Arturo Gatti Vs. Jesse james leija

[jswa17]

damn...i didn't know Gatti is 38...
well...i think it'll be a very difficult fight for Gatti as long as Leija doesn't brawl and box...but somehow, everybody who fights Gatti goes toe-to-toe with him and evetually gets knocked down...that tells something about Gatti's power, heart, and agility.

Numbers are in favor of Gatti, but Leija does possess an impressive record. he has victories over francico bojado, mickyward, ivan robinson, and azumah nelson his losses have come at the hands of first class boxers such as mosley and dela hoya. Gatti on the other hand has been magnificent these past few year, his wars with Micky ward and ivan robinson will stay in boxing history forever. He comes to the ring with a 3 inch height and reach, and a 6 year age advantage. The two fighters are very well matched. The fight has all the makings for fight of the year although the spotlight is totally on pacqiao and moralles, this fight should not be ignored.

I am going off topic(moralles v.pacqiao) with this one but does anyone care to comment.

Gatti is the ultimate warrior and win or lose he always comes ready and willing to fight. I think Jesse James bit off more than he can chew (see joey gamache) and is going to be KO'd.

Gatti is a great second-tier fighter. So is Leija. In the history of great fights, this should be a great one. But these fighters are not elite fighters, so the only meaningful thing about this fight is that Gatti holds a belt that he really doesn't deserve to hold. I'd pick Gatti, though, but he needs to fight a real contender

At 38, Jessie's body won't be able to take that much punishment. So it's got to be Gatti by KO or Decission.

Gatti is 32.

I gotta pick Gatti to win but Leija is game as hell and I wouldnt be surprized at all if he won. And, the winner of this fight earns the right to be KO'd by Floyed Mayweather.
