[DuckAdonis]

Lol Gatti took the biggest whooping of his career... savage

What a ****ty ref.

I forgot the ref wasn't Cortez or Bayless.

He says "stop punching," then let's Floyd land two punches. Gatti looks at the ref, the ref rushes in but stops as Floyd throws the third shot.

It's the referee's job to take control. Either stop the fighters, or just let the action continue. He tried to react, but was too slow and then just said "**** it, Floyd is gonna win anyways." lmao

[DumpkinsPlus5]

That's the refs fault for not physically breaking the fighters. When exactly were they supposed to continue punching?

[eco1]

what I don't understand is why Gatti didn't go Maidana on Floyd. What, all of a sudden he felt the need to "box" when he never did it before?

Edit: I just want to brag and say my guitar is better than yours!

That's not why Gatti lost. Gatti wasn't even hurt by those shots.

[WesternChamp]

not surprise.. ref is a brotha.

That's not my point. It can be demoralyzing though. Knowing that out ot nowhere you're two rounds down. And that can make you change your strategy.

Just wanted to show how protected Floyd was by refs.
