By the third fight I think he felt sorry for Domi because he punched him in the face/coconut so many times and he felt like he would let Domi land a few of his own. Three was probably a draw. Take nothing from Domi though he was as tough as they come.

Well I thought Domi won round 3, so I must be one of the people you are talking about. Was Simon feeling sorry for Domi?? I don't know but I thought Simon threw a lot in round 3 but landed very little. I'm not one of those super slo-mo guys that dissects each frame of a fight to determin a winner, but I thought Domi landed the two best punches of the fight-causing Simon to stop punching and grab on to end it. Win Domi. Not a clear win but an edge in my book. Simon was a beast at this particular time of his career so i give Domi full marks for taking him on.

I can't remember if Domi ever tried to use it but whenever we are dealing with a one dimensional fighter like Simon, who only threw lefts, I'd advise using the crossover. Tim Hunter used this technique to perfection against a lot of one armed bandits. In this case, Domi would have to reach across with his left and grab a hold of Simon's left and then try to land open rights against him while he's tied up. It certainly isn't a fool-proof way of winning a fight-Simon was a big guy with a much longer reach so it would still be a tough go for Domi.

Thx for addressing crux of the thread. I remember when Belak got to the Leafs and Domi was his advisor, couldn't of had a better one

Domi never really exhibited any problems with whacking the big guys or finding range, very uncanny, and a real feat if u ask me: Probie, McCarthy, If I recall he even had Brash in a spin-a ramma when Brash bailed. I think had this series continued ( all three fight happened in a 3 month span) Domi would figured something out and at least negate, slip, slide, away from some of the incoming

Um, he did. Pretty much all of Simon's punches grazed Domi, or landed on the top or side of his head. Domi landed a right in round 3 and Simon basically stopped fighting immediately. At no point in the previous 2 bouts that Simon won did he have Tie in that predicament.

Oh absolutely. Sometimes it's best to hear it from someone not much tied to hockey. I tossed in an old fight comp. for a couple of friends several months ago (not very hockey oriented people) who wanted to see this particular fight again because they were impressed with Domi. Both of them said the same thing you did and I have to agree. I think Domi actually landed a couple of overhand rights to end that. Watch the video carefully at the end. Simon just held on and looked like he wanted to dump him, but couldn't. Domi wins that fight with the fierce barrage at the end

Actually the two people that I was targeting were acdcrocks and mike florida who actually went 1-1-1 for the series. I just can't see anything in those first two fights that could possibly warrant a draw or win for Domi. Simon landed several shots but just couldn't land that flush shot and put Domi away. Third appeared to be a draw to me. Domi landed a few nice rights at the end but I don't think either did much damage and a tired Simon just grabbed on.

Simon seemed a little disinterested in the third fight IMO. They had already had two fights that season and Simon was a little more interested in playing hockey than Domi. Of course at that time Domi wanted to avenge the two losses he took earlier in the year at home so he pushed the envelope and appeared to give Simon no option so the fight happened. Domi approached the role different at that time he fought first and played second.
