FNF (Round 1): M9 results and The Voice (Centaur) vs. Osakan Riot

Round 1, Match 9 results

Initially, I really thought this would be a pretty even match.  First, I have to acknowledge that I've read neither Contest of Champions #3 nor Flash #124.  Thus, in both cases, I'm having to base my judgement based on others' synopses of the tales.  With that caveat, I really thought this would've been a more even match, but now--despite being a fan of Peregrine--this looks to me like a pretty easy win for Captain Boomerang.

In the two tales referenced, we have a non-superpowered dude who's repeatedly given the Flash trouble and learned how to throw a boomerang through time, going up against a non-superpowered guy who was defeated by the Angel once the latter was able to secure a stick!? If a stick is all it takes to tip the scales, then tossing a boomerang through time should pretty much wrap it up.

Boomerang for the win!









Round 1, Match 10
In Week 10 we have another contest between the old-timers--represented by Centaur's Golden Age character, The Voice and Osakan Riot, the mysterious ally of independent webcomic heroine Miss Melee.

Setting
This fight takes place when these two bump into each other on a largely abandoned rural dirt road.  There's a small country church building nearby, but otherwise nothing but woods and animals.
