As first reported on this site, WBC light welterweight champion Arturo "Thunder" Gatti is having a problem making the light welterweight limit of 140-pounds. The Montreal man now based in New Jersey spoke to our very own Sergio Martinez about the fact that he cannot accommodate the weight limit anymore and win or lose on Saturday night, he intends to feel out another fight at the welterweight limit of 147-pounds. Tomorrow, SaddoBoxing will provide coverage of the weigh-in proceedings from Atlantic City and do not miss our exclusive coverage of the big fight coming to you after a great week's build-up.
