The forum is back up...so let's discuss Wacko's Drunken RBR Gatti vs Baldomir

[Wacko3205]

Call me crazy but if i was in a close fight and took a shot that hurt me, the last thing i would do is hang my a** on the ropes and bounce up and down, while taking shots, with my hands down and not throwing many punches. I would be holding on until i regained my composure. What a terrible ending to a good fight. Rounds three and nine are the only rounds baldomir dominated, in my book. Gatti landed as many hard shots as baldomir, but baldomir never seemed hurt by them. Close fight, until the knockout.

Not a close fight. Baldomir was outpointing Gatti & on top of that...hardly any of Gatti's shots hand any effect against Baldomir.

Your right Gatti couldn't hurt Baldomir, but it seemed every shot Baldomir landed hurt

True...for a guy that has so very few KO's on his dossier...he put a hell of a wacking on Judah & especially Gatti.

What shall the future hold?

Hopefully another big fight next. Mayweather, Hatton, Margarito or even Mosley should be on his hit list

A good title reign. I said Baldomir was the real deal but knocking out Gatti was a shock. Gatti has a great chin but he couldn't take the non stop barrage of punches.

I can say the same fate awaited Judah if he didn't get on his bike. Gatti didnt get on his bike and we see what just happened.

I think all the wars have caught up with Gatti, sure he was competitive but all of a sudden seemed to wilt. Hope Baldomir keeps fighting the top guys

[Purist]

Thats because Gatti couldn't hurt him was why he wilted. He wanted to knock Baldomir out and when he couldn't he gave up

I don't think Gatti gave up, I've never seen Gatti give up, I just think he's got nothing left

[Purist]

he gave up mentally because you can tell he went out headhunting and he couldn't knock Baldomir out, so he got discouraged so he started trying everything, but then he mentally gave out, he would have kept fighting but he knew he wasn't going to win

Baldomir just beat him down, Gatti ain't what he used to be. Call it what you want but all the wars have taken their toll, Gatti would have always fought on to the finish. But every shot that Baldomir landed looked like it rocked Gatti

Baldomir was impressive & IMO it may be best that Hatton stays away after seeing hoe he did against Callazo! PBF will easily take Baldomir for the belt

I definently agree that Hatton would have some issues with Baldomir.

Not sure about Floyd will Baldo...I kind of go back & forth with that. Baldomir appeared a lot more dominant than his last go with Judah.

Floyd will easily out land him...I'm just curious as to how Floyd will hold up to that accurate of a heavy hitter.

For some reason...I just constantly worry about the weight...but then I want to see Oscar vs Floyd...contradiction after contradiction.

Let's just say that I think Floyd has a much easier night with Baldo than Hatton would.

[Majesty]

Remember Zab outboxing him for 6 rounds. Floyd has the mental concentration to not stop. And don't but the Gatti isn't a 147 pounder stuff because neither was judah. Mayweather decisions Baldomir
