Kind of surprised-impressed, that Kaleta, and his visor
went looking for that the first place...
but once the festivities started, Martin, gets the jump,
successfully ties up his right,
and proceeds to beat him to the punch on each exchange,
despite coming away with a noticable right eye welt, by the end.

The other night Kaleta declined a fight invitation from Prust because of a hand injury. It must have cleared up in a couple of days!

In this one I call it a draw as both combatants got in their fair share of shots, maybe Martin got more, but his face is going to be looking pretty bad today.

Funny is when they were jostling for position and the referee St. Laurent turned around and they immediately straightened themselves up--like me and my twins sons.

Looked to me that Martin landed first and harder and takes the win

I give Kaleta credit, and this will be the only time ever. Martin's no slouch, obviously. Martin knew that Kaleta's not in his class, but it ended up being an entertaining, although brief, spat.

Close bout, tough to call... I do like the lefts from Kaleta though..

Martin Is Cheese ....Nothing more and nothing less....CHEESE !!! Grow some Stones buddy or maybe his Grapes havent even dropped cause that was ............Not Maning up, thats for sure!!!!! His actions at the start erased any respect for the good showing in the fight... unless be goes by the Balerina Code cause then he would get his Golden slippers!!

Martin wins narrowly whilst sporting one of the most horrific jerseys I've ever seen

Oh boy draw

Edge Martin in a decent scrap.

Must be a lot of Buffalo homers lurking, 'cause there's no way Kaleta took this one.

An atypical fight for Kaleta who usually doesn't go toe to toe. This was a good one, actually similar to Grats/Reaves where the winner catches one and gets cut.

martin kaleta
sounds like a good players name
instead it's a draw
Posted by mike hartman on Feb 7, 2012 at 1:25 PM agree disagree
pretty even fight in terms of punches landed. Kaleta's punches did more damage, and he sparked his team to a come from behind victory. Win for Kaleta and the Sabres.
