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.

Rupp landed better punches.
EDGE goes to him surely.

Close fight, Thornton had to go with Rupp he was running over the Bruins.
Posted by FrontLineAdmirals on Dec 26, 2008 at 10:42 PM agree disagree
Rupp was so gassed after hitting all those Bruins...even hunched over catching his breath before the bout.

OK draw.

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?

Slight edge to Thornton at least in my eyes. Thornton always willing to fight the bigger man win or lose always a willing fighter!!
Posted by DAVYDAWG1969 on Dec 26, 2008 at 9:53 AM agree disagree
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 got a few more in early but not enough to give him the decision
Posted by Bruinsbear on Dec 27, 2008 at 11:43 PM agree disagree
i like the fact that thornton stood up for his teammates here and the fact that he even considered taking on Rupp who is a big guy with a long reach was pretty impressive but i have to give this one 2 rupp because he was the only one who landed any good punches

draw mcb 789 when your mom finds out your swearing on line watch out

Thorton is becoming a decent fighter..Not in the super heavies just yet.
Posted by CBH on Dec 26, 2008 at 8:00 PM agree disagree
Not a fan of Rupp but he is beginning to impress. Sorry B-Town fans I saw this enough to know that Thornton lands only one. Win Rupp...

Rupp gets the edge

Slight edge Thornton nothing spectacular,Just doing what hes paid to do.
Posted by EddieShore1 on Dec 25, 2008 at 11:56 PM agree disagree
I thought Rupp might have a slight edge before he lost his balance. Ok fight..not great.
