Round 2, Match 6 results
I would've given this one to Mockingbird. She's SHIELD trained...that's nothing to sneeze at. Second, the fight is taking place on the Helicarrier. It would seem to me she'd have whatever "homefield advantage" there might be. Third, the woman has held her own with the Avengers going up against Avengers-level foes. I'm just not sure how much time Prowler has spent fighting in that league. Finally, in the specified issues, the most Prowler does is take on the Black Fox, an aging basically non-violent European cat burgler. In contrast, Mockingbird spent the referenced issues helping the West Coast Avengers go up against a bevy of old Eastern Bloc villains.
However, in this tournament votes trump the judgements of your benign blog master. Much to my surprise and chagrin, the audience far and away awarded this one to Prowler. Hobie Brown goes to the next round!
Quarterfinals, Match 1
Things are getting serious now, dear reader. This week's match represents the first of the quarterfinal round. It pits Marvel's mystic man the Black Crow against the MLJ's Golden Age guru the Wizard! Who has the magic? That's your choice, my friend.

Setting
This fight takes place in an undersea cave full of great mystical power. Though there is breathable air in the cave, it is running out quickly. Whoever is going to win this fight had better get on with it...before BOTH heroes asphyxiate!
