David Koci vs Wade Belak

Fight looked like a draw until you see Koci's nose . Both guys landed some good shots but Koci was cut . Props to Koci , he never missed a shift and was hitting someone every time he touched the ice.

Koci doesn't get into these lock out sweat punch fights. He has improved from last year. In interviews, he sounds like a little kid that is happy and excited to be playing hockey. It also seems like he skates and plays well enough to put big hist on people all the time. Even with the cut, I see it as a draw. He landed more shots. The cut makes Belak even in pretty good scrap for both guys.

great fight nice to see them toss them....i think Koci is great for the league....he isn't into the whole jersey jab thing he is a good old fashioned T2T guy.

i call it a draw but it was possible edge Belak he has looked really good since mid last year when he came out of his shell!

i agree this fight was close to an 8 out of 10

Its not everyday you get shirted for most of the fight AND WIN!!!

Kotex can take some great shots .....But he still lost!!!!!

That nose........she be a BROKE

Pretty solid fight, Belak!

A great fight by both warrior.
Big punches here were thrown and landed.
Koci jerseys Belak, but Belak didn't really give up.
A bit better show by Belak(convincing ending).
Edge Belak

This could be a hard statement, but i think that Belak can be a champion.
If he gets enough good change.
You see his last year(also 00-01 season, 02-03 and -03-04) and he did a very good job his some fights.
Belak vs Brashear, Belak vs Peters
Belak vs McGrattan

Belak wins a good, entertaining heavyweight battle by landing the harder shots. Good free swinging affair. Koci suffers a broken nose.

Kudos to Koci, he had the shirt over Belaks head and could have pumeled him but waited for the refs to break it up.

I saw Koci after this tilt and he was scraped up a little bit but he also landed some hard shots and had the decisive edge but Belak landed a couple real good shots so I called it a draw.

Belak sucks but did much better than I thought he would.

What a great fight!!
Edge to Belak, great t2t fight.

Draw. Decent fight between two tough guys. Think this is the fight where Koci got his nose broken. It sure looked crooked enough.

Too close to call...great old fashioned toe to toe slugfest!! I think Koci landed a couple more then Belak, but Belak obviously connected on a couple of shots as evidenced by some blood on Koci, not that it phased him!! This Koci kid is awesome for hockey, and best of all for the Hawk's fans...too bad every team didn't have a guy like him!!

Edge Belak here in a great toe-to-toe fight. Glad to see an actually entertaining Belak fight.

EDGE/WIN Belak. He landed 2-3 more punches that landed flush. Great fight. Obvious broken nose for Koci.

Good fight. Too close to call.
