Watch Baldomir get whupped easily.

[MickyHatton]

Gatti has been an honest brave fighter his whole career, whatever he lacked in talent he more than made up for with heart and determination.
At the end of the day boxing is a sport but its also entertainment and Gatti has always entertained, I would sooner watch the likes of a Gatti than say a more cautious fighter like say Hopkins, Gatti's style always dictated that one day the wheels would come off and they did last night, Baldomir is a good fighter and naturally larger and it was just one fight too many for Arturo Gatti.
Time for him to retire with his head held high!

Just to put Baldy's 14 KOs in perspective. In '98 his record was 24-9-4 (4KO). Since then he has done 19-0-2 (9KO) in his last 21 fights. The combined record of his last 21 opponents is 566-120-15 (The ratio would have been better, but one dude was 40-41-2).

If Baldy was able to beat Judah a lot more convincingly than Mayweather did and TKO Gatti. That have to get you in the Pound for Pound rankings.

Gatti is a bum that politics and pigmentation helped him become a champion. I am glad he got destroyed this has ruined his undeserved legacy.

i hate people that do this ****. I remember when taylor beat hopkins and i think it was tha greatest but i am not sure, that said that if he was so good why didnt he move up to heavyweight and win. People like the thread starter are the most annoying fans that there are. Just accept the outcome and move on.

I wouldn't say he got destroyed, he just definitely isn't a WW, but Baldomir for the bigger guy took a while to take care of Gatti. I think the age of Gatti has come to an end, but Baldomir wasn't that impressive when Gatti decided to box.

what about zab judah?.....was he mediocre too?.......hey, baldy beat judah's ass a lot more convincingly that what mayweather did!!!...so give the guy a lot of credit and respect!!!



...he deserves it!

no he didnt

judah was outboxing the dude easy until he got caught
and then judah was on his wheel
the rest of the fight
baldy still aint do ****
but that one punch

judah lost that fight himself

DUMBPLICITY..jUDAH SHOULVE GOTTEN CREDIT FOR A KNOCK DOWN AGAINST MAYWEATHER..AND LOOKED REALLY GOOD "EARLY"..HE LOOKED HORRIBLE AGAINST BALDI....MAYWEATHER NEVER ROCKED JUDAH THE WAY BALDI DID......ALTHOUGH I DO BELIVE HE WOULD HAVE STOPPED HIM LATE HIM JUDAH DIDNT LOW BLOW HIM, BUT THATS BESIDES THE POINT.

First off, Judah looked great early on against Baldomir as well, and if I recall he almost had him out of there in round 2 or 3 (haven't seen the fight since it aired live). Judah is a front runner, like Floyd said, and looked good early on against both of them. By round 6 of the Floyd fight, Zab was being completely embarrassed. By round 6 of the Baldomir fight, people were thinking, "wow, it looks like this is a surprisingly close fight," not "wow this is getting real ugly real fast."

Finally, how is the fact that you think Floyd would have TKO'd Zab if he didn't get hit low besides the point? He was more masterful than baldomir by far, and against a more game opponent.

If Gatti says he can punch..
guess what....
Baldy can punch.

didn't he also say Manfredy and Robinson can punch too?

Are you saying that Baldy beat Judah by a wider margin than Floyd?

The Baldy Judah fight was a spit dec.
