Mike Indri: Prediction on Carlos Baldomir vs. Arturo Gatti
By Mike Indri

All credit to Carlos Baldomir, as he has the WBC belt and actually should be considered the undisputed welterweight champion!
In beating Zab Judah, Baldomir proved so many experts wrong. Judah may be a better "fighter" than Gatti, but Baldomir will quickly realize after Saturday night's opening round bell that Arturo Gatti has more heart and fortitude than any opponent he has ever faced before.
Both these highly respected fighters, while enduring much different type careers, have many similar qualities: each has a ton of heart, neither has any quit in them and they both have good, solid chins. The main difference is that Gatti has a much more powerful punch...and that will make the difference in this fight; which will be much closer and more exciting that many people think.
Arturo Gatti defeats Carlos Baldomir via 12 round unanimous decision victory!
