Mike Rupp vs Patrick Bordeleau

Rupp early, Bord late.......no real advantage.....draw

Great quick scrap between two serious dudes

That win
however marginal
helps put Bordeleau's status in perspective
and proves beyond a doubt that he's the real deal

Pretty sad that the public address guy has to tell Colorado fans to make some noise just after Bordeleau won a fight. .

You people have lost your minds. I've seen enough of Bordeleau in the A to know that he is a legitimate top 5 fighter active in the Show right now. That he beats Rupp here is no surprise at all; that he comes back from getting wobbled early speaks to his heart; and that he gets the hockey KO late speaks to his power.

Two big tall dudes with a long reach in a spirited battle that goes to Bordy.

Bordeleau is my rookie of the year, i love watching him fight. He is a future heavyweight contender.

Rupp comes out on fire, but Bordeleau hangs in there and turns it on at the end for a win (but not by much)

Bordeleau impressed me here on how he handled Rupp...
Rupp got knocked down after taking one to the back of his neck.

Bordeleau impresses once again.... Slight edge here with a strong finish...

Its PB&J time

Bordeleau beats another legit guy... I am eagerly awaiting March 27 for when the Avs take on the Flames, and hopefully we see The Bordeleau Show and McGrattan square off.

Im going draw with this one, very close.

This fight is proof decisions are subjective.
For me, Bordeleau wins.

Good tilt. Lots of big shots, some even connected a bit. Not sure if the last shot put Rupp down but since he went to the dressing room right away with 15 minutes left in the period, he must have been hurt. So even though very close, Bordeleau gets the W and I hate to say that as a Wild fan.

Bordy taking on all in the NHL. Watching him for years for the Lake Erie Monsters I knew he would be good in the show. Win Bordy!
