Boxing Note

by bigmoog on July 12, 2009 · 0 comments

“Thunder” Arturo Gatti was found dead at the young age of 37 .  As anyone that follows boxing knows, Gatti had several of the most thrilling fights in recent memory, if not some of the all-time great fights.  4 times Gatti held ”fight of the year” by Ring Magazine and  at 40-9, with 31 KOs and 2 world titles Gatti had a career to be proud of, but nothing epitomizes his hard nosed never-quit style than his 3 amazing bouts with Mickey Ward.  In fact it was Ward, one of my personal favorite athletes, let alone boxers (as an Irishman and Boston native I’m pretty sure that I am required to view him as a legend), that really introduced me to Gatti.  The Gatti-Ward fights in 2002 and 2003 are, simply put, awesome and for anyone that has not had the pleasure of watching them, or for anyone that hasn’t seen them in a few years, they are a must watch – you will not be disapointed.
