Comments: After a whistle these two bump, drop the gloves, and grab on. They both take a second to get their rights loose and start chucking some decent shots at one another. Pederson stumbles after getting pushed into the back of the net, rights himself, and the two grab on again. Pederson throws a clubbing left letting Rivet get loose to throw some quality rights in-tight. This forces Pederson to put Rivet in a headlock momentarily, although Rivet still is landing some rights. Pederson loses his grip and Rivet drills him with some good rights, but he responds with a few tired rights of his own that nevertheless land. Now exhausted, Rivet throws some wild rights that catch Pederson, sending him to a knee. He gets back up again and they throw a few more before the linesmen break up the long scrap.

A perfect fight, underrated or missed one.
Bombs, bombs and bombs.
All offense.
It's usually Pederson-looking fight, no matter how much you ate punches.
He took several punches but did have land some too for the reply.
But it's clear that he was a loser but by what marginal?
Although Pederson fights freshly until to the end, landing few big bombs there as he ate few similar shots by Rivet.
a good comeback by Pederson but he was a CLEAR loser.
They gives REALLY their all,.

FXck those linesmen. Rivet landed a ton of punches . A draw vote is a crazy homer vote here.
