A Blood And Guts Warrior Died 6 Years Ago Today.

[Thread Stealer]

The first Ivan Robinson fight was just as great as the first Micky Ward fight IMO. While none of the rounds were as great as round 9, Robinson-Gatti 1 was more consistent in action throughout.

The 2nd Robinson fight was very good too. Gatti made a nice rally in the last 3 or so rounds, but it was too little too late.

With so much attention brought on to the Gatti-Ward trilogy, I hope people also saw some of the other exciting fights they were involved in. Gatti's fights with Robinson, Ruelas, Manfredy, and Rodriguez were all excellent fights. Ward had great fights with Augustus and Neary, and other exciting fights against Green and Diaz.

Still can't believe he's gone, way too young. He will never be forgotten. People were mad he got into the hall of fame, but if you watched his fights you know he deserves it.
I've watched the Gatti Ward fights many times, great action that doesn't get old.
The last time I watched it was after the fight of the century, I wanted to watch a fight so I watched Gatti Ward 1.
RIP
