Surprised how well Belak does in this fight to earn a draw. Never been very impressed by Wade's fighting skills, but he put up a good one here.

I am not a Belak fan, but he won, plain and simple. Belak was busier and landed better and more often. Laraque was challenged so he did what he always does in that case; Holds on and hopes to get it to the ground.

A very good fight.
Laraque landed two big punches early of the fight as Belak replied with big punch that hits to the back of Laraque's helmet and got his helmet off of his head.
But Laraque landed better punches(to the side of Belak's helmet/earhole).
Laraque does nice tying up work later of the fight as Belak was active of the two.
Maybe Belak would deserve a draw but i give edge for BigGeorge.

typical Laraque trying to muscle an opponent to the ground, but this time he ate a few. Slight edge Belak

This site is so goddamned ridiculously biased for this mediocre at best bum Laraque. NEWSFLASH: HE LOST THIS FIGHT!!! HE IS A WRESTLER!!! HE IS AFRAID TO STAND AND THROW WITH THE HEAVYWEIGHTS!!! All of you pole smokers who blindly voted for him AGAIN should watch some Kocur, Probert, Domi, Twist, Fotiu, or Nilan fights to see what a fighter really is, and get off the bum's knob for five minutes

Is that Balek's real hair color or did he dye it for the trade?
Draw.

I called it a draw. Really good scrap.

nice show by belak. landed a few, didn't get embarrassed. laraque looks more and more disinterested in fist fighting. maybe he wants to be pro wrestler.

hiding against chara boy are you a clown paddyd you can ask anyone and its the other way around
now for this fight it wasnt laraque's best but im glad someone went with him unlike the bruins game where everyone was hiding

DOES THIS GUY EVER LOSE???

Posted by trpaulson on Mar 08, 2008 at 10:26 AM agree

Belak wins. He landed more punches and did his damndest to make a fight of it. Big George seemed to quit halfway through.

Posted by Big_Goon on Mar 08, 2008 at 9:45 AM agree

Pretty good back and forth exchange. Belak did much better than I expected. Draw

Posted by powerball on Mar 07, 2008 at 1:27 PM agree

gotta give belak credit but bgl is still the best. bgl is the only fighter in the league who is capable of putting an opponent to sleep. go pens.

Slight edge to Belak. Laraque always tries to get guys off-balance... just stand and throw!
