[toddandjillian]

Probert all the way but that Coxe guy went toe to toe with big ol #24.

[ace13961]

this guys have diamond chins!!

[seckler17]

WOW one hell of a fight, gotta love old school Vancouver yellow

[MrJuha82]

@khav11 is that your hate for Probert.

DRAW is the best call, but edge Coxe is all crazy call sorry dude, AMEN.PERIOd.

[bookerbbad]

@khav11 define ur idiology of a win? even if you beat on someone, they take all you have, and they punch you in the face and u collapse out of exhaustion or pain or whatever, then u have lost. Even if u landed more and their bleeding. Ur laying on the ground and they put you there.

[khav11]

@bookerbbad probert nuthugger they are so many!

[ontariooutlaw]

probert a true heavyweight enforcer,coxe hang there cus he was a big boy

[KillerCraig8]

Is that the "Last Post" playing in the background? What a slugfest!

[user11311131]

mma

[MrJuha82]

Well i am now smarter when i change my call, this is a CLEAR DRAW.

Coxe dropped Probie with a punch early part of the scrap and you see it was Coxe was better early, later it was close. Probie with slight adv.

Overall draw.

[filthynumber1]

proberts 1st fight in the nhl and what a fight it was!!

[thhhegame33]

Dang!! That's a fight! I'm a Probie fan, but Coxe is no joke! What a hell of a fighter!

[pokerace420]

@thhhegame33 look at round 2 though... probie clearly crushes coxe,

[Fruth37]

When these two bucks threw punches, they threw punches. I haven't seen one this good in several years.

[harwicke]

Probies brain was damaged.

[averseset]

omg i just saw coxe today he coaching a hockey team in my state never knew he was pro nhl player

[cotillion]

@averseset

lol

[sawyerg13]

Proberts 1st fight in the NHL what a classic and a sign of things to come...

[jonahrocks1]

Close battle. Probert won the won before this. But I think those last few hits got Probert.

Close win for Coxe.

[jonahrocks1]

@jonahrocks1 My bad, I meant the one after* this :P

[MrJuha82]

Probert took over in the end EDGING his opponent.

Great battl.

[VanCanucksFTW]

Wow what a fight! Love those Canucks jerseys

[TEAFcomedy]

coxe is my coach this year

[bruizer1100]

@TEAFcomedy whats coxe up to these days

[KleioCotto]

If you count punches landed coxe gets the decision

[reidsy88]

Craig Coxe wasn't the toughest guy around, but he would go anybody...Handles himself 'Ok' in both Probert tilts.

[btskatepunks]

thats my coach, go coxeeeeeeyyyy

[martineznc]

My face hurts from just watching that.

[TheTTBT]

Coxe and Probert fights have more punch than Hawaiian Punch...mixed with speeders.

[geekstreat]

Can you say Heavyweights?!

[dafuksup]

coxe has got the weirdest fighting style. all his fights are standing straight up with no bent stance and chin straight out with no head movement and just swinging wildly. if this was a boxing match he would get knocked out cold but his fights were entertaining to watch. if he fought like this in the nhl today he would probably get tagged pretty good by some of the heavys or just taken down to the ice because fighters are more technical now not always just fighting on pure emotion.

[theultimateultimatum]

even draw

[stargell777]

On the button at 0:41. 

[flowerdrop1]

@stargell777 no, it was a slip

[stargell777]

@flowerdrop1 But the rematch in 1987 looks like a different story:

youtube.com/watch?v=nK3yNgktCL­k&feature=channel

[flowerdrop1]

@stargell777 probie won that one, no doubt. but he that he hit him a lot more and Coxe didnt go down, supports Rd1 was a slip

[stargell777]

@flowerdrop1 Probie was a late fighter, which means he really got going when Coxe began to fade at :40. Coxe was tough. I would have "slipped" after the second punch to the head from Probert.

[Wyant1]

Wow... Coxe played for my local team, the Channel Cats, back in the day after his NHL days were over. He was the team captain. Never knew he was that nasty of a guy. I'm impressed. It's not every day you see a guy give it to Bob Probert like that.

[frankp12345]

Rest in peace Probie...

[GTM57]

YAY Probert!

[probert2436]

Classic old time hockey there. Bob keeps trying to get started but he's too busy getting punched in the face.Coxe UD, but Bob won the war.

[Jorge4402]

R.I.P. Probert. We'll miss ya.

[lxexpress]

DING DING.the winner and still champion .............Bob Proooooooooooooooobert..thanks­ for the great memories Bob. R.I.P.

[gcdcjccc]

boy that Coxe was pretty tough.....edge Probert......just barely

[MrWestcoast45]

To those of us who have seen Probie...to those who have watched his fight vids here on youtube.......to the younger generation,...this was hockey in the 80's and 90's...where fighters taught lesons..where scores were 7-5 for your fave team...Probie was hockey...Probie was a class act off the ice....the NHL will never be the same....we lost a great hero..we lost a great competitor....and the world lost a great man..to his family..to his wife..i say, thanks Bob....you were my hero...thanks

[Mr32151]

Thanks You Great Warrior! Live - Fights

[belair55zz56]

RIP Bob.

[beleaf09]

RIP Probert

[canuckleheadmorgie]

thanks for the memories, RIP Probert.

[djbohniii]

jeez my face hurts.

[Frostbittenjam]

RIP Bob

[mrthemike]

rip

[rbmoon2002]

I was at this game and Coxe did very well in this fight. He was a skinny dude compared Probie, but, he loved to scrap.

[sawyerg13]

Proberts 1st nhl fight and not a bad one either

[fortier2727]

wicked fight!

[MJohnsonRockz]

This was a mans fight.. fuck me

[mike86860]

Probert these were the beginning years of a long road of alcohol and drug abuse. He was bomb waiting to explode as many who knew him said.

[jetshull]

coxe got a granite chin, wow.

[Michlimania]

Ha, ha...Probert was notorious for letting a guy punch himself out and then land the finishing blows.

Probert had an iron chin.

[dhdickson]

PROBERT WINS.....he laid that bitch out....stupid f*cks...

[hordichuck]

fuck. what a bout

[buttkick22]

exactly....he fell....that doesn't mean anything.....didn't get punched down or anything, just fell.....so coxe wins.....sick of people thinking someone wins because the other guy fell or got the "takedown"....this isn't MMA folks

[Imtellingmymommy]

Very clearly a Coxe win

[Bizzangle]

Coxe does get the decision dude. Just cuz he slips and falls form a punch to the hemlet does not lose him the fight. He owned Probert for most of it.

[Bizzangle]

Coxe clearly wins this fight...Probert scores late but Coxe controlled most of the fight, surprisingly enough.

Probert hits helmet Coxe slips and falls.

Decision Coxe. No doubt about it.

Probert won their next fight though.

[TheWhiteFactor]

This is 200 times better than hockey today - YES

[SametBaksan]

hell yeah

[Fitzwolf22]

@TheWhiteFactor 200 my ass,try infinity."hockey"(if you wanna even call it that) has gone corperate,sold its soul for...well I dont know what the hell for.I just know that real hockey is dead.

[Peacecap]

No one really goes toe-to-toe anymore. Stuff like Downey-Janssen is the exception that proves the rule. It's so much fun to see people standing there, trading punches without any concern for blocking them, until one of them buckles.

[impalapez]

WOW!!!!

[BigRedYeti]

Agreed. They were a different breed back in the day. Makes current players look pathetic.

[BigRedYeti]

It's doesn't get more "heavyweight" than this. Holy sweet flying fuck. Great old school fight.

[PocketHercules99]

haha 0:30 probie gets the windmill goin

What a beauty

[kirby3278]

If that doesn't get you going...

[hockyboy313]

nice

[natscaps1993]

Bob Probert

thats all i can say

[Daynshantz]

classic.

[timwins31]

God almighty the game misses someone like this now days. Talk about a non-skill guy that had an impact on every game. There's no one in the league that even deserves to be mentioned in the same sentance as Probert.

[vince4164]

amen brother

[tonytwister18]

long live the king.. fucken coxe is tough too

[lesterismyname]

Granite Jaws.. Those guys are warriors.

[Edgarsriba]

made of iron!

[aberfoyler]

Now that's a fight! Wow!

[LchanOtakudom]

You said it!
