Whom ever killed him, One thing is for sure. I bet they had their hands full before they got him.

Very nice.Great vid

R.I.P Arturo. You won't be forgotten.

Great Video

Thanks

Cool vid, RIP Arturo.

Great video.

Still in shock.

RIP

Just wanted to say. When I first seen this on the internet yesterday I couldn't help but get choked up. I remember being a young kid and my brother used to talk about this guy Arturo Gatti. I seen a couple of fight's and knew he was a tough son of a bitch. Until a few years later I watched the De La Hoya Trinidad fight. After that fight I vowed (even as a fifteen year old) to not watch boxing again I thought it was fixed.

After a few more years rolled on I happenend to turn on the T.V. one night and Arturo Gatti was fighting Mickey Ward. I simply said " Damn Gatti is still around". I watched this fight from beginning to end and I could not believe my eyes. Simply the best fight I have ever seen and nothing will probably match that. Needless to say this fight got me back into watching boxing again. Then I started my own little amatuer career and who knows maybe professionally soon but I will always remember it was my first amatuer fight and the kid I was facing was training in Jersey city. My trainer and I went to do some scouting and as I talked to the other kid's trainer I found out that I had just missed Arturo (who trained there) an hour earlier. I was furious. Again another few years later I was going to buy ticket's to to see him fight Mayweather and I was sure he would beat him to the body and pound him into submission.But I simply passed that opportunity because it cost too much.Now that I look back I should have went.

Arturo you will be deeply missed. By me and my family, and my dear wife who hates to watch boxing but she always knew his name and on those night's he was fighting she was always glued to the T.V. because she knew she would be entertained for the night.
