fact:gatti has knocked out 15 guys in the first round in his pro career.

ways he could win:

1.with the crowd going nuts gatti goes ballistic right out of the starting gate. he throws dozens of punches in a row with almost half of them landing.he takes mayweather by suprise and confuses his gameplan. mayweather retailiates but amazingly with little effect on gatti. for once gatti is moving his head side to side slipping punches, only because he's making like a hatton windmill and throwing non stop punches.
or

2.mayweather hurts gatti.he starts clowning around, doing windups or mohamed ali shuffles while he's going inside for the kill.he stays on the inside too long. a direct hit to the head of gatti and the yelling from the crowd wakes gatti up. gattis eyes seem to be swollen shut but he goes ballistic again and diggs at the gut and head of mayweather.mayweather trys hugging and putting his forearm in gattis throat. gatti throws a powerfull direct hit to floyds balls, then a hard right to the head. ref takes a point away from gatti and gives mayweather 5minutes. mayweather never recovers and in the post interview exibits a falsetto voice.

3.mayweather hurts his brittle hands and has to fight one armed.


all in all i think this is going to be a dirty fight. which i feel will be an advantage for gatti. anything to disrupt mayweathers speed and skills and gameplan.

gatti is going to need help from mayweather to win this one.

Mayweather won't be stupid until he gets a big lead.

Gatti has no chance in my opinion. But Nobody does against Mayweather.

agree. lets hope mayweather makes mistakes and gatti takes advantage of it. its the only way i see gatti winnibg

mayweather can only make the mistake of leaving the side of his head open not blocking the body and not moving around. i think mayweather will win but im sort of getting more confident with gatti although its all talk. we will see on saturday night.

come in at 161 and smoother mayweather...but even still he might get smacked around doing that...gatti wont win on points

the title of this thread made me think of the simpsons episode where homer fights tatum

moe: im not gunna lie to you, youve got a good chance of beating tatem, but you have to imagine how youre going to do it

homer's imagination of him wearing the belt, announcer comes on: "a congenital heart defect has failed tatem moments before he could step into the ring"

Gatti could win by catching Floyd while doing his tricks, than getting a stoppage.

has to brawl and look for the KO, has to rush at him, and taunt him. its a mind game... like rocky vs mr.t lol "is that all you got (gets knocked down), comon thts it... ur not so bad, u aint all great"

The only way that Gatti wins this fight is if he brings a gun into the ring with him. I am normally not this outspoken about my predictions but Gatti is just WAY out-classed here. If he makes it through the full twelve rounds then he should be very proud of himself, cause Floyd is just levels above in this one.

Gatti isn't going to get any help from MW.

MW will not clown around, he may talk smack about Gatti, but he is too smart not to know that Gatti has the punchers chance.

Chop Chop rocked mayweater, Gatti could do it too, I don't think he is gonna let him. He might get in there a few times and fight but, he is gonna move around make gatti tire out and pick his punches, I expect Gatti to be a bloody mess.

I don't think MW will hurt his hands, and even if he does, he could out box gatti with one hand tied behind his back.

A windmill assult won't help Gatti, Floyd's D is good, he CAN take a shot, it's just not gonna be a night for Gatti.

And I really feel for Gatti if he trys to box MW, his only chance is an assult on him, but even then, it leaves him very little chance.

i'm reading more and more about mayweather running and making gatti chase. that will make for a boring fight. hope it dont work out that way.
