Joe landed the biggest punch of the fight, which ended it. Clear win. Makes Benn look lame for people to make false stories about how he won. Joe is bigger and he won, no shame for Benn. That Thornton missed some punches doesn't make it a draw. "When the Bruins traded Joe they wanted him to do more of this to be like Lindros. Still one of the dumbest trades for the Bruins." Bruins ended up flipping the players in that deal to be Seidenberg and Ference. Thornton never won a cup nor scored 30 since leaving Boston, so not an awful deal.
