Thirty Perfect Rounds Post Script

I wrote a blog post some time ago called Thirty Perfect Rounds about three perfect fights between "Irish" Mickey Ward and Arturo "Thunder" Gatti.

Find it if you want to know the context of what I'm going to tell you next.

Arturo "Thunder" Gatti was found dead yesterday in Brazil. HE was an amazing fighter, a rock hard chin, a thunderous punch, gritty and mean! He was everything you wanted in a boxer. From reports I've read he was also a great guy outside of the ring.

Boxing is on its way to becoming obsolete while MMA takes its place. It is a shame in a lot of ways as there aren't many fighters like Gatti in any sport.

Rest In Peace Thunder.
