R.I.P. Gatti :(

Amazing boxer. Fought the best, showed some of the strongest heart boxing has ever seen, even down to his last fight. He's a legend in the sport. A true warrior.

yeah, no sh#t pork chop. seems like we have lost a ton of people in a short time, and not just from america either.

anyways, RIP to a kung fu elder of mine who passed recently.

i am trying to think if it is just more media attention being payed to the more famous, but, ther does seem a huge increase in relation to deaths of people most of us know about. strange.

I don't really know what happened but from news reports it appears his wife strangled him. I guess if a strong female got the jump on him while he was sleeping that might be possible.

Strange way for a woman to kill a man.

The report on boxingscene.com mentioned him being hit on the back of the head with some object. That could've contributed to the strangling.

He was drunk and virtually passed out. His wife strangled him with her purse strap. There were accounts of them arguing earlier in the evening and him pushing her down.
