Who the hell voted a winner in this one. This is the definition of a draw

Smith lands a big right early before the two grapple and exchange a few punches that all appear to miss. Smith seems to be in control of the wrestling, despite allowing Clarkson to throw a haymaker uppercut which almost connects. The fight ends with a nifty Clarkson takedown when he realizes Smith was about to try to take him down. Clarkson throws a borderline cheap**** as they hit the ice. No winner here in an okay bout which never really got going.

Looked like most of Clarkson's bombs landed on Smiths shoulder or armpit. Yawner. I wouldn't give this to either guy. Clarkson may have landed a shot or 2, but Smith controlled the situation.

I cannot figure out what smith was doing at the end of the fight? Trying to grab the back of his jersey? Draw.

No real punches connected from both players, but the take down goes to Clarkson, so i guess he gets the edge.

A BIT OF A CHEAP SHOT BY CLARKSON AT THE END - BUT IN A FIGHT I GUESS THERE REALLY ISN'T ANY 'CHEAP SHOTS'

Edge Clarkson. For the last shot. Hard to tell by the angle if it landed but I will give him the benifit of the doubt. NICE TILT!!!!

The fight was a draw, but Clarkson's last punch show's he's a no-ball loser.

Posted by MakaveliTrained on Jan 11, 2008 at 11:15 AM agree

Win clarkson!

Posted by hockey doc on Dec 17, 2007 at 9:23 AM agree

pretty close bout, not much happening. Clarkson employing that boring style of the "extended arm hold away and swinging once every ten seconds". Cheap shot at the end by Clarkson when Smith was down on the ice.

Posted by mikebflorida on Dec 18, 2007 at 12:02 AM agree

I gave it a draw. Both landed a few, both were tied up pretty well and both were tired at the end. DRAW
