@Username01793 Why is there always one dick in the comments, seriously man how empty is your life that feel the need to bitch over one  word in my comment

[Username01793]

@daleclosson19 Boxing isn't a "Fight" it's a sweet science. No choking, elbowing, kicking etc just two skilled warriors with great respect for one another. It's beautiful to watch. Gatti's footwork and combinations in this round is just unreal..amazing "Boxing"

I always couldn't stand that "REF" ,,,capppiccinno or what ever his name was,,he was just not a good boxing ref in my opinion.

I wish boxing was what it used to be:(

@Craigmw45 Yeah its a great trilogy but i think Gatti could of taken less punishment if he fought with that head movement against the like of Robinson,Ruelas and Rodriquez and i thought Gatti won this fight too.

[Craigmw45]

@thewelshviper He eventually did. In fight 2 he does it more so, and then in fight 3 even more then that.

I firmly believe that Gatti was a better boxer then Ward, and would likely win this fight 8/10 times if it happened again. What makes this so good is that both fighters said "screw it" and just planted their feet and hit each other as hard as they could. Pure war, and for lack of a better term heart!

1:17 Why didnt Gatti use that type of head movement more often?

@Dempsey2626 -And we have the most idiotic statement of the day. Chavez only fought chumps? Oh, and then telling me to "get the fuck outta here", as if you own the Youtube website, That's the best your insignificant intellect can come up with as a retort? Look dick, I'm not a fan of Chavez Jr., but I do give credit where credit is due, and it's that Chavez Jr. is one of the most devastating body punchers in the game, which Mayweather has struggled against in the past (Castillo).
