Right off of the faceoff they drop the gloves and grab ahold of each other next to the benches. King starts things off with three quick rights and Boogaard responds with three rights of his own that knock King's helmet off. King pumps away with the jersey-jab and Boogaard throws two overhand rights. Boogaard gets in an uppercut and King shakes his elbow pad off. They grapple in-tight until Boogaard gets loose and throws two rights to the back of King's head. Boogaard then connects with a hard uppercut that is followed up by a mix of rights and uppercuts after that. Boogaard then connects with five straight body shots with King landing a short right to the back of Boogaard's head after the flurry. Boogaard connects with two more body shots and King tries to keep him close. Boogaard gets free and throws a left cross that misses. They fight to keep their balance for a moment and Boogaard then connects with five more body shots to the left side of King. King is able to get Boogaard's jersey over his head, but Boogaard gets off a right and the linesmen intervene shortly after.

King calls him out and Boogs answers in a big way.

King has started well, but then it was all Boogaard. Clear win Boogie.

Good win for Boogaard here. He hasnt fought in 2 months, and he hasnt won in over 3 months. Good showing, hopefully this gives him some confidence back.

King didnt want to open up at all, had his head turned, and basically held on most the fight. But props to King for staying on his feet. Thats his first loss this year in the NHL I believe.

Closer fight than what everone is saying. Boogyman got a few uppercuts in which gave him the edge in the fight. Bodyshots equal nothng in hockey fights, that only works with fights with rounds to take toll on the body! Would of been nice to see what rookie DJ would of done with the jersey over Boog's head! DJ is almost top 5 fighters in the league now!

DJ is a good young fighter, he will be the king one day!!!

Boogard is just a rock

Nice announcers, homers!

Boogard. No question. Go Wild

I don't know wth people see in the boogey man. He's not that great of a fighter at all. He's tall ok but other than that he sucks.

King had no chance against Boogaard

Edge Boogaard

Boogaard used his size advantage to generate good leverage and keep King at a distance after the opening flurry. Although his punches didn't do much damage, they did land, and hence, they scored.

King couldn't get much going - Boogaard was able to keep him at arm's length and pretty much off balance.

Smart fight by Boogaard - a win for the big guy.

good fight started at the bench and went all the way to the faceoff circle Boogard dominated fight after first 10 seconds

Posted by grappler11 on Mar 23, 2007 at 4:59 PM agree

boogie is a huge puke, threw a bunch of punches landed few, king showed up and that counts for a lot in my book, boogaard was talking crap to doug weight after doug took a puck in the grill, what a idiot, have fun watching the playoffs from the pressbox.

King was nervous going into it and simply outmatched. Boogard had complete control the entire fight.
