members only please.

What?: A contest for tonight's fight on PPV: Jermain "Bad Intentions" Taylor (24-0, 17 KOs) versus Bernard "The Executioner" Hopkins (46-3-1, 32 KOs) from the Mandalay Bay in fabulous Las Vegas, Nevada. The "No Respect" fight is for the World Middleweight championship. This is the second fight for these two. In the first fight on 07/16/2005, Taylor won in a split decision.

Who?: Contest is open to all members. The first 15 members who link their name and # in the Subject line to this post are entered. Any emails sent to me will be ignored. I cannot be responsible for any system issues that delay posting times. The first 15 valid entries I see are in.

How?: I will take the 15 names and in a random drawing, assign each either a 14 second interval (1-14 seconds, 15-29 seconds, etc.) or "no contest", "decision" or "draw". Whoever is in the right spot when the fight ends is the winner.

What's the prize?: Winner takes the prize package shown below:

How do I win the "Rocky doll" bonus?: When posting your name and number, also put in the round # when you think the fight will end (1-12). If you win the contest based on the time the fight ends, you win the prize package. If you also get the round correct, you win the Rocky doll bonus. Obviously if the fight ends in a "no contest", "decision" or "draw", no one can win the bonus. You need to win the first part of the contest to be eligible for the bonus. Pick any round between 1-12, it does not matter if the round # you want has already been picked.

Once I get the 15 contestants, I will post the drawing results and provide more detail on the rules. Good luck!
