Salvador, like other average fighters before him, proves, once again, why Thornton just can't be considered seriously as a real heavyweight.

Salvador by a nose (Thornton's).

Two tough hombres, to say Thornton isn't a tough guy or a good fighter is like saying Juno was a good movie. The Bruins have such an impressive line up this year with skills and toughness. And Savard at the all star game was a great pick to be mic'd up. I'm not a 'Bruins fan' or a 'homer', but you have to admit they are a likeable team this year. Win for Salvador in this one, and I agree, I was a little suprised myself at the outcome. Definitely an agressive fight for that guy.

Nice win by Salvador. Monster first punch. Thornton wasnt expecting that.

Not much of an edge to either guy here. Salvador had it early and Thornton had it late, so I can't give either guy a win. Draw

impressive W by Salvador

Posted by azjim on Jan 30, 2009 at 5:31 AM agree

It almost looked like an old 1960's fight, with the takedown first and punches after. Lots of aggression by Salvador.

Salvador had him from the get go. I wish I could say Thornton got a good showing here but I call em like I see them. Salvador was very agressive all the way. That lacks in this age of hockey very badly. More shots landing and the win to Salvador. I'll hope for a re-match.

Good showing by Salvador. Maybe a lucky shot there at the beginning but Thornton couldn't get going. A surprise!

Posted by pmarz1 on Jan 30, 2009 at 8:09 AM agree

Salvador gets points on being aggressive. Would have given him the win despite the fact that it seems no one really landed a punch but by pulling Thorton down at the end when there was plenty of fight left leaves it a draw. Hey mcb, the All Star game is the only non-regular season game you'll see in your building this year.......hahahahahaha!!!!!..... What was it, 5-1 loss to Florida last night?????

Posted by kimocoyote on Jan 30, 2009 at 5:09 PM agree

edge Salvador, good scrap.

Posted by moneybags on Jan 30, 2009 at 11:25 AM agree

i think thornton was caught off guard at fist, then recovered nicely, draw tho.. mcb, yes your mother does..canadiens 100 ..the groin will be in the jacuzzi on sunday

Posted by JCeltic on Jan 30, 2009 at 11:31 AM agree

Ehh, both had aggression, I'll call draw...but wouldn't remotely argue with a call of "Edge to Salvy"

Posted by basil73 on Jan 30, 2009 at 10:51 AM agree

Looks like this guy (or is it really a guy???) mcb just preying on trying to piss people off so they can unload on him. Dude, get a life, if you like S&M, don't come to hockeyfights and talk nonsense here, just go to dominatrix place and get pissed on...
With this said, edge to Salvador for being the aggressor in this fight.
