Author: Jooney It was a quiet night at Game On, but a heated one nonetheless. Taking up the fight for The Drop Bears in the blue corner was Starks (aka Kid Cylon) and GODB "Why Can't We Be Friends?" Jooney. And in the red corner, representing the Game On Staff, Samwise ii Am, Smokin' Joe Nightmare and his apprentice, Cassius JoJo. The initial rounds, where all fighters versed each other once in vicious 6 x 3 minute rounds were full of pure boxing spectacle. Starks was like a doormat to JoJo, who flash KO'd him twice in the first round for a humiliating first round knockout. Nightmare took it to Jesus (aka Smick) with his favourtie fighter, Joe Frazier, employing his big left hand hooks that could indeed bring down a building. The JoJo vs Jooney round match was a technical affair, full of fast feet, jab combos, leaning, swerving, ducking and weaving. It was enough to make a boxing purist like Psykerpath (who was in full spectator mode) cry. Jooney threw his left jab fast and often, and proved decisive in this two round affair. Sam and Starks ended up fighting for the (delicious) wooden spoon. Unfortunately, our Kid Cylon was graciously defeated. On the bright side, the Drop Bears got to take home a wooden spoon ... Now, all but 4 fighters were left in the elimination stages. In one match, there was a strength vs speed, in the Nightmare vs JoJo bout. The other saw speed vs guts, in the Jooney vs Jesus grudge match. The latter match was painful. Our lord and saviour couldn't pull out a miracle punch to knock out Jooney. He succumbed in the 2nd round after putting up a valiant fight. The former match was the shock upset of the day. JoJo tried to go toe-to-toe with Smokin' Joe Nightmare, which proved fatal in this upset-of-upsets. One! Two! Three! Four! body hits in a row to JoJo's fragile body saw him collapse to the mat by the third round. JoJo left the fight bitterly, biting his tongue and vowing revenge. And so the stage was set. Nightmare vs Jooney. A Clash of the Titans. Man-o on Man-o. A case of Big Men Behaving Badly. The bell rang. Smokin' Joe Nightmare trudged forward with the determination of the axe-weilding villian that he is. Jooney lightly danced, pranced, and glided across the mat in his usual school-boy manner. Nightmare swung! but his fist only met thin air. He swung the right again, this time Jooney ducked under it like he was doing the Limbo. Then, a glimmer in Nightmare's eye. He planted his feet, and slowly, slowly, his left arm arched backward. And with all his might, his body began to contort, and rock from back to forth. Smokin' Joe Nightmare was about to deliver his signature left-hooked haymaker. The crowd gasped. Starks cowered behind the safety of the couch, pleading "I Just Can't Watch!". And then, at the last possible moment, just when it looked like leather was going to make a sickening impact on flesh, Jooney swerved back, and delivered a counter haymaker of his own. Joga Bonito! cried Sam in awe. Joga Bonito ... It was all over. Two rounds of pain later and the victor was assured. Jooney - overweight, ageing, balding, sloppily dressed, but still, Game On Fight Night Champion! Thanks to everybody who came and made it a good night. And thanks to Game On Staff for holding another cool event.
