Matt Martin vs Stu Bickel

Bickel early, Martin late...in a promising bout,
that descended into a disappointing,
body-punch, head-lock, festival.

Reminds me of that spoof song...
''I don't want a pickle,
just wanna drive my motor - (sickle),
I don't wanna be fickle,
just wanna drive my motor - (sickle),
I don't wanna die,
just wanna drive my motor - cy...
(kul).

I almost gave it to MM for the rear end shot at the end.

Started out good and devolved into headlocks

win Flick my Bick...decent middleweight bout

all MARTIN must be a lot of ranger fans here .so easy to bait certain guys here .MARTIN wins .he landed a couple a decent ones .not sure BICKEL landed anything on the button.

Good spirited bout, Bickel had the better of the early exchange but Martin finished well, I'm going with the draw.

good long fight but Bickel was better

Slight edge to Martin, who appeared to gain control of the bout and out-land Bickel. Not a bad scrap.

A lot of energy from Bickel. Martin hasn't been as impressive this year as he was last year. Very close, but the slight edge to Bickel for throwing more punches.

Oddly, this close-in scrap was entertaining. Seemed to have hate there. I like that. :-)

Calling it a draw.

Those were two tired guys by the end of that.

Draw, it was like watching the same guy fight himself haha

Bickel fights like a Bruin... throws hard and fast, get winded and then turtles into a big hug until the linesmen breaks it up. The only difference is ... the league baby sits the Bruins, so they can order the linesman to step in.

Bickel with the slight edge.

Isles "may have gotten a point or 2" if Nabov not pulled? Pass the 'shrooms!
