Georges Laraque vs Riley Cote

don't like BGL but he is the champ for a reason and showed why again...big, strong, and smart is a tough combination to beat

he got in the first good grip which proved to be important....i enjoyed the fact it was open and BGL showed his strong technical side getting Cote locked out and keeping him spinning....props to George for acutally using his fists in a win and not just the quick take down

props to Cote for keeping on his feet and looking for a way back in to the fight he will learn fron the fight.... is it me or did he look a bit smallish when they were squared up before the scarp??

BGL wins in pretty easy fashion!

Win Laraque. For all you flyer fans , that was domination in a fight. Your boy got owned. Not even close.

Give Cote credit for hanging in there with Laraque

Cote will have other chances to redeem himself later in the year.

Laraque wins this, but once again he gets hit with a single punch, loses his balance, and to the ice he goes...

Cote hung in there, but BGL owned the fight. Hats off to Cote for going w/ the big man, but BGL put on a show and not hugfest for once. He actually punched. He is still the champ.

Nice bout BGL wins...again.

Big Georges with the big win here. I give credit to Cote for standing in there while giving up about 40 pounds and alot of talent. Georges landed about 7 or 8 jackhammer lefts. Another nasty game between the Pens-Flyers.

Hats off to Cote for staring down that oncoming freight train; that's gotta be absolutely terrifying. Win Laraque.

Wow! The best BGL has looked in a long time. He seemed confident, didn't grapple, and came out ready to throw. Props to Riles too, for not trying to tie up the left and being willing to throw with Georges, unlike many guys. But BGL jackhammered that left off Cote's skull quite a few times. I think it's ironic that in a fight he clearly won, the master of the takedown (Laraque) actually gets taken down by Cote. Good showing by the big man here.

BGL beat Cote like a rag doll...any questions?! The only way a Flyer can win a fight is by sucker punching someone or hitting them with a cheap shot from behind and then throwing down on the poor sod...YGBSM!!

Gotta give the win to Laraque, but no shame for Cote. He didn't let George do the Laraque tackle 5 sec into the fight and took everything Laraque had and stayed on his feet. Cote is turning out to be one tough kid. Would have been nice to see Riley keep his winning streak going, but oh well.

*Bush league cheapshot on that hit from behind by Laraque.

complete domination by Big Georges Laraque.

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!

Cote does well for a light heavyweight

Flyers/Cote fan here, but I gotta call it like it is: win for BG. He's damn near unstoppable. I'd like to see what this matchup holds in the future though.

Little known fact about Georges Laraque: he was born "George," but added the s soon after he was found to have the strength of two men.
