That first leaping left was hillarious.
Stortini offers up the the huggy plan, but Rypien refuses, and smacks him so many times, that he's forced to return to throwing punches...
which, of course, goes badly.
Rypien is headed towards potential Asham-status, if he can keep it up.
Get this guy a real number.
I'm becoming a fan.

Ouch! That first punch lost it for Stortini, and he was in pain after.

Rypien with the TKO.

Rypien is a definitely one of the best fighters in any weight class. He's proving himself against the heavies, but he doesn't have to. He's fun to watch.

Look at that Oilers bench, after the fight, they're all saying... "Woah.... "

Stortini came back a bit, but this Rypien guy continues to impress me. Look at his size!! Win Rypien

The shot of the Oilers bench tells you exactly how that fight went. So does the shot of the linesman hugging Zack and telling him that it's ok now, the beating is over.

Gotta love these skills - the quick first punch, the switch to right uppercuts, the blocks with the left forearm. Rypien is a lot of fun to watch.

why was he looking at his hands after the fight?

Probably thinking, "hand, why can't you punch like that"?
Posted by Rick16 on Apr 5, 2009 at 3:39 PM agree disagree
this guy gives up at least 4 inches and 50 pounds and still embarrasses stortini!!
pound-for-pound who's tougher in this league??
