  • draw

  • R.I.P Belak :(

  • Россия ЧемпиоН!!!!

    

  • Draw.

  • blind boy belak!

  • belak with the decision

  • belak won but he sliped at the end

  • kids got balls to take on the Canadian heavy weight

  • no entiendo de hokey pero estos tios como pugiles no tienen precio

  • Sorry this is EDGE Laraque

  • laraque owns everyone thinks he hugs and spins the opponents hugs and spin him because they are scared of fucking gettin owned its just cuz he batters your favourite fighters :/

  • @scatystel he didn't batter shawn thornton, my favorite fighter

  • now thats a good fight on booth sides

  • solid fight. good length!

  • Not one of Belak's better performances.

  • @villageass most people here seem to think he still won

  • draw

  • i love all the tough guys writing how this guy or that guy is a pussy. it's very easy to talk smack from a keyboard. i respect anyone brave enough to drop their gloves. i couldn't do it, and either could you. and just so you know, gearge laraque is/was possibly the best fighter in the nhl. he was the benchmark.

  • @raider61x You are good gyu IMO.

    Many guys are bullying peoples and not respecting hockey fighters like Laraque!Huh thats crazy because Laraque is the man.

    He fights with best style in my book.

    If a player ate apunch to the face it means that you are loser and you losses your man point.

    Thats why Laraque tryes to avoids possible much the opponents punches and goes for quick takedowns.

    I havent at all problems with Laraques fightning style.

    DRAW!"

  • Look, just because Laraque isn't a disrespectful goon like most other players, does not mean he's a bad fighter. Once Belak's jersey is over his head, Laraque doesn't throw any punches out of respect. Once his head is free, they're too tied up in each others jersey to throw any more. 

    Watch Laraque's other bouts and you'll see he's a great and respectful fight.

  • Not disrespectful? guess when you pull the jersey over belak's head and then sucker him another word is more fitting: gutless. laraque was a oppurtunist when fighting patsys, whenever there was a real challenge though he stifled the fight by way of never ending clinches and hugging. So please get off this total bore's jock.

  • This shit laraque could arguably be one of the worst things to ever happened to good hockey fights.

  • The one thing most of you pussies talking shit about George don't realize, is that he isn't out to hurt the other guy. Just doin his job. Watch the video again and see when George notices Belak's jersey over his head and doesn't capatilize on it. He's a very respectful fighter.

  • LivESPOrtSvidS /d o t / c o m ====> l i v e

    Today's game, along with many other!

    Re: Laraque vs Belak Mar 6, 2008 by michaelaclaycomb83

  • What should he do, keep his hands by his sides and take all the punches? That's how you get KO'd. Most hockey analysts agree laraque is one of the best. You can't come to terms with it because you are a leafs fan, so go eat your sushi and watch the game on the highlight real. I love the armchair athletes calling the fighter a coward. Go you

  • george is not the best anymore and he only holds back when hes bangin his team mascott

  • Laraque holds back half the time I'm sure If you watch all the fights he's in everyone wants to challenge and I'm sure he just doesn't want to destroy the guy out of respect. Love ya George come on back to E town.

  • rofl u guys talk as if george was holding cuz he wasnt hitting him. You kids cant see that the other guy his holding his hands like a fagget

  • EDGE Laraque landing more better.

    He started pretty well, clearly better he was atthe start.

    Belak answered with one taking the helmet off of Laraques melon.

    Laraque did a good tying up job later of the fight, showing some stamina.

    Long and good bout.

  • Must be a leafs fan...

    George is the best fighter in the league. If you can't recognize that you either are a white supremest or don't keep up with the game

  • i´m not a white supremest...and i´m not a leafs fan...just don´t think he is a good fighter...most of his fights he just grabs the other player...a real fight has no grabing...so i say fuck Laraque is a pussy.. it´s fist to fist...face open that is a real fight... GO DETROIT

  • you sir are an idiot if you dont think laraque is up there in the top 5 fighters today, i think you know nothing about hockey .

  • please link me 2 a video of an nhl fight with no holding id like 2 see it...fag

  • Or maybe unlike you he realizes that George Laraque spends more time holding hands and arms than throwing punches. Only when your unable to return fire does he start throwing. Laraque is a Sheep in Wolfs clothing and the more I watch his fights, the more I realize he's a fucking coward with muscle and wrestling skills. Too bad he can't do anything else on the ice. At least Belak can play the game. And we aren't white Supremacists. Worrel and Brashear are both way better than Laraque.

  • so much u know about fighting!!when you fight !! the number one rason to win is to protect yourself!! and end it as quickly as possible!!

  • k guys, u cant say laraque cant fight? hes easily the best fighter in the nhl? belak and lucic id say are a close second and they can both give laraque a run for his money,, but definetly not as good a fighter.

  • boogaard is second even belak beat boogaard once.

  • @evstar81 your on about wade boogaard aaron boogard woyuld destroy belak

  • Laraque likes to hug man he aint that much of a fighter. when he guys against a guy who can throw em he tries to wrestle them down.

  • I wouldn't even say lucic is second. If you won't go up against laraque in a fight then you aren't even close to #2 in my books. Fact is Lucic backed down against laraque. I'd say Chara could be second best, but he's a freak so that would be why.

  • Belak is not even top 10!!!

  • neither are you

  • both these guy's are tough as nails, and have nothing, but respect for each other, to bad the "fans" on here don't show the same respect.

  • decision belak

  • look at 0:33 and tell me hockey fighting couldnt replace figure skating in the olympics lol

  • ....lol, AOG.....

  • lol

  • @AvatarOfGames when i watch Laraque fight someone (this goes for most of his fights), i can't help but think: "you spin me right round baby right round like record baby..." 'cause they always end up spinning in circles at some point.

  • Belak hits him solid at 0:17 and by 0:21, Laraque is into "hugging" mode.

    He will not stand toe-to-toe against guys who can really scrap.

  • what are you smoking!? at those times belak had his head down with his shirt over his head!

  • I'm not saying he's necessarily a bad enforcer, he does make guys think twice (which is part of that job) but he does hug a lot when fighting guys who can scrap. Belak hits him a solid and Laraque locks him up.

  • you obviously dont know what you are talking about , laraque is the toughest enforcer in the nhl , hands down.

  • He's a good enforcer but not a great fighter. He won't stand toe-to-toe with other good fighters but rather goes straight to hugging and wrestling.

    He's also not a very good hockey player (~50 NHL goals) skills-wise. So you've got a below-average hockey player who takes up space on your shift because he can fight. Georges is a dinosaur who is, at best, a marginal hockey player with a rep for being a "rent-a-goon" ever since Edmonton dumped him.

  • Belak is a really good fighter. But Laraque seems to be really strong.

  • watched once belak was done....but good for him tryn big L...

  • Laraque is so strong but he needs to work on his speed.

  • 0:52

  • are you crazy!!!

  • Belak wins this slightly

  • no.

  • why not?

  • really? belak is the only one geting hit, sweater pulled over his head, and sent to the ice.... it was total control by laraque!

  • ok fine after watching this a third time laraque did win lol

  • lol at 0:35 they were playing ring around the rosie ;)

  • fuck those 2 are strong

  • Good fight! Draw!

  • laraque wins this

  • lol chara cant fight. laraque would demolish him.

  • they did fight, they swung for the fences and both fell to the ice...

  • Looked like they were playing ring-around-the-rosy. Can't wait for someone to come along and crush Georgie. He is long overdue.

  • george laraque will never be crushed by anyone lol he is one of the most solid players in the league gl knockin george around

  • @krapkakes1 Shawn Thorton whooped laraque's ass. And laraque just spins the other guy around..

  • @krapkakes1 Im a huge laraque fight but he has lost a fight.. pretty badly to... watch him fight Fritz

  • Comment removed

  • @DonCapone313 XD mitch fritz was down when he faught laraque.....

  • @krapkakes1 actually a lot of player did johnson brashear parker twist

  • @krapkakes1 he got crushed by Shawn Thornton at least once and got manhandled by Zdeno Chara

  • @krapkakes1 he got crushed pretty badly by Shawn Thornton and Matt Johnson.

  • That's all Chara does. He's a terrible fighter. All he does is wrestles the other guy to the ground before any punches are thrown.

  • I think Hal Gill and Chris Neil would beg to differ. All Laraque does is backoff until the other guy reaches out to grab him. Then he uses the fact that he outweighs everyone by 50 pounds (cuz he doesn't hafta worry about playing any hockey) to put them in a headlock and punch the back of their head. Chara can fuckin play at least

  • Chara can definitely play and I'll admit, I have seen him fuck some guys up, but 90% of the fights he gets into end within the first few seconds with Chara throwing the guy to the ice. Makes for some real uninteresting bouts.

  • Ya I didn't follow him too much until he came to Boston. I never really liked him either until this season. Bruins management doesn't want him doing a lot of fighting. When he gets mad tho he's pretty badass

  • lmao bettman sux- 'cuz he doesn't hafta worry about playing any hockey'- yeah that pretty much sums it up. The guy can barely skate, it's actually realllllly pathetic. And for those who think Chara is a terrible fighter, you need to watch some more youtube, because he usually does some serious damage.

  • he gives up 30 lbs to Boogard and smacked him around a few times...

  • I'm sure the way they're listed it's 30 pounds. In reality they both weigh like 260/270, and they both suck and shouldn't be in the NHL. Not sure what you're point was

  • my point was nothing more than a reply to someone saying he uses the fact that he outwieghs eveyone by 50 lbs...

    Which wouldn't be true even if he did weigh over 260, since he fights other heavyweights.

    Shouldn't be in the NHL? I don't know. I figure if the GMs in the NHL want to sign guys like this, then they belong. Who am I to tell any professional GM who belongs on their team or in their league.

  • There aren't a whole lot of guys weighing 260+ in the NHL even amongst the heavyweights. Again, it's a hockey league not an ice fighting league. GM's can sign whoever they want. Laraque sucks dick, as long as he's not on my team I'm totally cool with it. But as someone who pays money to support the league, I can certainly have the opinion that Laraque doesn't belong there and is no fun to watch.

  • Of course not, But if you say he outwighs his opponents by 50 lbs, and he is 260, you are saying he picks on guys tha are 210 lbs, which is not true.

    He fights other guys in hi size range all the time. (235 lbs or more give or take)

    And I don't know what team you cheer for but most likely they've had a goon or two over the years.

    Besides, it's not like Laraque and the guys like him are out to take cheap shots and hurt guys. Most players like that are smaller guys who don't fight.

  • Chara cant skate either... all he does is stand at the blueline and shoot the puck... and when he "fights" all he does is throw the person he is fighting on the ice...

  • That's just dumb. Chara is a really good defenseman. The only time he's ever thrown anyone on the ice it was the laraque fights. Both of them were hesistant. This was just a dumbass comments from someone who doesn't like Chara

  • @BrendanHughes Tell that to David Koci

  • are you crazy?

  • Belak wins!!! Laraque is overrated!

  • After Larque, Belak is the best fighter in the NHL. His flooring of Brashear the other night confirms that.

  • I'd say top 5 in no particular order:

    Laraque

    Belak

    Orr

    Boogaard

    Godard

    ...and Chara if he wasn't an actual talented hockey player.

  • Not a bad list davedewolfe.... I would add Brashear in the mix as well.

  • Ivanans with the Kings is pretty good too. Watched him scrap quite abit in the AHL with the Hamilton Bulldogs. A true heavyweight. I dont think anyone is in Laraque league though. I've never seen him take a beating(another former Bulldog).

  • @normalnorm1971 watch the shawn thornton, tony twist, mitch fritz, matt johnson, or brashear fights with Laraque to see him take a beating

  • Laraque!!!!!!! go habs go!!

  • belak in probably the most underrated fighter in the league

  • Agreed. He has been on a tear this year. The Boogaard fight was the only time I saw him in a draw or close decision loss this season.

  • Good fight. Notice Belak jersey over his head. Laraque could of pounded him there, but he didn't. Respect and follows the tough guy code. Laraque wins this one.

  • I call draw on this fight, but agree about Laraque...Classiest fighter in the league. Tough as nails, but never one to take a cheap shot. Code all the way!

  • draw it was a great fight but as dmac1511 said laraque doesnt take cheap shots

  • this is not fighting! lol the first thing I always did is leg sweep the fag.

  • yah brad May is like 40 years old lol

  • 2 BEST HEAVYWEIGHTS IN THE NHL

    by the way

    each of them...say the other...is the toughest guy to fight..they have been fighting since jr agaisnt each other...

    Big Georgoe and Belak rule!

  • hahaha, good point, but I was strictly talking about fighting...if I was talking about his play as a whole..."POINTLESS" would be more acurate.

  • if Laraque was to kick your ass you wouldn't call him overrated.

  • are you saying i'm one of the top heavyweight fighters in the nhl?

  • im saying ur an idiot for calling him overrated. He proves his strength thats why he gets so much attention. He knocked down so many heavyweights including Chara and Brashear. Know your facts he deserves it all.

  • He used to prove it all the time, not so much this year, at all, because montreal has noticed hes not worth having in the game. not only does he not dominate fights anymore, but he couldn't put up a point if his life depended on it. Worthless.

  • Enforcer doesn't have to score goals, it's not his main role. His job is to play physical and to pump up his team with fights. Your argument is worthless.

  • Maybe not score goals, but he should be able to play a little hockey. Hes a wasted spot on the team, he plays like 4-5 mins in a game if hes lucky cuz he sucks so bad...why not have an enforcer that can also make a difference on the ice and help out his team?

  • look at how he protects the puck then come tell me

  • Hahaha, oh yeah, hes amazing. he holds the stick real good too

  • Preventing turnovers is a big deal. Your the kind of person that hates on others for no reason.

  • Hes not good at protecting the puck, don't you think he would he get more than 4 mins a game if he was good at that or anything!?? there is a reason he has the least playtime of anyone in the league. 99% of his fans will admit it, I don't know why the hell you like him so much...

  • You don't watch hockey.

  • Yeah, obviously, right? Why don't YOU explain to me why he gets scratched or limited play every game?

  • LARAQUE = OVERRATED

  • I disagree, you have to be considered somewhat of a good player to be over rated! LOL. Sitting the bench and playing 5 minutes a game doesnt even amount to that hahahahaha. GO LUCIC!

  • Does Belak bleach his hair?

  • no, he's basically albino. your typical saskatchewan

  • woah,,, we're mostly indian actually... and not even nice indians. very pissed off ones for no particular reason.

  • He reminds me of Scott Vargas from the "Christmas story"

  • HA! awesome...you see it too?

  • how did Belak win this? Laraque won this one

  • I have to say, it looked like Laraque lost there, but heeey give credit to man he has won about 90 out of 100 fight.

  • Laraque needs his balance like a balarina. That's why he's so good.

  • Laraque is such a pussy, he purely relies on balance, spins like a balarina

  • stfu hes the best fighter in the nhl u homo

  • i don't get it, we give away Belak and sign Brad May?

  • Brad May is tougher, has more experiance, and scores more than one goal a year... or rather one goal every 3 years lol. You're hearing this from a die hard Leafs fan.

  • haha did you see the laraque may fight? laraque owned him

  • To a Habs fan, I would imagine it would seem so. But if you watch the fight carefully, Laraque hardly landed any punches. He just had the better grip from the start and used it to his advantage. Also, He didn't punch May down, he muscled him down. But it wasn't about who won or not, it was important that fight happened. We exploded to 18-5 shots after that fight, so in moral terms, May won the fight.

  • laraque kicked his fucking ass and laraque is not a fuxking wrestler hes a fucking fighter

    chara is a wrestler bitches GO HABS!!!!

  • LAraque is a westler Chara is a fighter and a good defencemen , Belak win that fight , GO BRUINS and NYR

  • watch the fight between chara and laraque , chara tried to avoid the punches by taking him down

  • Laraque lost hahaha habs suck

  • Laraque's more of a wrestler than a puncher.

  • seen it yesterday! lets chat

    i cant watch this video s8

  • If Laraque was Ambidextrous he'd be completely unstoppable.

  • Taubi81 you is didnt not best in english loll

  • lol he didnt not make sense

  • that means he speak two languages.. probably one more than you!

  • de quoi tu parle le gros esti j'habite au québec pis je parle francais e un pocco italiano pero io non sache le scribe so how you doin maybe do some research before you start an argument over the internet and dont forget internet arguments are like special lympis: even if you win you're still a retard loll take it easy homie :-)

  • wooo belak

  • dr. dre versus eminem.

  • Laraque rules and edmonton oilers made a big mistake when Lowe let him go.

  • Laroque still gets the best of him, but really good effort by Belak.

  • Why do announcers always think it's such a huge thing to knock a helmet off? Those things are barely on their heads to begin with.

  • I hate seeing them pulling on their jerseys like that. Reminds me of girls pulling their hair.

  • lol

  • i like how when belak falls laraque doesnt start beatig on him while hes on the ground he just backs off. not only is he an amazing fighter hes a fair fighter

  • Laraque is a beauty.

    I'm from edmonton, when he was playing here you would see him in the paper every other week for some sort of charity thing he was doing.

  • ya for sure, i used to watch him play for the Hamilton Bulldogs, and he was no doubt the toughest on the team, but he seemed like he was the nicest guy on the team as well

  • I think laraque won but Belak gived a good fight...

  • i couldnt agree less with bnstl...i really agree with that...

  • what? does this make sense?

  • I met laraque,he is the man.Totally cool.but wouldnt want to mess with him.

  • Laraque is a total class act.

  • wheter it's a take down or a knockdown

    you goota GIVE it to Laraque.

    he gets the job done.

    End of story

  • draw

  • win for belak?

  • I've noticed ONE thing when Laraque fights... he's not the one wrestling, it's the OTHERS holding on making sure his right arm doesn't come free. He's a southpaw, so others have no choice but to hold on. That's why when you see him fight Brashear, there's practically no wrestling whatsoever.

  • yah i agree all the other fighters are hanging on for dear life so lartaque has to wrestle them down because he cant get his am free

  • exactly hes a southpaw so it wouldnt matter if there hlding hhis right hand retard

  • lol take it easy, bro... it was a mistake xD.

    No need to draw weapons lmao

  • Agredd but southpaw is Lefty, but I totally understand what your saying.

  • fuck man laraque owns the ring is like 6-3 and able to rock brashear and put chara on his ass

    if in my life i could even push chara hard enough for him to fall damn my life'd be done

  • ouié o pire stun video bande de tapett fakk farmer don toutt vos yeule ak vo ptitt chicane de kid

  • welcome to montreal george, can't wait to watch you, yessss

  • We (or our ancestors) are all immigrants, fuckwit. Brain before mouth next time, please.
