I really love Gatti, and I have watched most of his fights, have a collection on DVD. I dont think he will have an easy time tonight, unless he lands a homerun shot like he did against Dorin, or he cuts him up good, which is possible. Remember Branco a year ago. Gatti had some trouble with him. He was a good boxer, didnt let Gatti plant and trade, which is what he loves to do. He should have a chance to do more of that tonight, but Lejia is a veteran who knows how to survive and win rounds. I am pulling for Gatti big time tonight, but that number is way to big for me. I respect anyone who is on him tonight, but to anyone who isnt sure, be careful. You will pay 6-1 to bet on a Gatti, or anyother big name fighter when they fight a lesser guy. Its name value. Just remember Tyson was 10-1 fav over Williams(loss), Jones 7-1 over Johnson(loss), Klitchko11-1 over Brewster(loss) and Brewster 11-1 over Meehan (barely won). Lejia is a tough competitor, and if it gets into round 5, he will start to land, and Gatti will try to brawl. As a die hard Gatti fan, ive seen it too many times. Lejia wont hurt him with one shot, but he can wear Arturo down with body work. I am getting a little nervous about this one, and I dont have any money on it. Ill be rooting him in, good luck to the guys who have money on him.

Excellent call boxie. Only problem is Jesse posed no real threat to Gatti. A real mismatch; swinging wildly and just ineffective overall. Wait till Gatti meets Floyd! They will need a trauma surgeon ringside to suture Gatti's lacerations. He will tattoo Gatti the way Ali use to do to Joe Frazier. Odds will be off the charts.
