Fredrick has stood up to guys alot bigger than himself and never backed down and would stand in there punch for punch even if it meant he was getting a licken,big gus is bigger than him and decided to drop the gloves,ya he got dropped in one punch but Fredrick is doing what he does in any fight he fights to win,I have seen. Him take more than a few beatings so I don't think he was thinking about letting gus slide after dropping the mitts.every team likes to get that lopsided boost except it didn't work for the bruins.i had seasons tickets for mann's first 2 years split 3 ways depending on who was down south,we had second row seats and we had a good rapport with Jimmy,he said he would bring a fight in front of us pre game and that's what he did,he was mean man and wanted to hurt,if he had a gus dropping the gloves with him he would of taken it alot farther than Fredrick,but hey it's a different time.
