gomes is used to fighting bigger, stronger guys(154/160).... gatti started at what 130-135?? gatti's power has not come up with him weight that well, he couldnt hurt oscar or baldy.... it'll be a good fight, but gomez is bigger, tougher and has less mileage...
It'll be like gomez vs manfredo.....gomez will win by decision or late ko....Gatti is way beyond his prime and was a bum level fighter....
Gatti was undefeated at 130 and beat a couple of pretty good fighters in Patterson and Rueles. He was not a bum level fighter. Put Buddy McGirt in his corner when he was at 135 and he beats Ivan Robinson both times. Gatti was reckless inside and outside of the ring then when he had the potential to win another belt.
Gatti being the biggest puncher he's faced is debatable, Gomez has fought as high as 160(even though not against the best competition), and he has shown a pretty good chin thus far. Should be a good fight.

bums dont get televised on main events, get title shots or win titles for that matter. Even though Gatti is old but Gomez really doesnt have a shot here he gets hit even easier than Gatti and he hasnt fought anyone who hits as hard as him
I've gotten to like Gomez and he looked pretty good against Concepion in the Contender US vs UK. Gatti against a bigger opponent, Baldomir in his last fight didn't look so good and got KOed by a guy with very little KO power. He has gotten older and I think his battles have caught up to him, but he has a tremendous heart and everytime you think he might be done he comes back. It will probably be his last fight so I think he will find some way to pull it off and get the win.
I go with fonso winning this one by UD. Gatti has been through a lot of wars and have taken it's toll on him. Fonso is a fresh and a bigger fighter and he's got enough boxing skill to beat gatti at this point of his career.
I hate that they are wasting a spot where a Mosley or Calzaghe fight could be for a fucking Gatti fight. I like Gatti, but come on this fight means shit.
Gatti is old, tired, ring-worn, and a shell of his former self.
He will still KO Gomez inside of 8.
Last fight of his career and you think he's going to go out losing to Gomez?
It would suck to say that you lost to a fighter at the absolute lowest level of his carreer.
10 years ago no problem for Gatti today, depends how much Gatti has left really. Should be a great fight however, but fighter like to brawl and Gatti delivers ACTION in almost every fight. I go by Gatti on points in a great fight.
