While we await our marching orders and the judging of the top DJ of “G7: Fight Music”, it’s time to put the quarters away, unplug the jukebox, and close the club down. I guess that makes this the fight in the parking lot. Tell Doc Brown that we have to go Bahlactus in time to check out more thrilling fights of yesteryear. The theme this time was “Knockout”. This tournament was a bit different. Each month the winning entry received a different graphic novel, so in addition to my favorites, I’ll be including the winning fight of the round. 6 rounds this week, 6 next week. It’s time for the best of the still-linkable as decided by the BW Media Spotlight (in other words, me).

And that was the first six rounds. As of this writing, Spacebooger hasn’t put up the grand champion posting yet, but when he does, please go and vote for the overall winner of “G7: Fight Music? There haven’t been a lot of voters, and even fewer participants this tournament. Hopefully, the next one gets everybody going.
