Arturo Gatti vs Harold Brazier at 140

[thewonderful134]

I'm a big Brazier fan but I don't think his style gets it done here. Gatti's larger moves get the judges attention and the points for the win.

I think this is one of those times where a fighter (Brazier) can win the fight but lose the decision.

The Gatti that fought Tracy Harris Patterson was more of a boxer-puncher. With the strong leanings to boxing, while the Gatti that fought Micky Ward was more of a warrior/slugger. Braizer was a good technical fighter with good pop... an all around good fighter, but not quite elite level. I don't remember his fight with Roger Mayweather, but apparently lost a close decision... even having Mayweather hurt. What I remember about Braizer is at times he could be out hustled because he could be economical with his punches. If Gatti(big if) would fight along the lines of boxer-puncher.... then I agree with you thewonderful134 and Gatti wins by decision, but if Gatti got into a slugging match, then that plays right into Brazier's counter-puncher/defensive style and Gatti gets picked a part late.... loses by tko on cuts. Kind of like his loss to Angel Manfreddy. Either way, it would have been an interesting fight.

The decision Mayweather recieved over Brazier was a blatant out and out robbery.

I had Harold winning at least 8 rounds.

HATED that decision.
