I’m a huge Xhekaj fan- both of them- but I must be objective here….while X did get in some good licks, Bitten got more, and two of them were very solid. Bitten won this one…sorry to say.
Bitten all day. The Xhekaj brothers are incredibly overrated hockey players
ce que je vois ces que ce Bitten a jeter les gants avec un gars a la fin de son shift allors que lui venais de sauter sur la patinoire aucun merite pour Bitten sorry
You weren't kidding about it being an epic fight! Bloke in the white did great to stay on his feet after the start
