After seeing Gatti fight Paterson, Robinson, Ward, this was just disheartening... I've seen many boxers get retired but this was just a total meltdown.

Gatti said something in an interview a year or so ago, "There will never be another Arturo Gatti. When I'm gone the world is gonna miss me!"

So sad to see but he went out the only way he knew how, on his shield

I think is was true what Manny was saying, that the fight Gomez fought was great and that Gomez would have given Gatti fits even in his prime... He's not a great fighter but decent... He'll do OK.(Best win of the "Contenders" so far)

That being said,

Goodbye Arturo... Please retire!

I'd rather watch your career on my DVD player then see you hurt!





Yeah that killed me last night....Arturo had nothing from the opening bell. He was a shot fighter all together....Yeah maybe in his prime Gomez would have given him fit's anyway but to see Arturo be dominated like that and not even be able to turn it into a war was sad....

Boxing owes Arturo Gatti a big Thank You......When we had no one to make us want to watch Gatti did that for us....

He made us cheer for him even when he lost.....

I wrote once the only time you walk away dis-appointed from an Arturo Gatti fight is because he lost....

Last night after that fight I was dis-appointed because he deserved better then that....

God Bless him and Thanks for All the Memories...There are a lot of them..
