Rupp landed better punches.
EDGE goes to him surely.

thornton with the w.rupp has a lot of reach but shawn works his way in to get some shots.

Slight edge Thornton. Great example of both enforcers doing what they get paid to do, regardless of being at the end of a shift. Rupp stirring things up, Thornton defending teamates....ok fight by both, even though both gassed. Thornton just a bit better IMO.

Close one. Rupp with the slight edge.

Close fight, Thornton had to go with Rupp he was running over the Bruins.

Rupp was so gassed after hitting all those Bruins...even hunched over catching his breath before the bout.

OK draw.
Posted by pmarz1 on Jan 2, 2009 at 9:37 AM agree disagree
nothing more than a draw. Give Thorton credit for stepping up after Rupp gets away with at least one borderline check(Wideman). mcb, ignaorant doesnt even begin to describe how foolish your post sounds.......Bruins suck???......do you even watch the games?

mcb789 you're a tool!! Bruins suck? that must be why they're first place. vote on the fights and keep your ignorant opinion to yourself, don't try to impress the rest of the kids in your trailer park. Kudos to Thornton for taking on a much bigger opponent.

Rupp in a close boring fight
Posted by oaktoad on Dec 28, 2008 at 6:31 PM agree disagree
Rupp got a few more in early but not enough to give him the decision
