Gratton came back at the end. This rookie has certainly shown he deserves to be the Blackhawks enforcer! For him to come into his first game, and beat a bona fide NHL heavyweight in Josh Gratton, shows that he deserves to play on the team. Gratton got the better of him during the first fight but it was short. Then he fights Nick Boynton, who is a slighty above average fighter. This guy had 3 fights in his first NHL game! It was a enforcer's hat trick (3 fights) It is the Blackhawks...its not like they have anything to lose by dressing him for the rest of the season!!! At 6'6 and 240 lbs. I can't wait to see more of this guy for hopefully years to come....eventually on my Atlanta Thrashers???

Koci gets the edge in the rematch, A very solid fight for both!

An excellent fight, one of the better this year. Koci avenges the earlier Tko in this one. I felt he won, throwing more effective punches and more overall including one outstanding one. He had the sweater over Gratton's head but as you would expect, Gratts never quit but didn't quite connect as well although he threw with bad intentions. He finally got loose at the end and got Koci down but i felt Koci had won before that.

Good fight especially with the rematch implications.

better effort this time, I dont think he has a glass jaw becasue he got hit by a few good ones from Gratton. Good fight

Posted by savard18 on Mar 11, 2007 at 5:39 PM agree

Could be fight of the year...

Koci looks like a cementhead. Probably pretty strong but a little unsure on his feet. Entertaning bout though and I would give him a slight edge after getting embarassed in the first bout with Gratts.

Koci is gonna be good but u cant judge him just by a bout with gratton wait til he fights boogaard or brashear or LARAQUE

Posted by trent33 on Mar 11, 2007 at 1:33 PM agree

Should have let them go longer!

Josh honours the "code" and gives Koci a rematch. Josh can take a punch and keep on ticking. Take the time to watch the punches he is still throwing "blind" with his jersey over his head. Lucky for the linesmen at the end or Koci would have received his 2nd defeat of the night. Much better showing for Koci this time though.

koci was much better in his second fight we will see in his second game at least he shows up to take a few on the chin for the team
