From the footage on Twitter of the fight it looked a comprehensive win for fitz. Not so much with the official highlights. Matt definitely slips the first time he lands on his knees as there wasn't even a punch from Fitzy. Fitzy then dominated him with numerous punches which matt struggling to battle him off whilst getting to his feet. The big man took every hit and stayed off the ice. It certainly was a big left punch from matt that floored Fitzy at the end.
Fair play to both guys. Fitzy dominated the majority of the fight but couldn't floor matt. Matt dropped him with literally his only punch at the end.
Everyone will interpretate the fight differently.

Interestingly a new video and angle of the fight has made its way onto social media which suggests that Fitzy was pulled to the ground by Nickersons other arm rather than the left connecting to send him to the ice.

The one from behind Regans net? It doesn't really though does it. Fitzy deffo had the better of the fight by a long distance. I just don't think the finale was as simple as Matt pulling him down.

Quite funny reading a Clan fan making comments about Matt 'show-boating' after fights, when you think of the Purple Army's wee 'lets all do the Frankie'! They even have guys who truly showboat after losses!
Not disputing Fitzgerald had the edge for most of the scrap but it's also incorrect to say he always just skates off- there's footage of him in Cardiff this season with him indicating he has a championship belt!

Life through Clan tinted glasses This VT is sanitised the important bit at the end is missing The bit where Fudsgerald takes an upercut and hits the deck He will get another chance in two weeks time but it will be 3rd time unlucky

For me it was the roundhouse kick to the solar plexus which took down Fitzgerald. It's hard to pick it out in the footage produced so far. ;-)

Who cares, who won the fight? Clan won the game... That is what counts after all

Does it really matter, clan played better than Fife and deserved to win 5-2, that' should be the biggest worry for Fife fans, nickerson let the team down by 2 bad mistakes which cost goals 3 and 4 for the clan
