Comments: Probert takes a swing at Osgood and Shanahan comes to Osgood's defense. When the camera gets there they have the gloves off behind the wings' net. Probert is doing all the punching in the beginning as he tries six or seven rights, with nothing major landing. Shanny tries answering back with a right, but Probert ducks under the punch. They move in-close and each exchange four or five rights from in-close. Probert finally gets some separation from Shanahan and throws a couple of rights that hit the side of Shanahan's head. Shanahan tries to answer with a couple of rights of his own, but they come up short. They then throw a couple of simultaneous punches, Probert with the right and Shanahan with the left. Looks like Probert lands both of his rights, while Shany misses both of his. Probert tries a couple of more rights, but they're weak punches and you can tell both players are tired. The linesmen see that and step in and the fight's over. Other Penalties: Probert received a roughing.

Good scrap. Shanahan couldn't hold off the power of Probert's right, but slowed it down enough to not get knocked across the arena.

Shanny always could fight even though that isnt why he is a star. Probies best days are behind him but it would have been interesting to see Shanny fight Probert when Probie was in his prime.

Great fight. Poor Shanny did ok but was obviously out of his league.
