Sounds like Gatti had a lot of problems in his life

IS this just hearsay to assassinate Arturo's character and an excuse to murder him? I'm not saying he didn't beat her but it's kind of funny it's being brought out right now. And I sure wonder who are these sources?

If they were both drunk and had a domestic disupte earlier in the night, why is it wrong to bring up the fact that he's had past problems with alcohol and violence? It seems pretty relevant to the situation.

You can show someone respect when they die without having to ignore all their bad qualities/decisions.

There are some women who are fiery enough to hit a man. One of my ex's once pulled my hair, scratched my face and then stabbed me just over the eye with a fork. She tried her hardest to get me to hit her when she was drunk. She was jealous to the extreme and tried her hardest for me to make her a victom. I never would and just would end up buying polyfill to fill the holes I would punch in the wall.

It does not excuse a guy hitting a girl, but they seemed to have an intense jealous relationship. He could have been a mean drunk, or she may have been like my ex Karen!

What I can say though is stabbling him in back of the head, and then strangling him to death while he was down, is pre-meditated. Compounding that is her being able to go to sleep and leave his body there for 10 hours, then calling the cops and trying to cover it up.

I knew about Gatti & his issues with domestic violence long before this & I was suspicious in the back of my mind. As much as I don't want to see this said about Gatti, I was critical of articles about MJ that ignored his private life, so I've gotta have the same standards here.

If he had been seriously abusing her & I mean seriously, then she could be looking at manslaughter, which if he was would be fair, however I think it unlikely as it seems it was problems with booze & drugs that led to his vioulence. Also the descriptions are very vague. If he got drunk and/or high & hit her that is very different to getting angry & near beating her to death a la Chris Brown. I really disagree with hitting women & like to think I would never do it, but ANY man who says he's never even thought about it is lying.

On the other hand, Michael Marley, like all too many of the boxing media, is an unprofessional journalist who feeds on being controversial & 'edgy' rather than actually being any good (Steve Kim & Dougie Fischer also fit this mould nicely). It almost seems like he wants to justify Gatti's death, Gatti was probably rude to him in an interview & this is how the brave writer gets his own back

I seriously doubt she slept much if at all. Was he on vacation or did he live there now?

They were on vacation. From some news sources, apparently what happened was they got into a spat outside the nightclub, Gatti pushed her and she fell down, and then he hitched a cab with the baby to their rented condo and left her there. Why they had the baby at a nightclub I have no idea.

He then puts the baby down to sleep and passes out. She comes in later and kills him in his sleep.

That is what the Brazillian cops said anyway.

Damn; f#cking crazy stuff. Cause babies and dance clubs go well together

Thx. Dean.

Well everything will come out of the trial and we'll see how much of it is true.
And even if Gatti abused her which of course is wrong, it just seems like that article is trying to justify that he deserved to get killed. No human being deserves to get murder like that. And that's what I got from reading that article that he deserves to get kill.

As long as it don't come out that Gatti molested kids I really don't give a fukk what he did outside the ring. My opinion of him don't change one bit. They should give that biitch the chair or the needle

I'm sure he has alot of family that will step in.Whatever happens in the trial I cant see The wife being given custody but thats pretty far down the road.Kids are always left to deal with the adults BS.

if the bitch hits first, give it back to her. You hit women that hit you or else they think they can get away with. It's called respect.

LOL...If you say so.

I got into a bad fight with my ex one night and she was throwing the tv and breaking glasses and all; I just sat there and watched her. She had been boiling eggs and it was still in the pan on the stove. She picked it up and wound back her arm and I really thought she would throw it; she knew I wouldn't hit a girl, but I told her "if you try to throw that on my face you'll never get past your shoulder before I open you up like a pinata". Luckily for her she didn't; that stuff would have fried my face and I'd of looked like Rocky from Mask. I did hit my sister once when I was 12 but she asked for it

Great story I know

I believe in equal opportunity for all. isn't that what western society is all about? Equal treatment of women? If a woman hits a man first I believe it is not wrong of the man to hit her. For all we know Gatti's wife assaulted him first and he returned the favor. If a man hits another man first and the man that was hit retaliates it's okay, but if the scenario happens with a woman it is not.

I remember this incident that happened years ago where a couple was getting into an argument at the mall and then the female hits the male saying things like, "you punkass bitch I know you ain't got what it takes to hit me, fukk you!" She continue hitting him another 4 or 5 times in the face and then she said that she was sleeping with his best friend and said he was bigger down there than him, the next thing you know she got laid out from a straight right cross! All of the guys that were watching applauded.

I believe if you hit another person first, male or female, you deserve to get checked.
