Karjala Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 fuckin hell, shocked by this. Former boxing champ Gatti found dead in Brazil STAN LEHMAN The Associated Press SAO PAULO - Police in Brazil say former boxing champion Arturo Gatti has been found dead in a hotel room in the northeastern state of Pernambuco. Police investigator Edislon Alves told The Associated Press that the body of the former junior welterweight champ was discovered Saturday morning in the posh seaside resort of Porto de Galinhas, where he arrived on Friday with his wife and 1-year-old son. Alves said police were investigating. It was unclear how the 37-year-old Canadian died. A spokeswoman for the public safety department said Gatti's wife and son were unhurt. "There were no bullet or stab wounds on his body, but police did find blood stains on the floor," the spokeswoman said. Gatti retired in 2007 with a record of 40-9 and 31 knockouts.

Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Apparantly evidence of a head wound, maybe got lamped by some form of weapon. He can't have seen it coming. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 Probably a robbery, possibly not. Shocking news like, he wasn't skilled but had some of the biggest balls ever. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Shocking, when I 1st heard he died I thought it maybe drug related, after retiring I thought he may have found it tough. I wonder what did happen. Glad his family are unhurt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently nothing had been stolen, plus it was at some fancy resort which would make it difficult for robbers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Alan Shearer 9 Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 There's no way he would have been killed by some robbers without guns/knives/a lot of them. It's easy to forget how rediculously hard professional boxers are compared to normal people. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way gutted that he is dead, the guy was one tough fighter, so much heart. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kimbo Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 It sounds like he was drunk, then got twatted round the back of the head with something, then got strangled. Anyway, here he is on pros vs joes beating up some wannabe. Very entertaining. http://www.spike.com/episode/25846/st/2936579 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 I definitely thought this guy's life would end badly. He took way too much punishment in the ring. YOu watch some of his fights and you credit his bravery and chin, but you also marvel at the number of shots he takes flush in the face. I'm surprised at the manner in which this has happened, but I'm not surprised that it has happened. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
