    Yes the death of Thunder seemed very very shady when it happened and how a beautiful stripper/prost could charm her way out of a murder charge rather easily. Also I am friendly with Gatti's ex manager who was very very close to Thunder and also Arturo Jr, the ex wife and grandma. He said some shocking stories about Thunder's drug use in his later years and spending $30,000 in strip clubs and all his gfs were strippers. He also did try to suicide himself more than once when still active as a fighter and threatened to do it other times too. Sadly, Thunder is a symbol of the very very dark side of boxing.
    Terrible, man. I was unaware of Gatti’s suicidal tendencies. Could’ve been brought on by CTE, which has claimed the life of many professional athletes in contact sports — most famously NFL players. Arturo was, of course, renown for his toughness and ring wars. The damage his brain sustained must’ve been substancial.

        He was a mental mess at the end, physically unfit to fight but as they say, the show must go on. A lot of people were making money off him so they would not let him cancel any fights which all were making big money. One of the last fights was with Alfonso Gomez and he could barely see, he was getting hit with everything. He could not pass the physical but they made him fight anyway. Look at that fight again, how bad he looked, he couldn't see the punches and got hit by everything. Tragic His promoters managers and network all exploited him for every last dollar till he couldn't do it anymore De****able. And you know who the names are.

            Is there a source? Was it after a fight or what?

              I read a report that he also hung himself. Sad news, my condolences to his family.

                  They lived in Cancun. I didn't go to regular school, some kind of internet schooling. Locked himself in his room. Mother found body on Monday. If any of you followed amanda on IG a few years ago, her posts were bizarre to say the least. Totally overexposing her son, doing everything with him. Obvious psycho.
