horrible fight. after the first few punches downie landed, he kind of looked like he was trying to pet ruutu. draw because both suck, but edge to ruutu for the fight

Downie grabbing Ruutu's pants is BS. You would have never seen Dave Schulz or Tiger Williams grab an opponents pants.

Downie started out pretty good (jumping the gun a little, but I don't think Ruutu was all that surprised). After doing everything he could to stay on his skates, Downie wanted to be seperated just when Ruutu was coming back strong later in the fight. Neither one was able to finish the job here, so I'd call it a draw.

As soon as Ruutu got free and started to throw them Downie graba Rutuu's pants to try and upend him, then he turns tail and tries to skate away, and finally looks for the linesman to step in and prevent a beating. If he wants to jump someone, he shouldn't turtle when he loses the upper hand. Hate to give any fight to Ruutu, but gotta give him this one. Downie is a coward.

Good fight. The smaller Downie landed more punches IMO. Winner Downie

Downie pretty much blind sighted Ruutu on this one and Ruutu fought his way back

Downie gets the most punches in

Ruutu does well to come back after being jumped. KUDOS to Ruutu for keeping his lid on. Downie...you suck.
Edge Ruutu.

mostly all the punches were thrown by Downie so theres no way you can say Ruutu won.

HA HA, all you Ruutu-haters, SUFFER!!

downie drops gloves and starts teeing off on ruutu. At least call a guy on and be a man. Then tries the pant lift take down, what a gutless idiot. Linesman should have let Ruutu fill him at the end but I guess baby Downie called them in for the rescue. Edge to Ruutu.
