King got a narrow win for sure landing only punches in this short fight.

Sestito is lucky he still has a head on his shoulders. D.J. looked like he took it easy on the rookie.

Slight edge too King. Good first fight for Sestito.

Who the **** is Tom Sestito. You know who won.

King landed maybe 1 more punch, but the fight was still a draw no doubt.

If you see the video from Fox Sports Midwest (the St. Louis station) you see the whole fight, then you won't have any qualms saying King wins.

A bit too much hugging. Sestito appeared to land only punches. King seemed to be trying to slap Sestito (open fist punch?).

I too am a Blues fan but wouldn't be what you call a "homer". I am giving King the slight edge in this fight based on the footage I saw on KPLR 11 in St. Louis on Sunday. Most of the damage that Sestito does is early in the fight. What you don't see in this video is that Sestito drops his gloves and starts throwing before King drops his gloves. Seems pretty classless but it was his first NHL game and he was trying to make an impression on the Jackets organization and their fans.

King lands a few then hugfest begins....wow! yawn........

From this replay Sestito does nothing but fall as DJ tries to take his helmet off. DJ does very little before they fall but has to get a win. The only punches landed were Kingsi n a weak fight. Yes I am a homer but I try to rate based on what I see. I also can support my team without bashing the other teams in the league. It is great to have rivalries but ROCK HAWK you are an idiot. I have read many of your posts and agree with every other poster in regards to your intelligence and maturity. Just rate the fight you are watching and if you have opinions on things other than the fight post them on another forum.

King started ok but they started hugging up and did not impress me.

Win DJ, but props to Sestito for taking him on. ROCKHAWK..................your homophobic comments make my mornings! You are indeed a load that should have been swallowed.
