Funny olivier interview with Lavoie between periods...said Arber is basically the only guy in the league who won't say no when asked to fight lol
Olivier is very likely THE heavyweight in the league.

Xhekaj lost, it happens. It was a great fight and I honestly think it gave the players some energy.

You're not going to win them all. Bob Probert lost fights.

Bob Probert would be too much to handle for the league and players in this day and age, but that's another story.

He lost, he hopefully learn a new trick, or two or better timing to throw a punch, or something and they won't have to fight again as Olivier will be a hab next year and for the rest of his career..

Wait when Arber will be a 27-28 man like Olivier.

When Olivier and D-Lo started, they had losses too. But now, there the champs.

lol the way people talked I thought Arbs got his ass handed to him. I honestly agree that Xhekaj landed better punches but it was close enough that who cares really.

No,

He lost the fight,

But he didn't get his ass handed to him.

It's the first fight I've seen him lose though.

The aura is gone.

He lost against Deslauriers, I'm not seeing it the same way you are. It looks like Arbs slipped and fell, he didn't get rocked. He hit Olivier with a few bombs, it was a close tilt, nothing to be ashamed of.

Damn, so he lost 2 fights already?

Bustkaj

Are you sure he slipped and lost his balance? look again.

Olivier is strong guy and probably a better technical fighter (i.e less wild and more technique)

It was a formidable effort though,

But maybe Xhekaj should pay for more lessons with Laraque
