Jody Shelley vs Raitis Ivanans

well its minus 45 in Winnipeg today and this is my loan highlight of this miserable day....now this was a fun hockey fight to watch....very spirited and i would call this dead even draw

well done boys!!

It was even during the first 25% of the fight, then Shelley controlled the next 50% percent, either by jabbing RI in the face annoyingly or by effectively redirecting his attempts to strike back. The final 25% was more even, when Ivanans started using his strength, but he never gets anything suficient enough through to take away Shelley's edge in the middle. If that one uppercut landed it would have been a differant story... but it didn't... so slight edge Shelley.

Good spirited bout. Draw.

good long battle.
EDGE Ivanans .

Great scrap, have to call it a draw. I'd like to know what on earth would get voted a ten around here, seems like even a real barn-burner will be in the 7.5 range... not that this one was a 10, but a good one no less.

big time bout..... Draw.... not many players land the bombs, except maybe Boogard.

JS had a lot of little scoring blows, RI had a few that scored as well. I was leaning JS when I first watched it, but I'm calling a draw based on the RR trax over Jody's eye when he returned to the bench after this one.

Now that was a "Hell of a Tilt"...

sensational!

Not many landed. Good effort from both. Love the slow-mo replay. Draw.

I have to hand it to Ivanans the learning curve was very steep for him being a European player coming over to the bigs here. He would see more action if he were in the Eastern Conference but has a pretty good rivalry going with Parros and Shelley. Ivanans is so big and strong that he is not challenged very often and only a handful of the premiere heavies like Shelley will go with him. Another great fight by Shelley the Canadian Badass is back with a vengeance this year.

Pure and simple good bout by two BIG BOYS draw.

Shelley had stiches above his left eye. Head snapping back does not mean the fighter got hit. Sometimes they just jerk back to miss it. Got to count swings that hit and damage. Parros and Westgarth have the reputation of getting hit alot, but their head jerk is dramatized by their long hair.

Solid DRAW

Draw plain and simple
