MP3 Tribute to Arturo Gatti – RIP
Where to start with the shocking loss of Arturo “Thunder” Gatti. Yes this is a music blog but as an editor – being a big sports fan, sometimes we just don’t need to be too engulfed in music. Gatti is one of my favorite boxers (which you’ll hear a lot of from people) because of his heart and his wildly entertaining trilogy with “Irish” Micky Ward. He wasn’t great and people respected that. Boxing fans didn’t care about being great but putting in 110% effort at all times was that drew the masses. While on paper he doesn’t look great, he definitely will be missed. He represented both Italy, Canada as well as the New Jersey area well and will not be forgotten. Rest in peace.
Here’s a highlight vid (unfortunately to eye of the tiger):
