[Breakers]

Reaves has such a heavy punch. At the end of the fight it looks McQuaid is getting hit by boulder.

I hate McQuaid so watching him get his ass kicked was pretty satisfying. I gotta say between the Wilson incident and now this I've grown to like Reaves.

Great scrap. Good to see in todays NHL. Fascinating though that it looks like Reaves is punching so hard yet a swipe from a Bear or a Tiger would snap a mans neck in an instant with the right connection.

 

[WTFMAN99]

McQuaid got that elbow pad off but then basically got pounded.

Reaves reminds me of Brashear, just keeps punching.

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

good bout, McQuaid cost himself trying to shake the elbow pad. That let Reaves land the big blows.

Any bout between these 2 is a 50/50 toss up as to who will win

I think Reaves wins 8/10 honestly. Just a bit too strong for McQuaid.

Really? I disagree with the Brashear comparison. Brash would hug you in, and land noogies, and then wrap you up.

I think Tony Twist is more accurate when describing Reaves. He throws bombs from a few postal codes away.

Mcquaid went downhill when his visor got punched off with his helmet, and it became a fair fight....

 

[Sheppy]

Anyways, that's probably as heavy of a fight that we will see these days. Reaves and McQuaid both throw heavy hands, both can go for a long time, too.

Another two matches I'd like to see is Reaves/Lucic and Reaves/Johnston. How Lucic/Reaves hasn't happened yet is kind of weird.

Someone thinking McQuaid got his "ass kicked" shows how much of a nerd they are and how they have never been in a fight

 

[Troublesome 85]

McQuaid if he didnt shake his pad would have made the fight more even. Slight edge to Reaves at the end.

McQuaid also has horrible balance and has legit injured himself a few times cuz of it. Just watch his fights he's always having a difficult time maintaining balance.

Yeah, i wouldn't say he got his "Ass kicked" - Reaves, did take over at the end, but it was pretty even up until that point. No doubt that Reavo won, though.

 

[Midnight Judges]

That looked like a whole lotta nothing.

Draw.

The Twist comparison is spot on. Brashear was a hugger who could punch. From a pure fighting standpoint, Brashear was frustrating to watch when he went all huggy -bear.

Twist punched to break stuff. Absolute bombs that could end a fight and break an orbital bone at any time. Reaves is pretty similar.

Ah, fair enough. I'd go watch some Twist clips, man. He was an absolute lunatic... especially roided up Twist.

He looked like one of those guys in the Quebec Senior league that has about 5 fights a game LOL and the guys are all square from the hips up . Big boys that like fighting .

Sandy McCarthy is another good comparable.

 

[CharasLazyWrister]

It was relatively even before McQuaid decided it was worth the time/risk to start shaking the elbow pad off. When it didn’t come off right away, he was screwed.

 

[Iapyi]

Not the greatest fight but at least we saw two guys swinging and not love festing. Reaves won but it was hardly a vicious beating. Saying he got his bum kicked is hyperbole.

 

[Troublesome 85]

Watch "The Last Gladiator"

Tony Twist is one of the guys they focus on. It's mainly about Chris Nilan but Twist is one of the few dudes they interview a few times.

McQuaid got hammered there. Good he's garbage.

Another Leafs fan weighs in.

I don't get how so many people hate McQuaid. Awesome dude on and off the ice.

Remember when he knocked out ur "tough guy" Martin?

The guy that doesn't play for us? Or the guy that only played a season and a half for us when he did?
