See when yall send shots you can’t hit, when I take shots I can’t miss. You and your little troopers want act like your the storm, we the motherfuckin storm and imma blast on all you fools in that ring. You can extend your arm all you want and shake your fist but when my uppercut connects you’ll be seeing death stars! See you betrayed all your closest homies cause you’re a fake, a phony. I’ll put on a clinic whooping that ass so bad you will call me your father. See you claim to be the dark side but the only dark side you’re going to see is the back of your eye lids when I put your bitch ass to sleep. 

Tupac made the letter W appear with his fingers and laughed pointing at the storm troopers As he proceeded to prepare for training against Vader.

Dynamite could see all the crowd cheering for Tupac as he gave his speech and all the photographers with all their flashes taking pictures. “Boy, I’m definitely going to stick around because these are going to be some good fights,” Dynamite thought to himself. He then wondered how his gambling degenerate self could make bets on who would win.

Operation Knockout: Round One

The audience was ready for the fights to begin in Las Vegas and to see the bright lights on the ring with fighters going after one another. Well it was finally that time as the crowd saw Nick Valentine entering the ring to announce the fights. "Ladies and Gentlemen I'd like to welcome you to the first round of our tournament today! I'm sure the fighters will put on a great show. Now I know you're here to see them not me so let's get right into it!" Nick hands off the microphone to the announcer, and exits the ring. 

SilentAssassin V.S. JamesHowlett

" In the red corner fighting out of Paradise, Las Vegas fighting in the name of the Devil Hunters. SilentAssassin! " the local crowd begins to cheer. "In the blue corner fighting out of The Strip Leader of the Oppai Research Force. James Howlett!"

Both men leave their respective corners rather slowly, almost as tho they weren't quite sure if they wanted to fight or not. After a long period of sizing one another up, they traded respectable blows. With Silent Assassin getting the better of James. The second round was sadly just as uneventful, neither fighter was very successful with their takedowns nor strikes. With Silent Assassin winning that round too, James knew for round 3 he'd have to come out faster and try to get a knockout. This round was much better with both fighters exchanging blows, they both got as good as they were given tho. I mean seriously in this third round these guys beat the crap out of each other, with James winning the round. Tough loss for him, given a quicker start or an extra round chance are he could've knockout SilentAssassin out. Though when the fight ended and a decision was made, Silent Assassin won the fight.

Winner: SilentAssassin

Meta Data: R1 (S 76 HP,J 63 HP), R2 (S 45 HP, J 21 HP), R3 (S 6 HP, J 3 HP)

Aethersix V.S. Madaganga

"In the red corner also fighting out of Paradise, Las Vegas fighting in the name of Synth City. Aethersix!" the local crowd begins cheering for another fighter from their area. "In the blue corner fighting out of South Philly The Left Hand Man of The DERANGED. Madaganga!" the crowd cheers for the man because they were also all deranged.

These two fighters came out at a much different pace, practically running at each other Aethersix connected with a powerful right hand from the moment they met. They quickly took their fight to the ground where aethersix laid on a vicious ground and pound. Madaganga took a beating, but finally got to his feet. Once the two fighters were standing, Madaganga starting doing some damage of his own but the bell went off before he was able to press his advantage. Aethersix clearly won round one. In the second round Madaganga came out with a vengeance, and laid it all out there on the line. Nearly jumping across the ring to chase Aethersix anything he tried to break contact. Aethersix wasn't able to get anything going in round two. In round 3 the fighters came out aggressive, ready to finish the fight. Madaganga started out hot, but Aethersix waited patiently for the perfect shot. He finally got his opportunity, when Madaganga lowered his guard to go for a takedown. Aethersix got a clean shot, and scored a knockout on Madaganga.

Winner: Aethersix

Meta Data: R1 (A 72 HP, M 55 HP), R2 (A 39 HP, M 36 HP), R3 (A 17 HP, M 5 HP)

Angelo Corelone V.S. SwaggDinero

"In the red corner fighting out of Corktown, Detroit fighting in the name of the Ligambi Crime family" the announcer takes a breath "Denaro crew. Angelo Corelone!" the crowd erupts very loudly as the Ligambi crime family was known in all parts of the country. "Out of the blue corner also.. wait also fighting out of Paradise. Wait did the whole damn town come out to fight tonight? Anyways the most badass, the coolest, the guy who always has a hurt back from carrying his CL. The best right hand in the country, Swagggggggg Dineroo!" the announcer looks to see if Nick is paying attention. "Sorry he paid me to say all that." the crowd let's out a mix of laughter and cheers for the well known fighter.

The fight got off to a crazy start both men met in the middle and just began swinging. Trading blow after blow neither fighter willing to back down, finally Angelo connected with a lethal right hand that sent Swagg to the ground. "Get Up!" Angelo yelled, Swagg got up and ran at Angelo picking him up and slamming him to the ground. Angelo was able to flip his guard, then get on top of Swagg and begin a very vicious ground and point. The round ended before his was able to secure a TKO, but it was getting close! Angelo won round one, the beginning of round two started the same way both men meeting in the middle and just throwing bombs. Though this time Swagg was able to knock Angelo to the ground, and was able to control the fight much better. He slowed the pacing a bit, while trying different submissions and strikes. He clearly controlled round two. The third round began just as the other two had, both men met in the middle. They were putting everything they had into those strikes and just throwing recklessly, neither man guarding when suddenly they both connected with powerful strikes. Sending both men to the ground, Swagg Dinero was knocked out cold. Angelo was barely awake, but he was awake and declared the winner by knockout! The crowd went wild at the ending because this was very possibly the fight of the night!

Winner: Angelo Corelone

Meta Data: R1 (A 58 HP, S 45 HP), R2 (A 21 HP, S 16 HP), R3 (A 3 HP, S 1 HP)

"In the red corner fighting out of Bricktown, Detroit the right hand man of the Ligambi Crime family Viterelli Crew. Bogdan! In the blue corner fighting out of South Side Chicago fighting in the name of Bebop XIV: Firestarters. Paddy Pitruzzelo!"

As the bell rang, Paddy unleashed a flurry of quick jabs, catching Bogdan off guard and dealing significant damage. Bogdan retaliated with a powerful hook that sent Paddy reeling, but the fighter managed to stay on his feet. Before taking absolute control of the round doing significant damage. In the second round, both fighters exchanged heavy blows. Bogdan's crushing right cross nearly took Paddy out, but the resilient fighter held on by sheer willpower. Paddy countered with a series of well-placed body shots that left Bogdan gasping for air. Bogdan took a real beating in the round but managed to hold his own until the bell rang. At the start of the third round though it was clear he was gassed out, and Paddy took control of the situation and knocked Bogdan out handedly. Bogdan's eyes rolled back as he collapsed to the canvas. The referee counted to ten, and the crowd erupted in cheers.

Winner: Paddy Pitruzzello

Meta Data: R1 (B 62 HP, P 48 HP), R2 (B 17 HP, P 19 HP), R3 (B 0 HP, P 4 HP)

Lucy V.S. Soul Hooligan

"In the red corner fighting out of you guessed it Paradise in the name of Synth City. Lucy!" Lucy was a nice local girl known around town who garnered alot of attention so she got quite the cheer. "In the blue corner fighting out the Old City District in Philadelphia. Soul Hooligan!"

The arena was getting a bit rowdy as it was later into the night, people had been drinking. All of a sudden you hear a fan yell out from the crowd. "Somebody rip someones head off!" then throws his beer can at the cage. After getting that man his keys and another beer the bell rang and we were ready to get round one underway. The first round Lucy starts out fast and I mean really fast, she hits Soul for or five times with very powerful shots before he gets a single hit on her. She dances around him using her quickness and got alot of good early body shots in. Soul knew he just needed to land one knockout blow on her to end this thing tho. He begins moving a bit slower and waits for his chance using defense and timing instead of trying to win it early he was going to tire her out. The round ends with Lucy clearly winning. For the second round it was alot like the first Lucy dancing around getting in a lot of good hits tho Soul managed to land more than he did in the first. Lucy was beginning to tire though and Soul noticed it. He knew by the third round she wouldn't be able to keep this up. The third round Lucy came out as fast as she could she was landing a bunch of shots fast trying to get a knockout blow. She connects a hook with Soul's nose breaking it! Soul snaps immediately back and begins an angry barrage of his own. Lefts and rights connect for him, sending Lucy to the ground for a beautiful knockout. The crowd goes wild for Soul!

Winner: Soul Hooligan 

Meta Data: R1 (L 70 HP, S 55 HP), R2 (L 30 HP, S 15 HP), R3 (L -30 HP,S -5 HP)

Tupac V.S. Darth Vader

"In the red corner fighting out of Summerlin, Las Vegas the right hand man of The Talon Circle. In the blue corner fighting out of the Strip, right hand man of Oppai Research Force." The crowd cheers for both of the local fighters. 

In an impossible crossover of universes, the legendary rapper Tupac Shakur faced off against the Sith Lord Darth Vader in a battle that defied all logic. From the first moment, it was clear this was no ordinary fight Tupac's lyrical prowess clashed against Vader's dark side power. In the first round, both fighters exchanged blows, each landing significant hits. But it was clear Vader was getting the better of Tupac. However, in the second round, Darth Vader unleashed a devastating combination that left Tupac reeling right at the start of the round. With a final, crushing blow, Vader knocked Tupac to the ground within one minute of the round starting, securing a second-round knockout and proving his dominance in this epic showdown. The crowd was left in awe as Vader stood victorious, and erupted in cheers as the first round of the tournament drew to a close.

Lucy walks onto the streets after her loss to Soul_Hooligan. Humiliated at first, she took the loss in stride once she came out into the public.

"I want to thank @Nick_Valentine for running this tournament! Unfortunately, it wasn't my time. I will now go back into hiding to train for the next boxing tournament. I will train harder and faster! I have my eyes set on the tournament championship!" she says.

"I also want to thank Soul_Hooligan for a great matchup. I will get you next time" she says jokingly.

Dynamite walked back up to the location where the match was being held for Round 2. He noticed a plaque at the entrance that commemorated lives lost including the boxers. Dynamite paid his respects and walked off.
