Gatti and McGirt look forward to "surprsingly easy" fight

[loangunZ]

corrales didn't have to trade with castillo he could have fought from the outside and won easily but in mayweathers case during his past few fights he has gone toe to toe with people trying to gain fan support as opposedto jsut pure boxing. If he was smart he would go back to boxing but I really think he wants to play more into the fan so maybe we will see him fight more like he did against Corley which could play into gattis favor.

Alright I got Gatti for 200 million, all I'm asking for is 300 in return (that's less than 2-1 odds). First person to PM me gets the bet. I don't give a **** about these points and I wanna show my support for Arturo and I think PBF is a scumbag and sooner or later in life scumbags get what's coming to em.


Holla atcha boy!

hmm

This fight is interesting, some reasons why:

1) McGirt is a great trainer. This could be a factor. Perhaps he really does have a plan that will allow Gatti to win a fight hardly anyone thinks he will.

2) Mayweather has accepted the bad guy role, and Gatti is in the good guy role. You need a good guy and a bad guy...adds interest.

3) Mayweather has been totaly dissing Gatti and if he really beats Gatti as easily as he claims, I think it will open some eyes.

4) How long can Mayweather avoid the power? Can he take the power when he feels it? Who knows?

5) Can Gatti capture a win, finally, over a big timing, grade-A fighter? We'll see.

I dunno why people keep saying Corley is a soft puncher?

I mean look what he did with one punch to both Mayweather and Cotto!

That would suggest to me that the guy has got a bit of a dig on him!

That should tell u somethin about cotto and pbf, maybe not the best chins. corely is def not a big puncher. imagine what Gatti's gonna do. wow.

And one more thing Gatti seen everything. Mayweather hasnt seen brutal fighters w/ big punching power besides corrales and castillio but they arent as powerful and a brawler like a gabe ruealas type fighter.

And dont sleep on the fact that Gatti hasnt seen speed, he has, the man trainedand sparred w/ pernell whitiker for 4 yrs.


i'll leave u guys w/ this great quotes by Gatti on Mayweather -
Gatti commentated: "He's got a big mouth; he's talented any everything, but he wishes he has the balls and heart of Micky Ward. Everyone say he's pound-for-pound but what does pound-for-pound mean? I don't know and I don't give a ****. He was able to **** around in his last fight (the average Henry Bruseles) but no ****ing way will he dare do that **** with me. Not for a second."

People say Mayweather isn't tough, but he knocked out beat Corrales silly and Castillo twice. He retired Genaro Hernandez, and ktfo'd Angel Manfredy, a b-level fighter who beat Gatti. Mayweather has fought the tougher competition and beat them convingly.

Gatti is a glorified gatekeeper and a crowd-pleaser, but only because most of the time he's in a tough fight because of his limitations. He is physically strong, but his punching power is way overrated because he's been fighting clubfighters who were made for his style. Arturdo will be put in his rightful place after this weekend when Floyd ****s him like a two-bit whore. After this weekend, there will be a lot less nuthuggers.

I must also add that Corley is a more accurate puncher than Gatti and he is a southpaw. Yet he still landed few clean shots. I will put everything i got on Floyd, Gatti is gonna get carved up like a turkey.

All I can say to the thread title is "denial won't make the task easier."

[Stickman]

PBF isn't invincible, no fighter is. If Gatti fights a perfect fight and Mayweather makes even a single mistake, it's over. I think the upset is definitely possible, but I'm not making any calls on this one. Too unpredictable to be able to make a clean call between these two guys. If I had a gazillion bucks to blow, though, I'd probably put $20 grand on Gatti by late round KO.

I watched PBF-Corley again last night on HBO On Demand, and if PBF gets any delusoins about being able to fight like that vs. Gatti, he may be toast. But I give him the benefit of the doubt, he will know to box and selectively flurry...I am starting to believe he may stop Gatti late, but I'll stick with my prediction of PBF UD, about 9-3 in rounds.

Heh, I didn't know that "loss #7" = "surprisingly easy" in some parts.
