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

Maybe this will stop the whining about Ruutu never fighting. He did a fine job of it.

Best middleweight bout of the year. possibly the fight of the year.

Where are all the Leaf homers on this one??? Kudo's to the Leaf fans for acknowledging a loss!

I thought the fight was close based on the clip provided. Win Ruutu.

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.

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.

Wow. I can't believe Tucker didnt break his eye socket.

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

Great scrap... Definite draw...

(and I'm objective, because I hate BOTH players *LOL*)

OMG I am still laughing out loud. It is great watching Tucker get his face punched in! Reminds me of me demoing bozo the clown when I was 5 years old!

Ruutu landed more punches. Say what you like about Tucker, he's got guts. Nice to see a Ruutu actually fight and not just give cheap shots.

Great fight by 2 pests. Great effort by both, win Ruutu.

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.
