Just watched this fight again and all i can say is WOW,Larry Merchant put it best when he said he was humbled by the 2 of them and so was i for 2 men to punish there bodies like that to give us boxing fans that sort of fight is just incredible Gatti R.I.P you are the most exciting fighter to ever step in a boxing ring.
It was an epic, I'm not sure the next two fights lived up to the trilogy but the first was really brilliant, definately up there with the best fights I've ever seen.
1st fight is beyond brilliant. 9th round is the best ever. As good as the other two fights were (especially) the third nothing compares with number 1. Among the best trilogies of all time.
i agree with this totally. gatti boxed in the second and the penny dropped.... in the first he didn't and thats what made it such a memorable fight.
Shorty after his death, I watched all three fights again. Amazing stuff. The heart displayed by both fighters was incredible.
