Raitis Ivanans vs Derek Boogaard

Boogaard is the top fighter in the NHL at this time (although he still has some stuff to prove to alot of people). He has so much more poise and control and consistency now when he fights - than he did say two years ago. Experience will do that. Boogaard is also one of the most feared fighters in the NHL. Ivanans looks pretty cautious doesn't he? He should be. Good for Ivanans though ....doing his job. It isn't easy.

WOW what a couple of monsters. Boogaard is one scary mother. I gave him the win as he seemed to land a few more shots than Ivanans, but a great showing by both in a very very good fight.

Bombs away.....all Boogaard. he"s #1.

Boggey man with the win!

Win Boogaard, but Ivanans hung right in there. Boogaard is just plain big.

the boogey man's height seems to elude these anoucers! however ivanans couldn't avoid his fist. boogaard with a lopsided victory.

A win for The Boogeyman.

If Boogaard is the man then so is Belak. Godard on his tail? Try Colton Orr.

Boogaard, win, good fight.

Boogaard with the W but it was closer than many think on here.

Ivanans is one of only a handful of super heavies that can match-up with Boogard, if Raitis had landed that right cross Boogie would still by laying on the ice.

They Boogeyman wins another

Boogie with the win in a decent fight. Both guys scored at least a couple good ones. But #24 with a few more. Hey stich, " If your aunt had a dick, she'd be your uncle!" But what does that prove?....That maybe IF Ivanans landed a big punch he might win a fight?

that was an impressive show of stamina for two big dudes throwing that much. boogard takes the fight, ivanans did ok though . boogey hasn't taken down bgl so he's not the champ yet. but as others have said here. EVERYBODY loses sometimes so the only thing you can really do is pick the top five in no particular order

Good fight for both, Ivanans loses purely based on reach, his big punches just couldn't get there.
