Gatti -De la Hoya!

[1837]

I know guys in Vegas don't give any chance to Gatti to win that one but i'll give him a shot at 19/1 for an upset! Small play here but might be $$$$

I don't know how's De la Hoya form, don,t know if he still thinks about his actor career and what is his state of mind (maybe Fletch you can gime me an hint?) but i can tell you that Gatti is extremely confident about the fight, he is pumped and said that if he doesn't have any cut on his face by the fifth round, he is going to win that fight.

I'll take my chance with the italian boy!

At 19 to 1 a small play could be in order-- but I wish this was the Gatti of a few years ago. He was a hellava fighter, hell, he still is, but he is just not quite good enough to beat the top fighters at his weight class. If he was a little smaller or 20 lbs heavier, he would be a world champ. Should be a fun fight to watch, even if March Madness is also on at the same time-- thats what they got VCRs for, right?

Redsfann,

The latest report i got from Gatti was a comment from coach Pat Lynch who said he has never seen Gatti in such good shape. (His moves are faster than ever and he is highly motivated!). An upset? Why not!

I like my chance!

Hell, Reds, you never told me u waz a boxing whizz too

What's the goss on the Tua v Nicholson fight - if it's even been mentioned after Tua's embarassing non-effort v Lewis? I believe the TAB are running a book down here.
ON THE OTHER RUMBLE, TWO DIMES ON GARY GAETTI - WADDYA MEAN I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M TALKIN ABOUD ??

------------------
I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by March Madness ...

An update about the fight, the 10 round fight between Gatti and Hoya has now been changed, after agreement on both sides to a 12 round fight. That is good news for Gatti who hopes to have a long fight. He is in better shape than Hoya right now (look at the weigh tomorrow) so if Oscar doesn't knock him down earlier in the fight, i like Gatti to upset him at the end!

 

[1837]

Let's take a chance with over 5,5 round -120 at GCS !!!

Anders--

Sorry about the lack of info your way about the sweet science-- just never gave it a thought before. Yes, Gary Gaetti in a HUGE upset tonight......

A 12 rounder now, huh?? I think I'll grab some of that over 5.5 rounds at that low price, 1837.
Best part of that is 2 things-- the basketball will be over before the fight starts, AND the wifey is going out clubbing with the girls tonight! YES, and it counts!!

 

[1837]

We will have an exciting fight for sure!

I'll be watching it with friends and if Gatti could surprise $$$

We should have the over 5,5 round so we souldn't lose any money at all even if Gatti doesn't make it but if we have the upset.... $$$

thanks Rockbottom for the update! I haven't saw that line until you post. I went on it for 2 units!

Arturo Gatti should last at least 6 rounds so go for it!!!

Sometimes you have to hit "rockbottom" to become a better gambler.

 

[djv]

About 1 hour to fight time. I agree over 4.5.

 

[1837]

Lines right now are Gatti 10 to or 12 to 1. Quite different from the 19-1 we got hum?

I cross my finger and.....

 

[1837]

By the way djv or anyone who can answer this, does this fight is on a pay per view channel in USA? Here, we have to pay 50$ to see it!

 

[Rockbottom]

I BELIEVE ITS ON HBO

HBO here and that is some what free. By that I mean you need cable to get it. My cable package per month is 54 bucks. But that gives me 110 stations. Of those 8 are what they call preium, such as HBO, Showtime, Cinemax. HBO and Showtime have many fights on each year.

 

[Rockbottom]

HBO COVERAGE STARTS AT 1045 PM EASTERN TIME

 

[1837]

You're lucky DJV! 54$ for what you get is pretty good! Here, because of some stupid federal law, we are unable to get ESPN,TNT,HBO... If we have them, we have to make some "illegal stuff" over the satellite.... Stuck with TSN,RDS and Sportsnet...

 

[djv]

Rock that over 4.5 just seems strong. Maybe we all will say shit. But lets go get 5 for the good guys.
1837 that sucks. Do that what ever stuff get what you want.

THE ONLY THING THAT GETS ME IS DONT U ALL THINK DE LA HOYA WILL WANT TO PROVE HIMSELF AS BEEN A TOP CONTENDER AGAIN AND TRY TO TAKE OUT THIS GUY QUICK AND DEMONSTARTE HIS POWER AND STRENGTH. I MEAN IT DOES LOOK GO BUT ALOT CAN HAPPEN IN 4.5 ROUNDS= 14 MINUTES OF ASS WHIPPING. ANYBODY KNOW THE RULES FOR THIS FIGHT ( 3 KNOCKDOWN RULE IN EFFECT OR ANYTHING LIKE THAT )
