Oliwa starts hooking Marshall at center ice trying to get him to turn around and go. They get close to the blue line and Marshall turns arounds and flings off his gloves and throws a left that hits Oliwa's shoulder. Oliwa then tries to grab on to Marshall with his left. Marshall tries another left when Oliwa grabs on. Marshall's left comes up a foot short and Oliwa jerks Marshall forward and Marshall falls to his knees. While Marshall is on his knees Oliwa throws a right that looks like it hits Marshall's helmet. Marshall gets back to his feet and they start to grapple for position. Marshall tries two rights, the first hits Oliwa's back, and Oliwa ducks under the second one. The second punch's momentum throws Marshall forward and Oliwa gets Marshall bent over and Oliwa throws three uppercuts that all either hit helmet or face, can't tell due to camera angle. Marshall regains his composure and Marshall and Oliwa start throwing simultaneous punches, Oliwa goes with the right and Marshall with the left. Oliwa's first punch hit either Marshall's sternum or face and Marshall's punch hit Oliwa's shoulder or helmet. Marshall's and Oliwa's second punch look like they connect well. Marshall's third punch hits Oliwa's left shoulder and Oliwa's looks like it lands flush to Marshall's jaw and either staggers Marshall a little or makes him lose his balance. While Marshall is trying to regain his balance Oliwa tries two rights, both go over Marshall's head. They grapple some with Oliwa doing a lot of pulling trying to get better position. Oliwa pulls back the right and looks to connect hard and jars Marshall's head to the right. Oliwa goes with another right that hits Marshall's left shoulder. They grapple some more and Marshall tries a left, but Oliwa fends off the punch with his right arm. Marshall tries another left that Oliwa also fends off with his right. After that exchange they begin to grapple for position and get in real close and the linesmen decide it's time to come in and the fight's over.
