wtf was Gatti doing in the Floyd fight

Interesting that reference is made to the Mayweather fight yet not a word about the Gomez fight.

The damage caused by Gomez was far more severe.

 

Mcgirt trains all his fighters the same, no matter who. Mcgirt took Adamek who was successful at being a wild aggressive fighter, and tried to turn him into a boxer against Dawson. Adamek is not going to 'outbox' Dawson, just look at his fights with Briggs. But Adamek does hit hard and has a good chin! Mcgirt trying to make him into a boxer took away all his strengths. Mcgirt is the worst trainer I can think of.

 

If you dont understand, then I say you're not familiar with the way Gatti fights, or you're just not very observant of his style and capabilities.

Before Gatti hooked up with McGirt, he was a fighter that stood mid-range and winged it. He got into alot of give and take wars that way and took alot of punishment along the way.

When McGirt began to train him, to save and further his career, because he had already taken alot of punishment in his career.
McGirt had Gatti do alot more boxing, alot of working off the jab and circling lateral movement.
Still he could be easily lured into a slugfest.

Now, Gatti's plan vs Mayweather...... Yes, McGirt had Gatti try to box, but what else was Gatti going to do? Stand midrange and wing shots at Mayweather like Gatti had done in his younger days?

.....either way, Gatti had zero chance to beat or even compete with Mayweather even had Gatti been on his prime best night.

You could'nt make a fighter more suited for Mayweather's style and fighting talent than Gatti if you tried.


There are quite a few people, mainly Mayweather fans, that are going to be in complete shock and disbelief when Mayweather begins his quest in the ring in his attempt to box Ricky Hatton.
They think that Mayweather is going to have the same easy time with Hatton that he did with Gatti.

The only thing that can be associated with both fighters is that both have a penchant to want to brawl.

.....but their is a big difference between Hatton and Gatti. Hatton is a grade A infighter. Hatton applies alot of pressure, gets on the inside and wants to keep it on the inside, along the way getting very physical and bruising his way in with arms and shoulders.

Hatton is eons above the caliber of Gatti, while Gatti had about zero defence to stop incoming, Hatton is able to nuliffy a fighters offense by disrupting it with bumps and clinches, and punches coming off of clinches......

A totally different style of that of Arturo Gatti who was never suffocating pressure type fighter who wanted to stay at close range.

Hatton is a pressure fighter to stay at close range, Gatti simply was'nt.
Most of Gatti's damage were caused by shots delivered at mid-randge, and Gatti loved the mid-range game, which is not a style suited to beat a fighter who is eons above you in quickness, speed, and ability!

Stay tuned to be shocked Mayweather fans, Hatton is at the very least going to push Mayweather to the limit, if not beat him!

 

If Gatti went all out trying to knock him out, he would get stopped in 1 round. You have to remember Gatti was past his prime at that point and weight drained so his power wasnt there, he had absolutely no chance whatsoever.

 

best line ever

 

If it comes down to Mayweather needing to tie Hatton on the inside, thats bad news for Mayweather......if there is one think that the Tszyu fight showed of Hatton is that he could punch himself out of and do great damage coming out of the clinch.
Believe me, Mayweather wants no part of clinches when it comes to fighting Hatton, he wants to avoid those at all cost.
Ricky Hatton is one of the best of letting hard shots fly out of a clinch.


No question that Hatton is going to get hit by Mayweather on the way in.....but if you noticed, when Gatti got hit by Mayweather, his feet stayed planted in the same spot to repeatedly get teed off on......
Hatton will have his feet shuffling foward to smuther Mayweathers shots, and get into a clinch that would benefit him if need be!

Its going to be very interesting how Mayweather deals with fighting and dealing with fighting at a distance that does'nt suit his comfort zone.

Mayweather can certainly win, he's obviously a special talent.
But I have no doubt in my mind that Hatton is going to make Mayweather expend more energy than he's used to.
Mayweather is going to have to keep very busy throwing punches (something he's not accustomed) how much energy he has down the stretch of the fight is going to be key.
I'm not convinced that Mayweather can fight at a high pace with a bruising, pressuring, active fighter who is going to be digging hard to the body.
Its going to be interesting to see to say the least!

 

Because Buddy jacked him all up mentalli and skillfully. We have Gatti here thinking he's going to outbox Mayweather. This is when he needed to try to engage PBF in toe to toe rather than trying to beat him to the jab and box around him.atsch

 

McGirt did the same **** with Brewster. Sent him into the ring vs Sergei Lyakhovich thinking he was Sugar Ray Robinson. You knew he was headed for trouble when McGirt spent the whole build up talking about what a slick boxer Brewster now was.

 

Indeed, I remember that.

Mcgirt just thinks if he teachs every fighter flawless technique, things will just take care of themself. In Brewster's case, he might as well just forget about techinique, and let his hands go. Brewster has a very good chin & punch, and needs to fight aggressive. Yeah, Brewster gets hit alot, but to be effective he has to. Brewster is not going to outbox a top HW, it is nonsense.

 

Getting his ass kicked.
