Arturo "THUNDER" Gatti 1972-2009
To alcohol...the cause of and the solution to all of lifes problems...- Homer Simpson
I remember seeing that live and man,I was so disgusted.No security and an absolute free for all....just alot of thugs jumping people and some seriously brutal s!!!.
The one thing that sticks with me Is The announce team and George Foreman standing there saying Saying "No son...Dont do that son...dont do it son ......." He was mostly off camera but I think he was basically shielding Merchant and Lampley.
A good case In point as to what an Influence the entourages and hanger-on's of the fighters can have in a professional contest.No need for 10-15 Rah-rah friends and belt carriers to be allowed in the ring at once.
This is a rule that should definitely be changed. There is no reason for dozens of people to be storming a ring when a fight ends.
The cornermen, the promoter, 1 or 2 family members.. I don't have a problem with them.
But there's no reason for the ring to be overflowing with people as soon as the fight ends. I've seen too many situations where a fighter gets knocked out, and the ring doctor has a hard time even looking at the hurt fighter, because there's a swarm of hangers-on who are flooding the ring and stumbling all over the place.
I think we all forget Larry is down for an all out in arena brawl......All I remember hearing in the mic out of Foreman is "You don't want to do that son...Son you better step back son...I am telling you don't want to come over here"....I think whoever it was made the right choice not too

That Merchant clip is obviously a classic, but does anyone actually know who that guy was and what created that whole situation? I'd love to know.
They had to have had a prior run in.Merchant was about to go street style and get all crazy uncle on him.The funny thing is Zaragoza...he just looks at the ground,No 'surprise' with Interruption
On legandary nights, one of Bowes body guards said that he was arrested and it ruined his chance of becoming a police officer.
Which is good, because it was the dick that ran into the ring and hit Golota in the head with a walkie talky.
Sadly another boxing black eye. A heavweight title fight is the center piece of boxing. What should have been a great fight and a massive promotion for the sport turned into a disgrace. Golota, both entourages, the security and a portion of the fans did boxing yet another dis-service![]()
'To speak with his equal and irish man is forced to talk with God...'
It would take a brave man to advance on Big George.
Matter of fact had it happened we would have seen the biggest punch of the night!
I remeber a mateof mine said the fioghts in the Graden during and after Judah/Cotto were nearly as bad.
Said a heap of Brooklynites walked in shoving peole on the way to their seats. The Rican's were having none of it and things kicked off.
091
For what it's worth, I was at the Garden for Cotto-Judah and I didn't see more than 1 or 2 fights the entire night, and they were quickly broken up by security.
I also didn't see any problems at all after the fight ended and the crowds hit the street. Cotto's fans were all celebrating peacefully in the streets and I didn't see any Judah fans getting in the way.
Golota destroyed Bowe's jab end of Bowe could not adjust to the jab.
I gotta agree...To fight George Foreman with Gloves on your taking a chance that you will be KO'd the first Right he lands on the button....I mean this is the hardest hitting man to ever lace up gloves most believe....
Now to step in on him during a big out of control situation like that where he has no gloves and intends to stop you before you get started...Streetfighting style if need be....
I'll pass but thanks for the offer lol...There would have been murder added to the rest of the charges
