Youtube: Alfonso Gomez KO7 Arturo Gatti

gomez will probably fight chavez jr next

 

i actually almost cried when he started taking all that punishment and then got knocked down. a piece of me died tonight.

 

That should be a good fight, but i don't think Arum will put him with Gomez, too much risk right now, maybe in 1 year, but not in November.

 

I know you're not a big Kellerman fan, but he did illustrate the point that even prime Gatti was a good but not great fighter, in terms of actual skill. He was great only in terms of the wars he provided, but those were strictly against limited opposition who were tough enough to go long with him, but not enough of a threat to really dominate him. I kind of have to agree with Max's assertion that Arturo was a very carefully handled second-tier fighter with top-tier heart.
