Featherweights Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Neal Pionk throw down in a very spirited tilt!

Earlier tonight we published an article on a short heavyweight tilt between Kurtis MacDermid and Mathieu Olivier that failed to live up to its billing. Thankfully, featherweights Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Neal Pionk have stepped up to deliver us some fisticuffs.

Old time hockey, baby!

NHL heavyweights Kurtis MacDermid and Mathieu Olivier attempted to give fans a show tonight in Ottawa... but the zebras ruined our fun.

The two big boys squared off at center ice and after sizing each other up for a few seconds, Olivier threw the first punch. The pair then jockeyed for position and Olivier ended up losing his footing... that's when the officials moved in to shut down the tilt.

Robbed of true heavyweight tilt, we were.

Hopefully these gentlemen settle the score later on.
