Georges Laraque vs Mitch Fritz

Great 1st NHL fight Fritz.

Fritz with a win over the champ in his first NHL fight...quite the start for the 6'7" 28 year old rookie.....Fritz managed BGL's spin cycle which very few have done

down goes the champ

I've noticed in other Laraque fights, that he tries to get the other guy to swing first then he usually counters with great accuracy and power. But it seams Fritz knew that, and was playing Laraque's own game against him. Making Georges swing first then countering quite nicely. Other enforcers should take note. Wait for George to make the first move. It still may result in George kicking ass, but it didn't this time. Fritz gets the win here.

EDGE Fritz

The champ goes down, it was only a matter of time but hey Fritz has about 5 inches on Laraque. Good fight and I look forward to this Fritz guy fighting more often.

Fritz looked pretty good for his first NHL fight. I know he has been around for a while, but first big league fight against BGL, good times!!!

I really don't see how anyone can say Fritz beat on Laraque here. Except the fact they are biased NY fans. He may have landed an uppercut or 2 early, but you couldn't tell from the camera angle. They swung each other around then Laraque popped him with a straight left. Then Fritz pulled Laraque on top of him down to the ice. I watched this fight 6 times and still don't see how anyone can fairly say Fritz won. I don't like either team and could care less about either fighter. This is pretty clearly a draw. Before everyone gives the heavyweight belt to Fritz and talk about how is the NHL's best fighter, maybe they should wait till he has more than 2 fights.

Imagine your first NHL fight is against George Laraque!
Great job by Fritz as he kept Laraque off balance off the top and landed a nasty shot at the end. Big debut win.

Do we have a NEW HW CHAMP! And who in their right mind said BGL won this fight?

Clear win for Fritz, crown the new champ.

Fritz gave Laraque a taste of his own medicine. Spun him like a top, and pounded him when he got off balance. Easy win Fritz.

I had a feeling that this would be the year that Laraque would go down, he's grown too complacent. Fritz head him looking like a rag doll at times. Did see much in the way of damage, but Fritz controlled from beginnding to end. W Fritz.

Loss to Fritz, loss to Thornton? The king's reign is over!

Laraque cant beat everyone! Proof here! Win for Fritz!

Fritz wins, but I wouldn't get too excited about it. He spun Laraque around like a top, but didn't land much. I'd like to see hom go toe-to-toe with BGL like a Donald Brasher would.
