Chara looked to land the only punches in a to short fight.

Win Chara.

Now I'm not saying Chara is the best fighter in the league.....or even close.
However, it's kinda funny seeing all these keyboard warriors mock him.

I mean only the actual players voted him as one of the toughest players....but then again what would they know compared to hockeyfights.com finest.

Chara with the balance issues as usual. Love these Chara haters here. Neil connected with NOTHING! and Chara didn't do enough for an edge in this fight. Draw. Clean hit by Neil on Boychuk.

Chara has balance issues because he's got to reach down to hit most people in the league. They get to spinning him, and down he goes. I thought that Chara landed more than Neil, so I'm giving him the edge in this one.

Gotta give props to Neil for stepping up to an enraged Chara-beast charging him. Chara gets the win, but he's lucky this is hockey and not a street-fight cause he was in a bad spot at the end.

Also well done Neil keeping the arms down on the hit and not targeting the head.

Im glad this fight happened after the last terrible showing by big Z...

Regardless, this one wasnt much of one... maybe Edge Chara for actually throwing? I'll call it a draw.

I don't know how some of you can give wins or edges in fights like these. Nothing of any consequence landed. Draw. Chara isn't close to the best fighter in the NHL, but he has the size, strength, and expierence to hang with anyone in the NHL right now. He happens to be one hell of a player as well. I'd take him on my team any day of the week.

Good thing for Chara, Neil didn't went 'Milan Lucic' style as Chara was on his back.

Crap draw.

Appreciate the hockeyfights.com shout out

Slight edge to Chara, he was in control, as expected for a guy of that size. Nice showing by both.

And no, Chara isn't the best fighter in the NHL. But he one one of the most feared.

Draw...props to Neil for not breaking the code and not landing the last one
How many NHL captains will go and fight opposing team heavy???
