Was a good handover type fight.

it wasnt really a hit on the break, the ref never called break

maybe he should have tho
At first I thought he didn't, but after watching it a few times, the ref definatley called break and then Floyd popped one off. Then while Gatti was complaining to the ref about it, Floyd smashed him down! You can't argue with it, "defend yourself at all times" and all that. But it's not very sporting.

Fore arm to elbow is quite close, either way he does end up striking with parts of his arm other than gloves at times.

Floyd was punch perfect in that fight, Gatti never even got close.
