Thunder and Lightning have co-existed since the beginning of time, this Saturday night, June 25, 2005 on HBO PPV, they will come to a parting of the ways. "Thunder comes in the name of Arturo Gatti, while Floyd Mayweather Jr. wears the tunic of "Lightning."
They will be fighting for Arturo’s WBC Super Lightweight title. Floyd (33-0 W/ 22 KO’s) is nearly a 4-1 odds on betting favorite mainly due to his speed and elusiveness. To hear "Pretty Boy" talk, the fight is a mere formality. His unkind words have been directed at Arturo, (39-6 W/ 30 KO’s) one of the most loved fighters in the history of the sport of boxing. At a recent press conference, these are just a few unkind things Floyd had to say about Arturo: "He’s a club fighter that they put on HBO," "He’s never been in with a guy like me, his last six opponents I could beat in one night, he’s going to get outboxed easy and then I am going to stop him. He don’t really believe he’s going to win, he’s scared. He’s not a good fighter." [details]
