    Diego beats him like a drum from the opening bell and scores the crushing KO in rd. 3

    Once again, you have no idea what you're talking about. Gatti lost to Manfredy, because Angel was a better all around fighter. Chico crushed Manfredy, because he's on a different level altogether from either of them. Gatti was a gatekeeper. Chico, Freitas, Casa, Castillo were on the other side of that gate and any of those four would obliterate Gatti. A complete mismatch. Gatti gets absolutely crushed.

    Chico, but you just know he'd have made it a tougher fight than it had to be.

    Chico made some fights tough by brawling with smaller guys instead of boxing them from long range, which is something he was capable of but rarely chose to do. In Gatti's case, Chico would want to close the distance and close the show quick.

    Gatti uses his legs for the first round or two, Chico finally lands a good shot, Gatti goes to war and gets KTFO after one or two vicious exchanges.

    Chico, but one punch can change everything. Chico didn't have the strongest wiskers.

    Corrales by UD. Very exciting battle.

    After Gatti lost quite a lot late in his career I see a lot of people predict almost everyone over him by KO. Gatti wasn't easy to stop and he absorbed insane punishment in his best day and kept going trying to land his own power shots.

    Hoya made him look like a bobblehead. PBF outclassed and crushed him in every way possible. This is what happened anytime Gatti stepped up to an elite fighter, he doesn't belong in the same ring with Chico and you should know that.

    After having a little trouble early on, Corrales would tear Gatti up. His shots were so much shorter and traveled less distance. Gatti might have some success boxing and moving, which troubled Corrales. But as soon as Corrales lands a good shot and stuns Gatti, Gatti goes to war. While this gives Gatti a chance at stopping the less than granite chinned Corrales, it also gives Corrales lots of openings. Gatti liked to wing those wide left hooks, while Corrales threw such short shots that would likely reach the target first. That would be the main difference.

    I know that but what happened to Chico when he fought Mayweather?, he lasted longer but was knocked down what?, 14 times?

    Those are two aggressive styles and both will be landing. DLH/Gatti was a disgrace of a fight, did you see the size difference in that one?, it was just another typical DLH fight with him looking like Godzilla against yet another opponent brought up in weight because good money is being offered, nothing else.

    This will be one sided for Corrales but will have competitive moments, a KO for Corrales is NOT my prediction but possible late TKO which I don't see either, a UD sounds more logical.

    Corrales dispatches him. Gatti was no elite fighter.
