The weekend may be over, but the festival just keeps on going! Over at the KNUCKLE Fantastic Debates, things got heated as competitors from around the world entered the ring to vie for the hearts and souls of the audience, then don a pair of gloves and try to make their opponent cough up blood. The challenges have been issued and accepted, the stage has been set...
Dominic Monaghan (promoting his film 'The Day') has an interesting pre-fight tradition:
While James Quinn McDonagh (star of the sponsor film 'KNUCKLE') announces his intentions:
Enough talk - let's fight!
Update! Here's the Elijah Wood / Dominic Monaghan fight in detail:
As the combatants left the ring, bodies and egos bruised, the dust settled and the crowd voted, revealing the winners of this year's KNUCKLE Fantastic Debates. They are as follows:
BOUT 1:
Astrophysicist Andy Howell vs. "F**K NASA" Hunter
To defend the honor of NASA
Winner: Andy Howell
Proving that NASA is indeed the greatest.
BOUT 2:
Nathan Zellner vs. David Zellner
The brothers battle to decide whether humans or robots are truly superior
Winner: Nathan Zellner
With some help from "Medium Wonder" (pics below), he proves that
we should all start bowing to our robotic superiors now.
BOUT 3:
Elijah Wood vs. Dominic Monaghan
The biggest bout this side of Mirkwood, the former Fellowship members
debate whether popular MMORPG World of Warcraft is a waste of time.
Winner: Dominic Monaghan
Merry massacred Frodo to prove that a billion WoW players can't be wrong.
MAIN EVENT:
Fantastic Fest's Tim League vs. bare-knuckle brawler James Quinn McDonagh
Who's tougher - a Texan or an Irishman?

Austin's finest once again triumphs in the face of adversity
