John Scott ‘fights’ reporter, reveals tricks of the trade (Video)

When bands hit it big in the music industry, you’ll frequently seen their lesser known albums get a re-release to cash in on the popularity.

That’s really the only explanation we can figure out for this Associated Press story and video of reporter John Marshall fighting NHL All-Star Game Captain and MVP John Scott surfacing now, months after Scott was traded from the Arizona Coyotes.

In any event, it’s a nice glimpse into Scott’s fighting process, and some of his tricks of the trade.

From Marshall:

Against counterpunchers, which he hates, he'll use the stiff left arm he used to grab their jersey to repeatedly pop them in the face until he can clear a lane for his right.

With fighters who flail right from the start, he'll sit back and wait them out, absorbing a few punches until they wear out and he can deliver the knockout blow.

Same thing with big punchers who try to land a haymaker right at the start: Absorb and destroy. “As long as I can get one of mine in, I'll eat one of his all day long,” Scott said.

Yeah, that's not frightening at all.

The video above basically covers the story, but you can read it here as well.

Scott, by the way, only had four fights this season.
