Anyone saying Thornton got owned aint gots no smarts.

I dont count wild hooks to the back of a helmet "owning" someone.

Regardless, slight edge to Brash. Definetly expected a little more out of Thornton, but i'm sure a rematch is in the future.

Nobody hits someone in the back of the helmet like huggies does. I called it draw, on first look it seems as though Brashear landed way more shots, but when it comes down to it, hitting in the helmet isn't a scoring blow for me.

Slight edge to Brashear, but good on Thornton for throwing them with huggies.

Brash started with a nice jab, then landed the only truly solid punch about 2/3 of the way through. Thorton held held own though.

It's about time Brashear threw some punches!

Glad to see Thornton stand up to Brash.....but he was over-matched.

Brashear is gettin to be scared of everyone. If you watch any of his fights over the 2 years, he pulls the other player in so close that they can't throw punches and pounds on the back of the guys head. Too bad razor is not still playin.

Brashear landed a good right jab at beginning of fight and his overhand left is very heavy.

Suck fight and where the hell did they find the announcer???? Sounded like he was talkin in slo-mo.

Brashear's style generates a lot of criticism regarding those behind the head shots, but you have to give him credit for developing a style that allows him to throw punches when the other guy is hugged so tight he can't do anything.

Not really that close. Nice job by Thornton withstanding some blows from those meat-hooks Brash was throwing. Much more landed by Brash. Some of you homers get a clue.
WIN = BRASHEAR

Whomever voted for Thornton is either a Bruins fan or rascist. Brashear hammered that dude. He got lucky the fight was stopped.

Is Thornton gay or what? All he's doing is hugging Brashear and kissing his noggin.
Posted by eadamson on Mar 10, 2008 at 4:11 AM agree disagree
Thornton got a few punches in, but mostly was hugging to try to avoid getting smacked. Brashear outmuscled him and got some good shots in anyway. Brashear with the win.

Easy win for Brash. For those of you who say Brash didn't land anything, why don't you watch the fight again with your blinders off. Just after a minute in Brash clocks Thornton clean and after that he didn't want to even throw any more he just held on and waited for the Refs to save him.

These announcers are ridiculous. if you just listened to them and didnt watch it would sound like thornton dominated but he only got in maybe one connection the entire fight. brash landed way more punches. he also won last time through also these announcers are crackpots
