Not saying it's fake. What I mean is, more often than not, it seems like it doesn't occur as a result of the course of the game. Something like that clip could only happen if it was arranged during the pre-game skate-around. Whatever grudge might have existed certainly wasn't between two entire lines. Two guys from a past game, sure. The whole freaking line?

I'm also not a huge fan of the way they circle around striking a pose like an old-time bare knuckles boxer, poking and jabbing. Drop them and go at it, for petessake. John Ferguson would be laughing his ass off at these Ali-wannabes.

agree with the arranged part..........

This style of fighting has been around for a long time though.

The one at 4:45 is how it should be: throw the gloves down, commence to punching. Most of the fights on that clip are the same. Sure, guys will stand and feel each other out for a second or two, but usually, they go right at it. No circling each other for half a minute probing for the opening.

I saw Probert get his ass kicked once on that clip.
