Arturo Gatti dead?

I can't believe I'm saying this, but, GASP! I like your style.

That's the best two rounds out of all three, IMO.

 

Did you just post the same link in the same thread twice?

 

That's too bad. I always liked Gatti. He wasn't the best fighter (not by a long shot), but he was a real warrior in the ring. You never got through watching one of his fights and wondered if he had given it his all. The man fought hard for 3 minutes every round and got back up numerous times when a lot of other fighters would've called it a night.

 

Bert Sugar was telling a story tonight where Gatti took 15 straight punches, and was saved by the bell in the fourth round of a fight, then comes back and wins by KO the very next round.

 

Sounds like what happened in the second Clubber Lang fight in Rocky III.

 

I'd like to see the floorplan.

 

And then he knocked boots with your mothe....oops, wrong Clubber.

And amen to that, lono

 

Sirs, Madames,

Worked just one of his fights -- his last quality victory, over Leonard Dorin -- but as rough as he looked in pictures, close up in person you'd have bet that he had just been rolled in an alley by six guys with baseball bats. He wore all of his fights on his face.

The scene at Boardwalk Hall was amazing. His fan base wasn't like anything else I've seen. I just remember the celeb introductions ... polite applause for a few ex-champs, sprinkling of clapping for Willie Mays and Dick Butkus ... and last celeb introduced, a standing ovation: Tony Sirico, skunklines along temples and all.

If a Montreal Hilton is your brother-in-law you're asking for trouble.

A great champion. RIP.
