Looks over at Armageddon.

"Nice of you to rejoin us after saying your bit and leaving quick enough that no-one could question your judgement. I do hope you can back the talk, I've seen plenty of people around here that are all bark and no bite."

Smiles at Armageddon, the type of smile that could put fear into the eyes of god himself.

SPECIAL BONUS BET, LIMITED TIME ONLY

As Round 1 is yet to begin, now would be the perfect time to declare your faith in who you feel will win the ENTIRE contest.

Thats right folks, I'm offering the chance to bet on the winner of the entire thing. Higher odds, higher stakes to match the higher risk.

All fighters are placed equally at 5/1. The max bet is set at 250k.

Again, for those unaccustomed to such things;

Fighter A to Win the 9th Round Boxing Contest, 5/1, Stake 250k - Returns 1.5 million (includes profit of 1.25 million and stake of 250k)

This offer will remain open until the first round of matches. Odds and possibly stakes will then be lowered prior to the start of the 2nd round of fights, as less fighters will ensure higher chance of success.

Tyrions accountant kicks him in the nuts and demands the money passed over by Ragnarok

My bad, I hadnt even noticed you drop that in my pocket my friend, good luck with your fight!

The Hulkster walks to check on who he would be facing! in the upcoming competition of boxing. As he scrolled the first time he didnt see his name.

Well shoot brother i cant find it!

scrolling a second time he found his name matched up against warwick. He was somewhat pleased with his first fight. He thought it might prove to be a good enough test to see if he could make it to the final round once more like he had done in the past. All of a sudden From behind he heard a man trying to sound like him. it was warwick doing the worst impression of Hulk known to man.

Well you know something brother, that was perhaps the worst impression i have ever heard! Even this guy who lives in his moms basement! has a better impression of the hulkster then you brotherYou know brother when i signed up for the competition i recognized one of two things would end up happening, 1. i would win the boxing competition or 2. i would win the boxing competition. Now brother you gotta see that Hulk-A-Mania has always dominated the Boxing competitions for as long as he has been around! Hulk Hogan does it for the little Hulksters dude and no one man is going to stop me brother not even you dude!

The Hulkster proceeds to flex and rip off his shirt. And then Takes pictures with Warwick! before the event would take place!

Now Whatchya gonna do when Hulk-A-Mania runs wild on you Warwick!?

Paranoia overhears AntDaCapo and looks to him

We will see how it goes in the ring. I do wish you the best of luck though....Its not in my nature to bash my opponent with such language.

He smiles showing some respect to the lad as he goes back to eating his popcorn

When's fight night? I'm ready to rumble.

Ladyfighter sits down in her office and sees all the fighters argueing about the sudden death of Surreal. Ladyfighter speaks up to explain what she is going to do.

"Of course a logical replacement would be that Luger fights Mr-Adams, but what most of you do not understand is that in a tournament you will have to work to a final with 2 fighters.
That means a semi-final with 4 fighters and quarter finals with 8 fighters.

At the start of the competition there were 23 fighters, and I added a bye to get to 24 fighters.
After the first round that would give 12 fighters and after second round it will end up with 6 fighters. I can then decide to make 2 poules of 3 fighter and that will give me a final with 2 fighters and after that a winner.

So lets start the first round and see who will win."

1st fight:
Luger (PH) vs Surreal (DT)

Since Surreal got killed, Luger has a free round.

2nd fight:
Aidan (PH) vs WhereAmI (LA)

Aidan entered the ring with big confidence that he would win from WhereAmI. Not impressed at all WhereAmI looked at Aidan and when the round started, he failed to react quickly. Aidan took advantage of this failure and got WhereAmI in a severe defense position. WhereAmI was not able to turn around the fight in his favor and he lost.

Aidan (PH) vs WhereAmI (LA) - 20-2

3rd fight:
Sanction (PH) vs Phil_Steak (NO)

Sanction started the fight with a strong left hand hit, but Phil_Steak easily avoided that attack. It almost looked if Sanction had been listening to The_Gent too much and was a bit lazy in his defense. Easy win for Phil_Steak.

Sanction (PH) vs Phil_Steak (NO) - 2-7

4th fight:
kurgan (PH) vs Biglipsfredie (NY)

kurgan has been spotted in a backalley gym, very well hidden, but Ladyfighter had seen him there. Biglipsfredie thought he could have a simple fight, because kurgan never showed up in the arena to train. That was a mistake on Biglipsfredie side. kurgan was ready to fight and did very well.

kurgan (PH) vs Biglipsfredie (NY) - 20-9

5th fight:
Renekton (PH) vs TyrionLannister (DT)

TyrionLannister was called to the ring twice before he came. In his backpocket you could see he had been counting his money. In the ring he looked at his opponent, twice his length and just laughed. But that laughing ended real fast when Renekton showed his boxing skills.

Renekton (PH) vs TyrionLannister (DT) - 10-4

6th fight:
Mr-Adams (PH) vs bye

Mr-Adams can train a bit for his fight next round.

7th fight:
Hogan (PH) vs Warwick (LA)

The fight of the round, as was announced by both fighters. Hogan had been away from the boxing competition for a long time and wants to make his come-back this time. Warwick had been training so much that he came in the ring, looking a bit tired. But Hogan seemed to have lost a little bit of his boxing skills. Not happy with the result, he promised everyone he will be back to shine next time.

Hogan (PH) vs Warwick (LA) - 13-16

8th fight:
Kagura (PH) vs Ragnarok (NO)

Ragnarok was already anctious to fight all day and when his name was called to come to the ring he almost ran to enter the arena. Kagura, a more silent fighter, did not know what to do with the overactive Ragnarok and lost his fight.

Kagura (PH) vs Ragnarok (NO) - 2-8

9th fight:
AntDaCapo (PH) vs ParanoiaAgent (NY)

ParanoiaAgent was a respectfull fighter, but also a strong one, AntDaCapo seemed to be worried a little bit. ParanoiaAgent started fighting very fast, but was not prepared to the sneaky move AntDaCapo performed.

AntDaCapo (PH) vs ParanoiaAgent (NY) - 15-3

10th fight:
Revolve (DT) vs Armageddon (LA)

It was obvious that Revolve had been training a lot. He showed some professional boxing moves and Armageddon did what he could, but could not win this match.

Revolve (DT) vs Armageddon (LA) - 15-10

11th fight:
UncleJack (DT) vs Frank_Sinatra (NO)

Frank_Sinatra walked to the arena and grabbed Ladyfighters microphone and started singing. This suprised UncleJack so much he forgot to put on his defense. Frank_Sinatra hit him really hard.

UncleJack (DT) vs Frank_Sinatra (NO) - 8-20

12th fight:
Valium (LA) vs Philli-Stein (NO)

This became an interesting fight. Both fighters had skills that were very close to each other.

Valium (LA) vs Philli-Stein (NO) - 5-9


All results:

Luger (PH) vs Surreal (DT)
Aidan (PH) vs WhereAmI (LA) - 20-2
Sanction (PH) vs Phil_Steak (NO) - 2-7
kurgan (PH) vs Biglipsfredie (NY) - 20-9
Renekton (PH) vs TyrionLannister (DT) - 10-4
Mr-Adams (PH) vs bye
Hogan (PH) vs Warwick (LA) - 13-16
Kagura (PH) vs Ragnarok (NO) - 2-8
AntDaCapo (PH) vs ParanoiaAgent (NY) - 15-3
Revolve (DT) vs Armageddon (LA) - 15-10
UncleJack (DT) vs Frank_Sinatra (NO) - 8-20
Valium (LA) vs Philli-Stein (NO) - 5-9

Which makes the list of fighters for next round:

Luger (PH)
Aidan (PH)
Phil_Steak (NO)
kurgan (PH)
Renekton (PH)
Mr-Adams (PH)
Warwick (LA)
Ragnarok (NO)
AntDaCapo (PH)
Revolve (DT)
Frank_Sinatra (NO)
Philli-Stein (NO)

To avoid people from same city fight each other, the next rounds pairing is:

Luger (PH) vs Phil_Steak (NO)
Aidan (PH) vs Warwick (LA)
kurgan (PH) vs Ragnarok (NO)
Renekton (PH) vs Revolve (DT)

Good showing by my New Orleans brethern!

Aye clean sweep from New Orleans; Their Godfather put his money where his mouth was and stuck money on all his homies to win.

"AntDaCapo, good work to you in the last round. but i'm afraid your run has to end now."

Philli-Stein goes to train for his next fight.

Renekton smiles with the results but adds

'Good fight imp , shame you're losing so much coin aswell'

'Miss , Lady-fighter , i'm a chicago resident , not a philly one miss'

Renekton smiles at the small error

Kurgan had hardly left the HQ he knew he was more then a match for biglipfredie besides he had it covered Neon had some dirt on the judges that they never wanted exposed so Kurgan entered the fight confident of a victory.

As luck would have it Biglipsfredie lead with his chin early in the 2nd Round which Kurgan took full advantage of, Kurgan left the ring and Joined Seph and Neon to celebrate anther victory for Starry Night Inc

11th fight:
UncleJack (DT) vs Frank_Sinatra (NO)

Frank_Sinatra walked to the arena and grabbed Ladyfighters microphone and started singing. This suprised UncleJack so much he forgot to put on his defense. Frank_Sinatra hit him really hard.

UncleJack (DT) vs Frank_Sinatra (NO) - 8-20

Jack bows out with his ears ringing in more ways than one....

Damn crooners!

All the same, well done Mr Sinatra. Good luck in the next round sir.

Jack bows his exit and goes off to find some Blues to listen to and maybe visit the local audiologist.

You put up a clean fight Jack but old blue eyes hit harder. Thank you.

The return of Mr. Albert returns to action. He comes up to a randomly opponet that happens to be Hogan; crying. Mr. Albert skips across the room and drop kicks Hogan from behind. Then, leaving the scene in a flash!

is this still on?

T-Man had heard the competition was starting up soon and was excited when he heard Ladyfighter talking. T-Man was hoping for the 9th round to start soon.


Sign me up Ladyfighter. I can't wait to see who I will be fighting.

T-Man leaves the arena and disappears into the heavy mist.

You've missed the boat on that one, T-Man. This contest is already under way!

Jack hears on the grapevine that the next round of the famous competition is imminent.

Enjoying the sport greatly, despite the constaints which the Queensbury Rules enforce, Jack strolls around looking for a bookmaker.

Rumour has it that the shortage of takers is due to a curse placed upon those who see fit to try and gain financially from the competition. However, Jack isn't superstitious....

Removing his fedora and nodding to a few friends he sees standing nearby Jack raises his voice just enough to cause a stir.

My fellow mafiosa I am sure, like myself, you do not believe in such superstitions, omens and myths.

There is, I am sure, no such curse and I eagerly await the odds on the next round to be announced here on this street real soon.

With his money seemingly burning a hole in his pocket Jack replaces his hat and strolls away looking for the nearest post office although nobody believes for one moment that he's about to make a deposit....

Everytime this boxing gets bumped.. folk seem to die.

Are we cursed?
