That Saskatoon announcer is hard to listen to. I know all announcers are homers to a degree, but...

Anyway, I would have never predicted Baker losing a fight and Pouliot winning one in the same game.

Baker went looking and found someone tougher than him... Baker sure didnt want anything to do with Astles once his own helmet came off, probably realized Astles has decent punching power.

Watch it with the announcer muted and you might see it different, because contrary to his description, Baker didn't bail when he lost his helmet. Astles had superior position for most of the fight and as a result Baker spent most of it looking a bit like Bambi on ice, long before his helmet came off.

I don't know if he bailed, but he sure didn't want much after Astles lands that big right that causes him to re-adjust his helmet instantly. He tries to get in tight than goes down pretty easily. I think he was stunned there with that shot. Astles looks to have some pop behind his punches.
