ARTURO GATTI's FAREWELL FIGHT against...

why not EMANUEL AUGUSTUS? He could have fought him anyway, if more fair judges had judged his fight with MICKEY WARD. Im not sayin Ward didnt win the fight, but the scores were rediculous, it could have gone either way. And now, with augustus's seemingly dimished skills, it is a very winable fight for Gatti. And i havent seen Augustus in a fight that he's trained for for over 6 weeks in a loooong time. HBO said they would only air Gatti's farewell fight if its against a live opponent, and a prepared Augustus can be a very tought fight. In terms of management, i think it would be a good choice for Arturo Gatti and his team. thoughts?

He wont fight Augustus because Augustus could actully beat him. Ward beat Augustus, by the way, but what a fight! Its a shame the scoring was so poor. I was at Ward/Augustus in the Hampton beach casino.Great fight!It's actually the fight that got me full blown into boxing.Im sure im not the only one who was made a fan that night though.Anyways,as for Gatti facing Augustus in his farewell fight.It sounds good to me,why not?The way that Gatti is,im sure he doesn't want to face a complete bum in his last fight.But im sure he doesn't want to face a huge threat either.Augustus is right in the middle.

They should have saved Thomas Damgaard for gatti's retirement fight, a guy with an undefeated record on paper but who didnt have a great chance at beating gatti would have been perfect as a farewell fight. Maybe Litzau? or hernandez the guy who beat litzau? I wouldnt be surprised if HBO picked that Salita guy as an attempt for future marketing like they tried to do with litzau.

i want gatti to win a welterweight title. how about kermit cintron or for the soon-to-be-vacant WBC welter title? Killer destroys Thunder now, under 7rounds, probably quicker, Gatti's punch resist6ance and recovery have faded too far to beat a puncher like Cintron

Its a shame the scoring was so poor. yea im not saying augustus definetly won the fight, it could have gone either way. But i will always say that Augustus got robbed because he never had a chance at winning a decision. That was awful scoring.

That would be the St. Valentines massacre all over again. Gatti stands no chance at winning that fight whatsoever.
