Comments: Domi and Russell are lined up next to each other off the faceoff. The puck is dropped and they are pushing, but nothing yet. Russell plays the puck and Domi pushes him up high. At center ice they go. Right off the bat Russell slips and almost loses his footing. The camera goes away from a second, but returns quickly to them for a good one. Lots of wilding swinging as Domi lands a left. Cam follows with a right and Domi loses his balance. Cam lands a nice right uppercut. Two misses for Domi and a landed left. Russell lands a right, Domi counters with a right. Russell now lands another right and Domi loses his balance again. Cam misses two wild right uppercuts. Domi lands two lefts and Russell misses four rights, one being an over the top haymaker. Domi gets his right hand out of his jersey and lands a glancing shot and misses two more rights. They grapple at center ice. Cam looks winded. Domi throws a right after trying a weak left and causes his own helmet to come off. Russell lands a right and then another nice, straight right. Domi counterpunches with a solid left. Domi then throws a wild left and Russell counters with two rights and Domi goes down to the ice, hard to tell if it was from a punch due to the angle.

Domi with better punch-accurate.
But Russell starts landing them in the end but Domi answered well again.
Looked like Russell took over later but Domi gets off of Russell's hold/grip.
Domi landed very well his patented lefts.
There wasnt of soft pucnhes at all, big swinging(particularly early as they spins around slowly).
They stopped spinning in the end as they skated away of center ice towards the right side of a board.
Domi goes down in the end but looked about bailing.
I am not 100% sure of that.
A DRAW in great bout.
