Numbers are in favor of Gatti, but Leija does possess an impressive record. he has victories over francico bojado, mickyward, ivan robinson, and azumah nelson his losses have come at the hands of first class boxers such as mosley and dela hoya. Gatti on the other hand has been magnificent these past few year, his wars with Micky ward and ivan robinson will stay in boxing history forever. He comes to the ring with a 3 inch height and reach, and a 6 year age advantage. The two fighters are very well matched. The fight has all the makings for fight of the year although the spotlight is totally on pacqiao and moralles, this fight should not be ignored.
I am going off topic(moralles v.pacqiao) with this one but does anyone care to comment.

Actually many are also looking forward to this fight. At least I am. In fact I've been waiting for the betting to start on the Fantasy Betting section (Rick?).
Anyway I think based on the numbers this will be a very good match-up. I'm going for Gatti by decision.

Have'nt seen any fight of JJL, so I'll go for gatti. Hope I won't be wrong but I find AG a very classy and intelligent fighter.
QueenCity 01-19-2005, 09:57 PM I think it will be an entertaining and competitive fight, I look for Gatti to ditch much of his newer more defensive boxing style and come out sluggin. I could go either way but I'l say Gatti by a late round knockout.
I also think the Ouma/Kofi Jantuah undercard match could be a great one as well, so January 29th will be a can't miss night in boxing.
I think this is going to be a real close fight, I like Gatti in a war...probably by a split decision.
The undercard could be a fight of the year candidate to with Ouma and Jantuah...both fights are going to be great...if any of you out there are trying to get a buddy into prize fighting this is a must see card!
MlLkMan 01-19-2005, 10:02 PM Gatti by KO in the late rounds.
adeelr 01-19-2005, 10:09 PM Gatti can produce a K.O but if JJL sets the pace of the fight, Gatti might be in for a long fight.
mic573 01-19-2005, 10:10 PM This is a toss up fight in my eyes. Everyone will favor Gatti but something tells me Leija will put up a hell of a performance and get the decision. He's the better boxer in my opinion. I'm actually looking forward to Ouma-Jantuah more than Gatti-Leija I just hope it doesn't disappoint.

reebox8225 01-19-2005, 11:37 PM Gatti will take JJL out late.
jswa17 01-20-2005, 01:16 AM damn...i didn't know Gatti is 38...
well...i think it'll be a very difficult fight for Gatti as long as Leija doesn't brawl and box...but somehow, everybody who fights Gatti goes toe-to-toe with him and evetually gets knocked down...that tells something about Gatti's power, heart, and agility.

Gatti is the ultimate warrior and win or lose he always comes ready and willing to fight. I think Jesse James bit off more than he can chew (see joey gamache) and is going to be KO'd.
Sister Sledge 01-20-2005, 01:45 AM Gatti is a great second-tier fighter. So is Leija. In the history of great fights, this should be a great one. But these fighters are not elite fighters, so the only meaningful thing about this fight is that Gatti holds a belt that he really doesn't deserve to hold. I'd pick Gatti, though, but he needs to fight a real contender
psychopath 01-20-2005, 02:18 AM At 38, Jessie's body won't be able to take that much punishment. So it's got to be Gatti by KO or Decission.
both are solid fighters..neither 1 will win a title at 140

You know it it the WBC Light Welterweight Title fight they will be fighting? :)

Gatti is 32. :)
Nodogoshi 01-20-2005, 03:51 AM I gotta pick Gatti to win but Leija is game as hell and I wouldnt be surprized at all if he won. And, the winner of this fight earns the right to be KO'd by Floyed Mayweather.
