[DCCJL]

i think this is gonna be an exciting fight and im looking foward to it. hope Gatti just gets a KO and retires.

 

[LeedsLad]

It'd be nice to see Gatti get a KO, and i think he will probably win actually.

 

[TysonJones]

i would do boxing proud if gatti can win and at the same time writes off another oen of these contenders.

 

[LeedsLad]

Il be cheering Gatti, i always enjoy watching him. Gatti is always entertaining and you gotta love the heart...

 

[TysonJones]

i agree and anuyone who says hbo made him a star is wrong. His heart made him a star. hes one of my all time favs.

 

[TysonJones]

gatti weighed in at 146
and gomex weighed in at 147,.

 

[LeedsLad]

Good that they both made the weight!

History will repeat itself

We all saw what happened to Manfredo when he went up against a world class fighter. I would expect to see the same result in this match. You can't even give Gomez a puncher's chance, because Gatti won't go down.

Welcome to the board.

Gatti's chin isnt as good as the old days. Baldomir who wasnt regarded as a puncher knocked him out

You can't compare todays Gatti to Calzaghe. Gatti is way past his prime. Gomez has a chance tonight. The Gatti of old would kill Gomez though.

You couldn't have been more wrong. Gomez by 7th Round Ko in one of the most one sided fights I've seen in a while. Awesome display.

 

[Captainobvious]

I thought it would be more competitive than that, but I guess Gatti really is finished.

 

[skilspaydabills]

Darn it's hard when you hear how a fighter who has done alot for the sport goes down, I guess gatti will be hanging them up now.

 

[DCCJL]

well that sucked. at least he came to his senses to retire. i'll be watching his many awesome fights for years to come.

 

[TysonJones]

it was sad but all i want to say is thank you gatti for providiung us with some awesome memories. you are a definent hof'er. no matter what anyone says.

 

[MadcapMaxie]

Was pulling for Gatti but it just wasn't there. Age does matter. And Gatti has provided fight fans with an action-packed career, so he can be proud of that.

As for Gomez, let him enjoy this now. He'll soon face an opponent, one who's under 35, who'll take him to school.
