Big Props to Arne Lang who called the fight perfect. I went with his advice and the advice of the other industry pros in the sport I converse with daily.
Gatti caught 10 to 1 power shots than he dissed out. He was twice as slow and ate over 5 to 1 on all other punches. The reason: He was and has always been a club fighter with a good chin and no real skills. Mickey Ward, a bigger bum who sucks, gave him three classic bouts. The battle of club fighting white guys. Buddy McGirt the trainer for Gatti spent years teaching this drunk one thing, MOVE in the ring. Instead, Gatti just went back to his old form and took 5 punches for every one he gives. So Stop being fooled by the great white hype. It was never Gatti.
As far as Floyd is concerned, he is the second best pound for pound fighter in the world after Hopkins. THis was an easy one for Pretty Boy, but he is always up for the challenge, so look for him to do damage in this weight class.
One more thing, Hopkins is a complete fighter, fighting a newbie Taylor. THis should be a complete destruction, not even close. Bet Hopkins before the pirce raises over 2 to 1.
Great job Lang!
