Gatti vs Mayweather....

[H2O Man]

Tonight is the much anticipated fight between Arturo Gatti and Floyd Mayweather. Gatti is defending his Jr. Welterweight (aka "super lightweight")title in Atlantic City against the undefeated two-time world champion, Mayweather. Although the "title" they are fighting for isn't the real championship, it is expected that the winner will meet the real champion, Ricky Hatton.

I think it could be a tougher fight for Floyd than he anticipates. He throws his left hook in an odd way sometimes: his stance is a little too square to his opponent, and he brings it up while his chin is lifted a couple inches too high. (Watch pre-fight films; Gatti has!) I hope he is careful, and I expect him to take a decision.

Any other predictions?

1. I predict you'll be back here to give us a round-by-round recap

And I eagerly await it!

Damn, I wish they didn't charge so much for these pay-per-view fights.

Enjoy!

(And let us know how the fight goes. Your recap will probably be better than anything I can find on MSM.)

3. Mayweather by TKO-6

He was too fast, too strong, and just too good for Gatti.

Now, let's see Mayweather vs Hatton!

4. I think Gatti

landed less that 40 punches in the entire fight. It was the difference between a good fighter and a great boxer. After a couple rounds, the crowd became very quiet. They were there to cheer Gatti on, and Mayweather was winning so easily that I think Gatti fans were simply praying he would not get hurt too badly.

Both Hatton and Mayweather are peaking. Hatton may need a tune-up fight after his intense struggle to capture the crown. Mayweather came through without any damage at all.
