Not sure what to think about
Boulton's self-inflicted nipple pinch, opening...
but what followed was an intense, nasty, back, and forth draw
between two experienced, and evenly matched heavies.

Great fight and even better work by the linesmen to stay out of it.

I hate to declare a winner with a fight like that with two guys throwing them like that. Lets call it a draw and an 8. Nice way to go into the Christmas season.

I love the way Boulton led off with the right....
He saw Thornton doing a little bounce as he got ready and timed it perfectly.
What followed afterwards was just fun to watch...
Two good respectable guys earning their living.
An absolute Draw.

what a solid scrap....very fun to watch

i have to call it a draw since both guys seemed to land punches and i really couldn't give either guy a win in this great tilt

Thornton gets the slight edge in this great tilt, and this really affected the game's outcome, as the B's won big and Thornton had two goals.

Great battle, Thornton having a great season so far and Boulton not far behind him. Good tilt.

Nice scrap. Not sure why Boulton was looking like a chicken with a gimp wing in the square off though.

Lol fightnign on Christmas, SHAME GUYS LOL.
EDGE/NARROW WIN Thornton as he landed more the punches.

Thorton had a hell of a fight and 2 goals,boultons been in this racket a long time,i like seeing the scrappers reach their games played quota for their pension.but i dont think he will make it,but hes been a gamer a long time.

Great fight between two "honest" heavies. A lot of punches thrown by both with authority but not much damage to either so i'm going with a draw. Both players have been very impressive this year (fighting and scoring!) and match up well against each other.
