                Was Gatti's a "problem" or just a bad idea for a boxer? I thought it was the latter and that he wasn't really an alkie

                  Around the time when he was fighting Joey Gamache and Eric Jakubowski he had problems apparently he was "enjoying the night life to much" and he started to get more focused and back on track when he met up with buddy mcgirt
