Shawn Thornton vs Matt Walker

Other than one big punch, it was more of a love in. Walker wins two in a row, it is about time as the big bad Bruins have had a tough time winning fights this year. It is time that Chara tuned someone in and got them going again.

Thornton makes the most
of the lethal combination of a superior grip, and good aggression,
to effectively tune a surprised, and frustrated Walker.

Shawn Thornton is always entertaining: I thought Walker would fare better, but Thornton controlled the entire bout.

Have to agree with BW. Thornton's total lock out of Walker's right and timely counterpunches won him this fight.
I wouldn't say Thornton was all that aggressive past the initial few punches though. Walker was more agressive for the final 2/3 of the fight but just didn't look it thanks to Thorntons lock-down.

To bad he couldn,t get them going after he tagged him!!!

Thornton handles Walker, especially that one punch he caught Walker on that pretty much sealed the deal on this one.

Thornton mixed it up well, gets the win.

Walker has to change his set up. It's obvious he likes to set up the big right and is becoming too telegraphic with it. Thornton's rights are shorter and just as powerful..doesn't have to travel the long distance like Walker's, who sets his right from way behind.
Edge to Thornton.

Before watching the video I imagined that this would be close. I was wrong-again! Thornton's classic hold on Walker's jersey negated any chance that Walker had of being aggressive-as my buddy Behn pointed out first. Nice showing for the only Bruin that I can tolerate.

Win Thornton. Imagine if he was like 2 inches taller and 15-20 pounds bigger.

Thorty does a great job controlling this fight against a much bigger guy who is also pretty adept at dropping the gloves. Contrary to what the "swedish twins" fan thinks, this was no love-in. Ask Walker how his jaw is feeling tomorrow, not to mention his ribs and left ear. You sure you really watched this fight sedinfan...YGBSM!!

Walker was out of it from the get-go.

Thornton all the way

slight edge Thornton

?????wtf were you watching sedinfan..how can you win a fight when you can't even throw a punch? Thorton tied him up and repeatedly threw punches. anyone who thinks Walker won this fight needs to watch it again..guess Walker got the win for not going down...lol
