Aaron Downey vs James Wisniewski

As a Red Wings fan growing up in Montreal, I've seen alot of Downey, and frankly...he is, and has always been....a potato farmers' poor mans' version of the decent, Gord Donnelly. I wish I had better news Wingers, but those Probert days have been long gone for over a decade, and this guy doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of other teams, and that's why guys like Wisniewski don't even hesitate.
Wow, he beat the "Wiz"! Who's next, Daryl Sydor? Win Downie....ooooh ...ahhhhh!

Atta boy Aaron. glad to see you droppin the gloves again. Nice left jab at the end too. Downey by a mile.

Wisniewski just LOOKS like a punk. But he generally handles himself pretty well. From the clip, it seems like Downey has a slight advantage, but the camera gets over there kind of late. DRAW

Donwey was just better, no matter so well how much he landed punches here(not many) as he controlled to Wizh.
I think that Downey landed a couple/few.
He got the edge for sure in my book.

for you saying downey has nothing to proove to king,why did he beat king already,i like downies fight for his size,but king would kick his ass,and if downeys not on steroids i will give up my pension.

Both guys landed some punches. Neither took control, so I call it a draw.

I was hoping these two would go and they did. If Downey did throw a shot in when Wisniewski went down, it was an extra for Samuelson. Downey is a very patient and foe respecting fighter. He knows when to go and when to let people get themselves off their game, don't always have to drop the gloves to prove something, although it is more entertaining when they do. I give Downey the win for the one armed body slam.

wiznooski is a tough detroit kid. but downey had the slight edge here. the wings like wiz, i wonder if they'll try and swing a trade in the offseason to land him

Nobody beats the WIZ!

Horrible camera work which doesn't show the few landed by Wiz early and Downey lands a couple later. DRAW

Downey in a beat down. Whizski acted like a tough guy at first until Downey starting bombing him.

I'm surprised Downey's gloves still come off. They were glued on vs DJ King last week. And, Stu Grimson sends his regards. (Downey fans as well as Downey probably don't remember Grimson, though).

All that matter's to me is heart and Downy has alot of it. And trust me it has an effect on his teammate's know he has their back. It's not alway's the size of the dog in the fight. GO WING"S

Behn - What I would give to have those days back. But then again, we weren't making the playoffs every year and winning Stanley Cups, so I consider it to be a fair tradeoff. As for the fight, it was a clear win for Downey...he came out firing early, often and was clearly in control from the start.

DOWNEY IS A TOUGH KID, NOT A LEGIT HEAVYWEIGHT, BUT HE GETS IN THERE AND TRIES TO THROW DOWN WITH AN AGGRESSIVE STYLE

Anyone who was at this game knows that Wiz was won this fight convincinigly. The camera didn't show 3 good shots that connected to Downey's ugly face. DETROIT SUCKS! They are praying that they don't have to face the Hawks in the first round.
