Good fight! I felt sad for Gatti.......he got quite the a$$ wooping. They were saying he should retire. I don't think so. What do you think?

Baladimor had the prefect game plan for the fight. Gatti must move back to 140 lbs to keep fighting. He can not continue to fight and take beatings at 147 lbs.

I felt bad for Gatti. But unlike the others who answered this question, I think he could have won that fight. He didn't box, he didn't move on his toes, he didn't pop the jab consistently, and he was pulled into Baladomir's brawling fight. I think that if Gatti just tried to stack up the points from the outside and avoid getting pulled into the brawl, he could have won. This is hard for him to do though because he's a warrior. I love the guy though. He's a legend for a reason.

I LOVE Arturo Gatti! I think Baldomir is going to offer some good competition in the division though. I always hate seeing Gatti lose, but perhaps he should jump on the bandwagon with Vargas and retire. He is loved by many fans and he will always be a champion.

Gatti can not compete against top fighters anymore, at least at 147. He has a great spirit and is very tough, so someone will have to convince him to give it up because he never will on his own. He is one of the most entertaining fighters of the recent period.

Let's face it, retire or not, he's taken ALOT of damage. He needs to get out now, or soon. He has given us many great moments, now he needs to live his life and enjoy his hard earned money.

Baldomir was just too big and had a great chin, Arturo you have to give it to him he has a great heart, but I always said he is just overatted....and I said it before..."Never bet on the White Guy"
