Was that Mr. Cheap Shot himself reacting to a marginal hit? Downie is a punk and needs to take his visor and purse and get out of the league.

downie gives up a 100 lbs and still gets a draw.
Posted by azjim on Feb 18, 2009 at 3:58 AM agree disagree
I think those lumps on his head have been there for a long time.

Props for Downie taking on a guy three times his size. Oh, it led to a comeback by Chicago though, so take away the props.

Big Buff just dwarfs Downie but Steve goes after him anyway, they both land a couple of meaningless punches so I'll give it a draw. Downie should definitely stick to his weight class.

Downie tried to throw a couple and missed. Buff threw a couple that landed. Downie then hung on for dear life. Tried to tackle Buff and realized he couldn't and then hung on some more. Would have loved to see Buff pummel him some more but it was still a W.

Byfuglien loves to pick on smaller players

I'm a huge Hawks fan. I'm a huge fight fan. You can see without a true enforcer who can fight and who can't. By far in his young career, Byfuglien can't. I've read scouting reports on him when he was drafted that he was a skilled fighter. I don't see it. He chirps alot, but when he gets into it, there is too much hugging (it hurts me to say, but like Donald "Huggybear" Brashear...AAAAAHHHHH!!!!!). Downie should have been easily dispatched, but it did look like Byfuglien had a difficult time handling him.

I thought it was kind of funny to see downie grab for one of big buffs legs to go for the takedown.. he failed considering one of byfuglein's legs is the size of downie
