how does a player who can fight help his team? how does winning a fight help a team win a game? do you mean injuring another player and taking him out of the game?

I'm not really sure if you understood my post...
I'm saying that a guy who just fights is not much help to his team. However, as a secondary skill, it's useful for a couple reasons - getting the crowd in to the game/firing up your team, and protecting a teammate. The opposition may hesitate before throwing a big hit on a star, if they know they're going to have to fight someone afterwards.
Players rarely get injured in fights, although it does happen. Most often, they get injured from late or dirty hits. The type of hit you may think twice about if you know there's a fight coming after you do it.
