To start off I think this was a murder and she got the OJ treatment. If she did it in the US I think she'd be guilty. I went online and read this article here from a celeb website and was just so disgusted Amanda Carine Barbosa Rodrigues, a 23-year-old former exotic dancer, looked unfazed as cops escorted her out of a police station in Recife, Brazil. The stunners eyes were hidden by giant designer sunglasses as she walked to a police cruiser in low-rise blue jeans and a clingy white top that showed off the toned physique that first caught Gattis eye. The busty bombshells purse was found stained with blood in their rented apartment at the luxurious Dorisol Resort in the turquoise-water paradise town of Porto de Galinhas. She is the only suspect, a police spokesman said. The couple who had met while she danced at a club in Brazil were vacationing there to celebrate a second honeymoon after rekindling their relationship following a brief breakup, friends said. Carl Moretti, who promoted many of Gattis fights, said he always worried the 37-year-old former Jersey City star spent too much time in strip clubs This content is protected picking up the wrong women. Among friends who knew him, no one felt that this was a good relationship, Moretti said. The relationship was not based on love. It could get violent at times. Moretti said he had heard through Gattis manager, Pat Lynch, that Rodrigues threw a lamp at Gatti on a recent trip to Montreal. They were always fighting, he said. It never stopped. But clearly, you didnt think that it would lead to this. This content is protected Authorities detained the tight-bodied beauty early yesterday because of contradictions in her story when she was first questioned. Police called her version of what had happened inconsistent and incoherent. Rodrigues could not explain how she had spent nearly 10hours in the room without noticing that Gatti was dead, authorities said. The couple went to a bar Friday night and began to argue, witnesses said. Rodrigues told cops Gatti got drunk, hit her and pushed her to the floor. Witnesses said the two were still fighting when they returned from the bar early Saturday morning. Rodrigues was being examined at the Medical Legal Institute near their vacation spot and will spend the night in prison. Gatti, who won 40 of his 49 professional fights, including 31 by knockout, was raised in Montreal but became a star in Atlantic City, where he won his first title. He moved to New Jersey in 1991 and delighted crowds there until his retirement in 2007. Nicknamed Thunder, he won world championships in two different weight classes, 130 pounds and 140pounds. She murdered her husband and left her child an orphan, said Lou DiBella, a former executive at HBO who put together several of Gattis more memorable fights. Now shes going to spend the rest of her life in prison. This is just too much a tragedy. I cant believe she used her good designer purse as a weapon! First instead of sympathy for Gatti and putting blame on the killer they keep praising her over and over and say what she is wearing. And the last part about the designer hand bag part is just a disgrace. This author is an *******.
well...maybe the part that referred to her as tight bodied... :nut but the article still points all the fingers at her.
"the busty bombshell" Really? Do her looks matter that much? Gatti died that's more important to know than how that fluzie looks.
I did not find anything wrong with this article. Seemed pretty precise and poetic. Usage of assonance and alliteration is good for audience attention. Ex: Busty Bombshell
Puts one of Floyd's best performances into perspective, a woman was able to do a much better number on him.
nobody knows what really happened. at first it seems like she got away with it but who really knows? and picking up women from strip clubs( if this is accurate) usually isnt a wise decision.
Coroners in two different countries have ruled it a suicide. They said Gatti was suspended in the air, choked to death, and eventually fell. I doubt his wife would be able string him up like that.
I agree with the doubt. But we'll never have proof. And people that have posted with me know how much I love Gatti, but I have to deal with never having that proof. I can only imagine how his freinds and family feel about not having this "proof" that she did that ****.
