One of the better fights of the season. Downey is trying to show the Wings that he belongs in the NHL and not at Grand Rapids. He got Janssen out of his usual sideways stance but Cam did okay nonetheless.

I thought this would be a good scrap when I saw it on the list. Both guys are pretty skilled. Both guys are good for a long fight.The got each other tied up a little bit, but it was still a pretty good fight. I say draw.

great work boys...........watch the crowd go wild and tell me why anyone would think banning fighting is smart business for the NHL???

i call it a draw and really given props to two tough guys that have no quit in them.....and the fight actually went 1:50 from when they dropped the gloves.....they don't get much longer than that!!

I hate Janssen and I love Downey. BUT, Janssen put on a heck of a tilt with Downey here, very entertaining although most punches certainly missed, as both dudes were standing at the end with not a lot of damage to their mugs. But bravo to both, big hats off, Janssen with the edge for landing a few more, called it a 7.

Great fight. Great to have Downey up from Grand Rapids. Downey took some major shots but never went down and never gave up. Draw

fight of the week calibre ispired bout. i like the way janssen switches hands troughout the fight, gave it a 8 and a draw.. a fight with this much punches thrown and with both combatants still standing is a draw

One of the better fights that I've seen this year. Good go by both of them.

I think Janssen landed more but I had to call it a draw for both guys standing in there and not giving up. Best fight ive seen all year.

Very good fight, extremely slight win for Janssen.

Great fight! Win Janssen landed more and better

I can understand the votes for either fighter. Great fight, and I gave it a draw.

Posted by preds321 on Mar 3, 2009 at 11:07 PM agree

not a whole heck of a lot landed in this fight. Both guys were completely gassed halfway through it, especially Downey. Janssen seemed a little more active, but I'd call this a solid DRAW

Great fight! Slight edge to Janssen.

I don't know how anyone can say that Janssen won this fight. It seems like an obvious draw. To be honest, I admire two guys for hanging in there so long... but a few more landed punch's would have been nice. This fight was far from epic. Go check out a Probert fight sometime if you want to see a real slugfest.
