Jim Vandermeer vs Krys Barch

Surprised that Barch even wanted a ''round 2''

after Vandemeer handily proved, once again,

that he remains a threat, to middleweight wanna-be's everywhere.

Vandy had him tied up in a bundle.

Vandermeer is fun to watch, he could always throw them win or lose. Just doesn't do it much anymore. He was one mean dude in his junior days and continued it in the NHL. Fun middleweight.

Looking at the replay, this could have been a good one...
Like the way they mutually gave it to the linesmen,
Both throwing equally but felt Vandermeer delivered the faster and crisper punches.
Props to both, slightest edge to Vanermeer.

Vandermeer has had many classic fights. Barch is the kind of guy that is very willing. I was hoping for another classic here, but the linesmen came in and stopped it. Why not let the guy get up and fight?

vandermeer took what their was, its really a shame the stripes jumped in like they did. boy these two wanted to go. they opened up for just a minute and it was a piece of art. barch says, thats balony, just to show you turds how mad i am, i'm going after that big italian when i get out of the big house.

"Cmon Ref!" to quote the late great Gorilla Monsoon...win Vandy the Axe Murderer

i have to give the decision to Vandy. I have to say i was surprised with the outcome.

I see these guys as equal overall and this fight is a slight edge to Vandermeer. Barch would do well in the future not to want to continue once his rear end hits the ice though because Vandermeer definately has always had Energizer bunny stamina. It would have gotten uglier for Krys had the zebras not galloped in.

Big Jim did a number on Barchy here.

Vote Quimby.

May have been a different outcome if it was allowed to continue but Vandermeer with the edge.

This could have been great had they both not suddenly put skate guards on. They had more to give...but the refs didn't think so.

JV is a good solid fighter, plus I hate Barch, I wish he would have gotten up for some more rights/lefts
