Thanks for the heads up. I'll check it out tonight.
The only Gatti fights i have watched are Gatti/Ward I-III, Gatti/Floyd and Gatti/Oscar.

The first one was great. Obviously not the slugfest Gatti Ward turned out to be, but a really great fight. Won FOTY too!

All of Gattis fights are great fights

Gatti was at his worst in terms of preparing for fights and partying. 135 was definitely Gatti's worst weight. It was amazing that he could take those punches, but the fights with Robinson are fights he should have won.

Not all of em...Mayweather, DLH, and most of his later fights were kinda sad. Gatti went through a lot of rough patches in his career where he just wasn't there for the fight.

I've heard stories that his trainers would lose him the night before a fight and find him asleep on the boardwalk the next day. Of couse I cant prove the validity of these stories, but watching him in some of his fights I won't argue them.

That aside, Gatti was my all time favorite fighter to watch. He usually gave everything in the ring. If making boxing fun was a prerequisite for ATG status, he would be a shoe-in.

Check out the rematch as well mate. Another great fight.
Nothing compares to the Gatti Ward trilogy but still incredible fights.

both the Gatti-Robinson fights were better than all three of the Gatti-Ward fights.

Gatti-Ward trilogy is overrated.

Gatti was also my all time favorite fighter to watch.
In my opinion one of the most exciting fighters the sport has ever had if not the most exciting.

The Gatti Ward trilogy is absolutely not overrated. It's a Hollywood slugfest come to life.

I can understand why you would prefer Gatti Robinson, though. Much more technical, much more appealing to a boxing fan who appreciates skill over drama.
