Comments: This was Laraque's second fight of the game (and first period). Good long square-off between the two heavyweights. Both guys don't want to be the first to grab on, as the first one who grabs likely will be the first one hit. Finally, Probie gets a hold of Georges and loses his balance. Laraque is able to land a few short lefts, maybe 3 or 4, but they are in too tight so none of the punches do any damage. Probie tries to answer with lefts, but they hit Laraque's back. Probie tries to come over the top with rights, but they hit air. Laraque answers with a left which misses, another left which may have connected, and then some more hugging. The linesmen step in to break up this scrap.
