Arturo Gatti Found dead :(

[Boxerharvey]

Been on my stag do all weekend and only just logged on and heard the tragic news. Gatti wasnt the most gifted fighter in terms of skill but man he had one of the biggest hearts in boxing.
RIP Arturo Thunder Gatti you will be missed by all thanks for the memories!!

[Fenster]

you mutt.

Did he marry a german shotputter? It takes a fair whack to cave a skull in.

I assume he was sleeping, seeing as he was in bed in his underpants, so could have been whacked out easily. Or it's more than a head wound that killed him.

So what's your theory, genius?

His wife has been taken in by Police.

Is this the same wife that was in tears at the Alfonso Gomez bout ?

Must be.

It shows how ridiculous life is. A year or so ago she was having a fit watching her husband get punched in the mouth now she murders him.

For real; shows how fragile love can be or the illusions of love anyways. Did that make sense Time to go back to bed.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

He was lying on his bed, in his underpants, with a head wound but no mention of a botched robbery?

His wife must have done it.

Mouthy? Don't think so.

What did you think happened? It seems like the Mutt was correct, no?

No, it's not the same woman. I thought it was initially, but I just found this video that gives details of his death, and it shows her being taken in by the police, and it's not the same woman from the Gomez fight.

You sure? If that woman had blond hair it could be the one from the Gomez fight, maybe?

First reports were, his head was bashed in. It's also hard to strangle someone unless they're dead to the world. They tend not to like it and struggle a tad. I stand by what I said it takes a fair amount of strength to do it unless the victim is unconscious.

If it's true and looking at her size in the VT should could be Khan's next opponent.

Positive. This girl is tiny compared to the other woman, and the face is totally different. Plus, if it was the same woman, that means the woman from 2 years ago was only 21, and no way in hell was that woman 21.

Yeah, all very intriguing. What was going on with Gatti?

I'm sure we are all curious to know what was going on in his life for it all to lead where it did.

Just an FYI.


On Sunday, July 12, ESPN Classic will pay tribute to Arturo Gatti by replaying some of most memorable fights:

6 p.m. ET -- Arturo Gatti-Tracy Harris Patterson I
7 p.m. ET -- Arturo Gatti-Tracy Harris Patterson II
8 p.m. ET -- Arturo Gatti-Wilson Rodr�*guez
9 p.m. ET -- Ivan Robinson-Arturo Gatti I
10 p.m. ET -- Ivan Robinson-Arturo Gatti II
11 p.m. ET -- Arturo Gatti-Joe Hutchinson

Did anyone manage to record the Tracy Harris Patterson fights ?

[BoxingGorilla]

I called Gatti names like "Leatherface" and "Tinman of Oz" on a regular basis. I also stated that Gatti, James Toney and Sam Peter would make an outstanding commentating crew.

Still, when I heard of the tragedy I was saddened. Despite all my jabbing, I understood that Gatti was a soldier who would unseat my teeth should I dare to challenge him.

What a heartbreaking end to the story of Arturo "Thunder" Gatti.

Not sure how long, but it has to be at least 19 months, since their kid is 10 months old, and then you have to add in the 9 months of pregnancy. So I guess they met shortly after the Gomez fight, or he was seeing her on the side, when he was with the other woman.

Anyways, here is the latest news.
