Why is Gatti's camp trying to avoid the Tszyu Fight?

Yes, and I am not so sure KT would ruin Gatti.

Obiviously you have not seen many of either guys fights. Gatti leads with his face and KT is by far the heaviest puncher in the division. What does this add up to to you? I can't see Gatti changing styles to pull out a pretty victory

I don't think it's that much of a runaway as many think. Gatti has learned to box in the last few years and would do a good job at moving away from KZ's right. Kostya loads up waaaaaaay too much with that hand and it should be easy for Gatti to get out of there before he gets hit with it. I'm not saying I think he'd win but it would be a closer fight than most people believe. I say KZ wins by SD.

Sharmba Mitchell couldn't get out of the way of KT's right hand! How on earth would Gatti?

Lol, are you really sure you have seen these guys box?

Since Buddy McGirt is in Gatti's corner, Gatti changed style from brawler to boxer. Sometimes Gatti brawling abilities (especially in the first fights with Buddy McGirt in the corner) will resurface, because the guy appearently likes it. Agains Dorin, Gatti boxed and boxed until that beautiful body shots.

Tszyu is a talent on his own. His power is unquestionable, and his movement is very effective, and had fast footwork (in closing the distance). But with his backward leaning evading style, he gets hit AND sometimes wobbles afterwards.

Gatti got some power too.

To my opinion it will be an exciting fight and tough fight. Tzsyu is the favored to win on my card, but he will not ruin Gatti and Gatti is not without a chance to win.

Sometimes to avoid a right hand power shot is not to backup to far. Tszyu can land his right from a long distance (Jake the snake Rodriques). Also when Mitchel decided on survival first, he gave Tszyu all the time to pick his shots. Aiming while "under fire" is more difficult.

I am not sure I would give him very much of a chance against Tszyu. I don't know if his face would be able to stand up against all of the compact heavy punches he would be receiving from Kostya. I doubt that Gatti is a coward like some of you are suggesting though.

I know I shouldn't even respond to posts by a kindergartener, but Gatti would have suffered multiple **** wounds after Tszyu rips into 'em with a blitzkrieg type assault in the 1st round if they end up fighting, which will never happen. For safety reasons according to Gatti's promoters!

Gatti's a true warrior!, they don't make guys like that any more. that man is all heart, he'd die fighting trying to win, someone other than him would have to stop the fight or he'd have to get ko'd cold or get counted out, he'll never quit. but a fight with KT, would be a blood bath, for both. that fight would be seriously one of the most ruthless fights of our era, even if it went one round. i really wish it happens cause it brings up a good question, how would either guy handle the fight? we know KT can hit hard, and Gatti can hit hard too........ i wanna see it!!
