Brian McGrattan vs Colton Orr

Draw in a great HW scrap.

I'm with pilotpelkie on this one. slight edge to Orr for landing the heavier of the shots. Grats came back all right, but his punches didn't have a lot on them.

At first, I was suprised the way Orr was handling McGrattan. But then as we all see, McGrattan gets exceptionally stronger through the bout. Orr definitely had the upper hand in the very beginning of the fight. But towards the middle and end, it was all McGrattan. Couple of warriors right there. Great scrap. McGrattan wins again.

Orr landed way more quality punches. All McGratten did was hit him in the back of the helmet, after eating about solid eight rights

WIN mcgratts!!

orr lands two bombs early but then mcg wears his arse out...

Great Fight!!!!

I was hoping to see these two go at it, very evenly matched, great fight. McGrattan gets a slight edge, it looked like Colton was worn out.

Hmm. Orr had the upper hand at the start, but Mc G outlasted him and put him down. Based on this, I think Mc G gets a 10-9 decision.

Orr early, but McGrattan's very strong ending.
McGrattan gets a narrow win.

McGrattan had control of 3/4 of this fight. Orr hung in there but never had the upper hand past the 1/4 mark in this fight spending most of the fight off balance

Very good fight between two of the circuits young but established top tenners. Orr early but McGrattan takes over late to win on volume. It looks as if occaisionally Orr''s lack of height and reach can hamper him vs the bigger guys..

Very good one and a fine showing by both.

Brian McGrattan vs Colton Orr

These two stare each other down at center ice, and decide to drop the gloves and begin to square off. They each are going toe-to-toe, with Orr landing some solid rights. They continue to exchange rights, and one of Orr's punches knocks off McGrattan's helmet. They each continue to exchange rights, with some solid punches connecting by each combatant. Orr switches to his left, connecting with a couple, while McGrattan continues to throw rights. Orr switches back to his right, and they continue to exchange. After that, Orr loses his balance, and they fall to the ice with McGrattan on top.

McGratten was fresher and it showed. He outlasted Orr for the victory.

Great toe to toe bout between two of the best. Fight of the year so far.
