Does Legolas stab Bolg with Orcrist?

That bit right at the start of their fight always confuses me. Legolas goes for the stab but clearly he misses and Bolg has the blade under his arm. I just dont get what its all about. It was like a personal and awkward 2 seconds for Leggy and Bolg. I didnt get it. what did you get from that quick scene?
And also Does anyone believe that Lawrence Makoares voice for Bolg, sounds a little but like Lurtz? I swear there are moments where the similarities are so close
I believe that Azog and Bolg are possibly the only two orcs who may be an exception to the typical evil nature of an orc. Azog had brought up his son, well enough that he actually acknowledges him as his own son. That is a first for any orc. And Bolg sets out to march upon Erebor in vengeance of his fathers death. How many orcs will Try and avenge another dead orc? Most will just forget about the dead one. This gives me hope that Orcs, have some traits of good in them, even if it is small aspects.

And grabbed the blade and pulled Legolas in close to him. I think it was to show how strong he is and also him trying to intimidate Legolas. It also mirrored the scene in FotR when Aragorn stabs Lurtz and he pulls him in closer before Aragorn pulls out his sword and decapitates him.
And, regarding Bolg's voice, I didn't think he sounded at all like Lurtz. The one line I remember Lurtz having, he says "FIND THE HALFLING!" And he has a voice that they obviously did some tweaking to. Bolg's voice is a little higher pitched and sounds less like they did anything to it than Lurtz's voice.
Our destiny lies above us.

Bolg pivots and grabs the top of the blade

... with his left hand:
Then they have a standoff for several seconds; Bolg eventually breaks the standoff by throwing Legolas against the wall, making him drop Orcrist.
Don't mess with my favorite female elf.

is a legitimate medieval combat technique described in period swordplay treatises. It's not hard to do with a single-edge blade like Orcrist, and it's possible even with two-edged blades. It's important to use the correct grip, but the technique isn't hard to learn.

from a 15th century Italian longsword fencing manual.
The man on the left has his opponent's sword trapped under his arm and is about to pummel his face with the pommel on the hilt of his sword. For those of you who don't read late medieval Italian, I'm told that the English translation says:
Holding the blade I beat your sword away
You will have enough of my pommel

Well, Bolg and Lurtz are played by the same actor and they both have Orc blood, so it makes sense you would see some similarities, nice call! :)
