"A civilized sport for discernin' gentle-folk."
Boxing may have put an air of legitimacy on the age-old street tussle; but in the end, everyone knows Calidor loves a fight, even when it has rules. The rumor mill turns once more; there's talk of an exhibition boxing match to be held on stage at the infamous Sinkhole. So far, it's mostly speculation. The prizefighters have yet to be announced. Everyone seems to know only one name: Ev Carver, the tough-as-nails dockside lass promoting the match. The gamblers of Calidor - of course - have their eyes on any new opportunity to win or lose fortunes - and this will be no exception.
Rules
Scoring
A match goes for up to seven rounds or to knockout. Each round will last one minute followed by a minute's rest period. Rounds are scored as follows:
Knockout (brought to 0 HP) or three knockdowns in the same round will end the match, with the fighter still standing declared the winner. Otherwise, the fighter with the most points wins.
Anyone interested in fighting should seek out Evelyn. Unarmed fighters are welcome, but so are brand new alts or PCs with no unarmed who want to try their hand at it.
