Ruutu won this with the late flurry of punches to Tucker's skull.

I never get tired of watching Darcy Tucker get beaten down. The guy's a pest. A flea. A fly weight. Jarkko may be a pest and all too but at least when it counts he can throw a little... Tucker, he's just a pest.

Don Cherry's nightmare. A Finn beating the daylights out of a Canadian boy. And a Maple Leaf, no less. Tucker's lucky Ruutu didn't get the right going until late in the fight. Wish I got to see this sooner. Someone else said it, can't see enough of Tucker getting shots to the face and head.

Ruutu with the win landed way more punches that landed flush on tuckers skull.Good showing by both players though, was very entertaining to watch.

Tucker got his ass handed to him.

Move over Brash and Gratts! Best fight I seen this year. Tucker wastes too much energy trying to look Mad and Tough. Winner-Ruutu

I would pay good money to have been able to trade spots with Ruutu and get to punch that rat that many times in the face.

I thought Tucker landed the best punch in the beginning; Ruutu turned away and looked like he would quit, but he came back and landed some nice shots, although they didn't seem to hurt Tucker much. Hate both of these guys... fun fight to watch.

Ruuto can throw em when he has too.
His actual fighting skills are very underrated.
Tucker is a light middlewieght.

Ruutu had more control in this one, and despite starting slow, he ended up with throwing the cleanest punches

Definetly one of the top-5 fights of the season so far.
My points goes for Ruutu. Killer bombs at the end of the fight.

What a tilt! Tucker loses his cool as usual and again manages to get outpunched. I admire his tenacity, but he just isn't the best fighter.

Great fight between 2 guys everyone hates. they battled and each got in good shots with an edge to ruutuu for the strong finish he had. Ruutuu, Tucker, Avery, Tootoo are the guys that make this such a fun sport to watch.

hate makes for a great fight

Ruutu with the win..but didn't "destroy" him as some said..was pretty even in my eyes with Ruutu landing more..and Tucker wasn't cut if he was its a rule he has to get fixed ..they wouldn't have let him stay in the box...obviously no cut..check the rule book..may have been scuffed and sure surpising he wasn't bleeding...but great fight by 2 a$$holes that I enjoyed beating on each other...
