Rupp with the win....again. He thumped Thornton while he played for the Pens too. Boston fans need to learn a takedown doesn't mean $hit. Its how u do in the fight and Thornton lost! Plain and simple.

Rupper with win. 2 studs. Love these guys.

Wow, this was a pretty tough fight to call. I gave Rupp a very narrow win here. He seemed to land a couple more quality shots than Thornton here. A case for a Thornton win or a draw could be made for this fight as well.

Edge Thornton......better punches.

Good fight solid draw

Posted by HchVegasNHL57 on Jan 21, 2012 at 9:55 PM agree

I dunno how this could be anythin but a draw. Both landed solid shots. ST giving up height and weight. Good close scrap. A bloodied nose ain't no thing.

Bad news for BeanyTown, Bruins are not dressing Ference today against Philly. (this must mean another dirty Bruin will get his just reward, hopefully 10 games).
Good news though for BeanyTown though, O’Halloran will be on their bench and the Bruins always win bigtime when O’Halloran gets their call.

Anyone who considers jerseyjabs as legit punches is nuts. Rupp starts out strong but clearly lost his will to fight after Thornton connects with the 2nd right. He couldnt find the ice fast enough and this from a guy 4" taller and 30 lbs heavier.

Edge Rupp. @BBB248 , if you want to know what a "sissy" is, go look at your daddy. That is, if you know who he is. Jack Edwards must have fathered the entire population of Boston, as almost all fans vote for hometown win even after their player takes a beating (not necessarily in this fight). I guess one of your players would have to be lying unconscious on the ice to MAYBE be voted a loser. You're losing credibility.

I feel Thorton landed the bigger punches. Win Thornton

Posted by Rags4Life on Jan 21, 2012 at 7:13 PM agree

Looks like Thorny ate quite a few in that bout. Not to mention a bloody nose. Close scrap but edge Rupper.

Posted by filthynumber1 on Jan 23, 2012 at 12:49 PM agree

nice to not have to listen to jack edwards...draw

Posted by Esjay1980 on Jan 21, 2012 at 4:01 PM agree

Pretty even tilt; Rupp was the aggressor...too bad for a huge man he throws like a woman; draw.

Great fight by these 2. Rupper gets the win for landing more
