IBF Clears Arturo Gatti vs. Lovemore Ndou

[Mr. Ryan]

Whats up asian? what happen to Gatti vs Malanagi?

The latest word I was getting with conversations from the source I had. I had heard those three names thrown up, Gatti, Malignaggi, and N'Dou. In fact, in my article about the Malignaggi-Cherry fight, I even sourced that N'Dou was the guy who Malignaggi was going to fight. All that changed the next day when I got my tip and it turns out that N'Dou is fighting Gatti instead.

gatti by UD.

i'd like to say, gatti by TKO, but if jr witter and cotto cant stop ndou, i dont think gatti will.

[JoeR]

It pains me to say this, but I think Ndou will beat Gatti by a close decision. Gatti has become a club fighter and I think he cant even beat the Ndou's of the world.

[oldgringo]

N'Dou will beat Gatti.

[brently1979]

Let's be real. The biggest feather in his cap comes from losing to Sharmba Mitchell. True, the decision could've gone the other way and the sanctioning bodies that were governing that bout wanted to secure the Kostya Tszyu fight, but N'Dou has done nothing competitively to earn the distinction of world champion. OK, check it, he's world champion. In the days of 1 world champion, does he hang in there with Aaron Pryor, Benny Leonard, Julio Cesar Chavez? No, he wouldn't. The only real guys in recent memory, Junior Witter and Miguel Cotto, he lost to. And he took a beating against Witter. Now he's a champion cuz he stopped Ben Rabbah?

This is very true, another paper Champ here with Nodu.

[brently1979]

The reason everyone wants to fight Nodu is they know they will beat him and end up with a world title. Nodu's trying to cash in with a big fight before he loses the belt. No way would he have beaten Ricky Hatton or any other top contender in his prime. Nodu couldn't beat anyone expect soup kitchen fighters while he was in his own prime. He is not a real world champion, just a lucky victim of the IBF.

[Easy-E]

another pathetic move by the IBF.
Its only a matter of time until they are considered on the level of the IBO and IBC titles.

In fact, I hereby no longer recognize the IBF as a world title!
all they have done is disgrace the sport of boxing and smuggle effective change within their sport.
Their blatent favoritism, insane rankings and bull**** mandatorys have halted boxing progress in its tracks.

Who's with me!?

I'm with you on that one there. The IBF are a joke. How the hell was Nodu even ranked that high. I thought he was washed up and gone from the rankings and next thing I hear he's fighting for a Title shot. Then he's a world champ a week later. Well this is great news for anyone who's ever wanted to be a world Champion Boxer and never hand any real ability. I think we should all try and get an IBF ranking and maybe even a shot at Nodu.

How is Gatti going to make 140?
