And of course this Isles fan is saying win Brash, I wonder why.

Your on a roll. Keep going. I'm on the same wavelength as you. I just can't stop laughing. Keep doling out the common sense to those with blinders on.

The damage meter still has me rolling.

Shiat!!! Got home late their better be a round 2. Orr still ride'n high from the Rupp fight.

I will give it a better look in between periods. Bradley gets the win if that is the case. To tell you the truth he may have landed more before that too. I had to get back to the game after the long slomo replay I did of the Orr fight.

Gomez should be clubbed like a seal.

WHo said damage meter? Oh, wait, you did.

I think I only said that punches to the helmet, shoulder, and back are pretty well meaningless. Punches to the nose, mouth, and eyes are quite a bit better, eh? People rate fights so often by punches thrown and that's kind of silly when they aren't connecting. Check the video when it comes up, you might get the picture.

You are gonna be very pleased with Orr's showing here. Pretty shocking after all the "Brash owns Orr" talk.

[rondo]

No doubt Orrs best showing against Brashear. The fight was close, although it did appear that Orrs punches landed a bit more solid. Good fight and gotta give props to the 37 year old for still chucking punches at his age.

Second fight was also a good fight and will need to see again.

I'm pretty sure I know the difference between a punch to the face, chin v. to the shoulder or back. And actually the poster I quoted said damage meter and it was quite comical from my perspective.

And I never made a post voting either way on the fight so don't cast me into anyones corner here. Because from my eyes it was a Draw.

Things are getting testy again in this game with Ovechkin and Korpikoski putting out big hits.

[Bringer]

As a Caps Fans -

Draw/Edge Orr.

Orr just seemed to land cleaner IMO.

Draw/Edge Bradley.

Caps replay shows some real nice shots landing for Bradley but I'm not sure about the last one.

[pesadillamal]

Mikeb - The last punch by Bradley missed but Voros went down, pretty much bailed, because the punch before caught him on the beak. Besides that last punch Bradley landed better throughout and gets the W IMO based on more punches landed, better punches, and a bail.

[Sukoshi84]

Draw
Edge Voros

Orr has the biggest homer fans in the entire league. (nyrgoal) to name 1.

This is likely true for most people that have a favorite fighter or are biased against another fighter.

I have not yet seen this fight and Orr very well may have faired better in this one than the previous five as he clearly lost them all, but in my humble opinion "NYRGOAL" is an Orr fan, not a Brash fan although I believe he does respect him as a "year-after-year top 3 HW" and hence is more likely to push a draw for his boy than an edge or win for Brash

Oh yeah, I'm not denying that, Orr could never get anything going in the past. It just made the events in this fight pretty hard to believe. I guess you gotta be a Ranger fan to fully understand what I'm saying.
