I think Gatti was in trouble a while back due to domestic violence and drink related problems.

Absolutely. Gatti's problems have been out in the open for a long, long time. Drugs, alcohol, violence towards women, etc. His life outside the ring was a lot like his fighting style inside the ring.... reckless, wild, unpredictable.

Obviously it was a shock when I heard he had died. But if someone had said a year or two ago that Gatti would die young, that wouldn't have shocked me at all.

This was something Floyd alluded to in the build up to their fight.

He said it was hypocritcal that HE was being labelled the villian, when Gatti had so many characters flaws himself.

This is an interesting tidbit from Arturo's friend.

Jeremy Filosa, a broadcaster and friend of Gatti's, told CTV News everyone in Gatti's circle of friends knew there were serious problems in the relationship.
"She vandalized his car, she threw stuff at him. At one point, she gave him a black eye. People were making fun of him, saying, 'Here's a world champ, and his girlfriend is beating him up,'" Filosa said.

Meanwhile, Gatti's sister Anna-Marie discussed the violent nature of the couple's relationship.


"I think she was planning what she had to do, and she kept my brother from us because we would have seen what was going on...She always provoked fights and she always said, 'I'm gonna kill you, I'm gonna kill you," said Gatti, recalling that the entire family had warned Arturo to stay away from Rodrigues.
