The return of Arturo Gatti (39-7, 30KOs) is finally upon us. There is a forecast of "thunder" for the state of New Jersey, and for undefeated Danish fighter Thomas Damgaard.
Damgaard has brought his unblemished 37-0, 28KO record to the table with hopes of a big upset in order to set up a big dollar payday down the road. Coming off the worst loss of his career, Gatti is looking to grab an impressive win and move towards a title shot against WBC welterweight champion Carlos Baldomir.
Most pick Gatti to beat the untested Dane, but anything can happen when Arturo Gatti comes to town. One of the most popular fighters in the last ten years wants to grab his third world title in his third weight class before hanging up the gloves for good. Damgaard is standing in the way of Gatti's goal, and that makes for a very focused Arturo.
Gatti said that he is not taking Damgaard lightly and expects a tough fight. A loss for Gatti at this stage of the game could spell the end of his career.
