I think when it is a guy like Thornton who doesn't give a crap about fighting then no it isn't likely to prevent it.
I would say if anything that fighting might prevent the keep slashes that happen a lot in CIS and Euro hockey as a. guys have a way to 'get a guy' if they want ie fight him and b. the cheap little pricks aren't able to have free reign as much.
But likely proper reffing/suspensions does more to prevent it than fighting.
