1pd 10:45	Buffalo Sabres	Rob Ray
Comments: Way behind the play these two drop the gloves, tying up immediately. Ray has his right free and is throwing several non-damaging punches to the back of Rivet's helmet. Rivet frees his right and throws three in close shot from underneath. Ray uses this to get some distance and they start each throwing, at one point switching hands and going toe-to-toe with their lefts. Again Ray frees his right and throws a few more before the pair are broken up.

Rivet was a good but Ray very good.
Ray outlanded Rivet who did a good comeback later but Ray got in also punches later, ending up better with two great shots.
A clear win to R.Ray, very good battle.

Rivet was ballsy and smart for holding off Ray for most of the bout. Rivet was landing most of the shots until Ray finally got loose and got in his moneymakers.
