I always liked watching this dude fight. He fought his ass off and when he lost he was gracious in defeat.

An entertaining boxer who loved to fight in a phone booth.

Amazing trilogy with Ward, and entertaining in his last fight, if only for having Gomez pound his face in.

 

RIP.

His wife has been detained, and appears to be a suspect.

 

Crazy chicks suck.

They're definitely the poorest crimimal planners ever. Whatever happened to cutting the brake lines? Contract killer while establishing an alibi?

She apparently strangled him with a purse strap.

RIP.

 

I had the privilege to watch all 3 of these fights. Amazing doen't even give these fights the respect they deserve. If there was ever a fight where I already know the outcome that I'd be willing to watch again, it's any one of the 3 fights between Arturo "Thunder' Gatti and "Irish" Mickey Ward.

 

I believe Gatti has the record for the most fights broadcast on HBO, and for good reason. You always knew you were going to get a good fight with Arturo.

 

He deserved a much better retirement.

Same age difference as McNair/crazy chick

De La Hoya has the most appearances, but Gatti's up there.

 

Anybody else remember his fight with Joey Gamache? He damn near killed him. It was that fight that provided the impetus for same day weigh-ins.

Hard to say for sure from this photo, but it doesn't appear to be a hooknose situation.

good move marrying a stripper.

Rodrigues could not explain how she had spent nearly 10 hours in the room without noticing that Gatti was dead, authorities said.

killing someone in brazil is the dumbest thing to do. where are you going to flee to, the united states?

but in Brazil there is always the chance you might be able to bribe your way out of a sticky criminal situation.

Police calling it a suicide?

Suicide with his wife's purse strap? I guess he didn't have the heart to let it take him slowly. Absolutely bizarre.

Yeah. Oh to hell with it, she's killing me anyway just get it over with.

 

That is definitely a bizarre ending to Mr. Gatti's life.
