View Full Version : Gatti-Ward I: What A Dull Fight
!! Anorak 02-21-2005, 02:19 PM I'm joking, of course. What a bout! Yeah, it's old news to many, but for a Limey that doesn't get to see all of these matches, then it was everything it should have been.
I'm surprised Gatti lost, but it was close, so that's okay. That sort of match is the sort of thing that if you saw it in a Rocky movie you'd think it was too OTT. Gatti's there after nearly having his head taken off, fighting with nothing left, yet managing to put everything he has into shots. Wow.
All the more surprising (to me, anyway) is that he was hurt and TKOed by that little ***** DLH 14 months earlier.

That "*****" DLH put Gatti on his place. Oscar hurt him with a JAB that set up the first knockdown. Of course, Gatti looked tiny but that match should give you an indication of how good DLH truly is.
AintGottaClue 02-21-2005, 03:49 PM what was the best fight outta the 3 gatti/ward 1 2 or 3

1, Gatti boxed for a 2-3. although all three fighst had its "war" moments.
abdiel2k3 02-21-2005, 03:56 PM i think the second ones a lil better
they seem to pick up the sluggin alot earlier
in the first fight
gatti mananged to keep ward away by boxing
but then when they sluged it out
boy did they
if u havent seen the second one
u should
I went to the Gatti site to watch this & "Click here to get the plug-in' came up. I always struggle with this - what am I supposed to be downloading??!!
!! Anorak 02-21-2005, 05:02 PM I have to give credit to DLH for giving such a one-sided beating to Gatti.
Here's a question: why hasn't Gatti taken on Tzysu yet?
Lol999 02-21-2005, 05:47 PM I got Gatti-Ward 1 and 3 a couple of weeks ago, 1 is a great fight to watch, a right tear up. You could see in 3 that Gatti had got the measure tactically of Ward so repeated his win from fight 2. Didn't Ward come to England a few years back and fight an English fighter, I seem to remember watching him on the tv?
Lol :D
AintGottaClue 02-21-2005, 06:15 PM hmm im a little confused atm gatti had been to war with a guy like ward 3 times and yet none of em got kayo yet here is oscar who layed the beatdown on gatti like he was nothing. anyone else think prime total focused oscar de la hoya is unstoppable at welter?

well here the thing
gatti was a blown up 147
and DLH was a pretty much natural 147 guy
so its pretty easy to see why DLH just ran over gatti
