Arturo Gatti - RIP true warrior..... =-(

Dang, former star pro athletes have been getting killed a lot recently. Alexis Arguello, Steve McNair and now Arturo Gatti.

I figured Gatti would die short of the typical male life expectancy b/c of the incredible heaps of punishment he absorbed in the ring, but 37 is way too short of a life.

RIP.........

Foxnews today says his wife was detained. Looks as if she whacked him in the head and strangled him with her purse.

Damn, if that's true than that's one crazy bitch. They had a 1 year old kid with them

It's a shame about Arguello, he was my favorite back in the day, a brilliant fighter, his matches with Aaron Pryor are legend

How the hell does a girl manage to kill a professional fighter by strangling him? so weird...

Folks who'd been around the couple earlier in the evening were saying that they were seen arguing/fighting, and Gatti was pretty drunk. He probably passed out, or was too loaded to adequately defend himself. I think he was found with a head injury as well, so she probably whacked him over the head to incapacitate him before strangling him.......
