Why Tampa let Pratt go, I'll never know. Money I guess.

Anyway, ok fight, I gave it a draw.

God that announcer is such a homer.

Decent fight. Pratt got in one on the first punch and then the best hit dead on his nose/cheak in the middle. Thorburn got a few, but they mostly were on Pratt's helmet. Almost gave it a draw, but I believe that Thorburn got a shiner, so I gave Pratt the edge.

BTW, while RJ (announcer) is a bit of a homer, he is one of the most loved and longest running play-by-play guys in the league. Watchning the Sabres won't be the same without him when he finally retires.

Pratt with the edge.
A nice fight, but not great.

Win for Pratt

Posted by slav on Jan 19, 2008 at 7:04 AM agree

Even scrap. Both wanted to throw and both had good defense.

Posted by azjim on Jan 19, 2008 at 5:22 AM agree

Each guy got one in, but as time went on, Thorburn landed an unanswered left. Thorburn wins, but barely.

Pratt was a little better in that one i'd say

A pretty good fight pratt landed a good one thorburn came back but give some crewdit to pratt as hew took a big hit in the corner and was still willing to dropp em.

Pretty even and heated, even if it should have been Exelby's bout. Pratt lands two or three straight on. Thorburn lands one or two straight on. Edge Pratt for landing the first dandy, and managing Thorburn as he got tired out.

Win for Pratt and the end of a shift, fighting a guy who just hopped off the bench.

Posted by m3mattx on Jan 19, 2008 at 2:03 PM agree

Slight Edge Pratt. His punches were more direct to the face imo. Good Scrap.

Posted by Pantallica on Jan 19, 2008 at 4:08 PM agree

Good fight, advantage pratt.

I would feel it necessary to question the mental capacity of anyone who votes thorburn here, its either pratt or draw.

honestly, pratt landed many ones squaaaaaare in the face, whereas thorburns were kinda wimpy ones

Edge to Pratt. And to the chump saying Pratt is the real loser cause he lives in Buffalo, haha seems to me you are the real loser.

Posted by Marsdevilsvolta on Jan 23, 2008 at 11:26 PM agree

people think pratt won that? its between a draw and win to thorburn and i gotta go with the thrasher.

Great effort both ways. Toe to toe more that most and not looking for an out. Where is Peters?
