Much to their chagrin, and the hilarity of the real sports in town, they ended up with a handful of amateurs, failed pros and tavern brawlers and the entire enterprise collapsed before the first round of "games could be played". Perhaps their fathers should have told them that boxers don't play.

I'm really enjoying these little snapshots of your universe, Cap. Especially the one above, which was very amusing. I think it's pretty clear that Joe is going to kill everyone on his way to the Championship, although I'm still looking forward to hearing about it. It'll be interesting to see what happens once the tournament is over and in which direction you go.
I was just wondering what year your universe is set in, as there aren't any dates on the posts in thsi thread or in "Cap's Journal".
