Gatti was not the same for the rest of the fight and a stupid ref wrecked another potentially good fight. There was a major speed difference but gatti was doing very good defensively in the first round until the ref screwed things up.
How did Floyd hit him with cheap shots? The ref hadn't said to stop punching so he did what he's supposed to which is hit his opponent. That's Gatti's fault for not protecting himself at all times, if something unintelligible is said why assume it's break. Are you seriously suggesting Gatti would have won but for that? He was so outclassed it was ridiculous, Gatti was getting caught flush well before that, if you think Gatti could have outboxed him you must either really hate Floyd or have some kind of mental impairment
