Win Clarkson. Landed two solid rights. Gratton has an eye injury so really shouldn't be fighting.

Clarkson did not connect on his punches. What is not seen is the slow motion replay's we saw watching the game live (thanks Sunshine Network). Gratton pulled his head back and did not get struck from what we saw. As he pulled his head back he lost his balance.

It's great to see Gratton standing up for his new team, but I don't think it was worth the risk with his eye not 100%.

Clarkson never landed a punch. Gratton landed one, then lost his balance (as shown on Sunshine Network). A non-fight if ever I saw one. The ATL announcers ("....Gratton doesn't realize how much he's got his hands full...") were just doing their jobs as homers. They were right about Kuba. He's a clown. Gratton should leave the fighting to Tarno and Roy!!

Gratton has a scratched cornea and shouldn't have been fighting but Clarkson is a little punk who tried to hurt the goalie by shoving Kuba into him.

Both players landed a couple, no big deal. Grats lost his balance.

That announcer is a complete idiot. Who the hell is that? What a loser.
