Adam McQuaid and Zenon Konopka's second fight of the 2010-11 season was a strange one, as most of the landed punches came from about three inches away.

Konopka grabbed the collar of the B's defenseman early in the bout, and it was from there that he connected on most of his punches –- short, quick jabs into the chin and face of McQuaid.

McQuaid whiffed on a few looping right hooks, but Konopka did not, finishing off the rookie with a big shot to the side of the head.
