I give Belak the win. BGL always has trouble with Belak. BGL previously stated that Belak was his toughest opponent.

Too close to call, a draw. Some good punches thrown between swinging each other around.

Pretty good scrap. Belak hasn't had a fight in a long time. He hung tough. Belak does not lose too many and he always takes on the best. Yes, that is his natural hair color, goon10. We will miss him in Toronto. He was always there for his teammates and was a great guy in the room.

BGL took that one home with the takedown

bad fight for BGL, quit spinning and punch already! Lame showing for BGL against a lesser opponent

Sure wish Laraque would just go toe to toe and throw em . Getting a little tired of the same old doh see doh spinning around crap . Nobody should be afraid of Laraque unless they have motion sickness .

Belak outworked Laraque, this with the sweater over the head.

Very entertaining fight. I can't remember the last time I saw Laraque fight this way. Laraque landed better punches and had more control during the fight, like when he simply held on and waited for Belak to get the jersey off his face before they started fighting again. I'd have to give the slight edge to Laraque but that certainly doesn't diminish how well Belak did, thats the closest I've seen anyone come to BGL in a long time and I certainly don't fault the people who say Belak won.

I hate Laraque and his fighting style stop all the spining. way to go wade close fight but belak with the slight advantage.

Not a bad tilt. Glad BGL knows the code, and doesn't throw a single punch after he throws Belak down - unlike so many newer scrubs in the league who probably would have kept throwing. Anyway this was a draw, though I could see the edge going to BGL. The best punches of the fight looked like the left-right-left combo BGL threw as he knocked off Belak's helmet.

And yes, irishVagbrian, nobody in the U.S. gives 2 sh*ts about Manitoba and your racist ramblings. Go spew your mess on the Winnipeg Jets message board... Aww = ( Yeah, I went there.

Good fight with both guys landing some good blows. Nice to see Belak show the Florida fans why he is there. Taking on Big George to start off in the new city. Close fight, gotta give it a draw.

Homer of a play-by-play guy -- the hit that knocked BGL's helmet off was barely a graze -- active scrap -- BGL's early connections were the most impressive of the tussle -- slight edge there.

How anyone can even suggest either guy won is beyond me. This is a 100% draw.
