The Death of Arturo Gatti
Oct 26th 2013, 11:02, by boxing.guide@about.com

Updated July 31, 2009

Former champ and fan favorite Arturo Gatti was found dead in his room at a seaside hotel in Porto de Galihnas, Brazil on July 11, 2009. Gatti, 37, had arrived at the resort the previous day with his Brazilian wife and 1-year-old son. Gatti's wife, 23-year-old Amanda Rodrigues, was initially jailed (though never formally charged with any crime) as the only suspect in the case.

Latest Development:
Gatti Death Ruled Suicide; Wife Released
Thursday July 30, 2009
The Arturo Gatti case has taken another unexpected turn with his death - originally considered a homicide - now ruled a suicide and his wife - originally jailed as the only suspect in the case - now released from prison in Brazil.

What exactly changed? It's hard to say. The lead investigator, Paulo Alberes, could only confirm that police had determined the case was a suicide but offered no new details. The judge who ordered the release of Gatti's wife, Ildete Verissimo de Lima, went as far as to write that the investigation "excludes the possibility of murder".

Really? So this case went from murder as the only possible explanation to excluding even the possibility of murder?

Gatti's wife, Amanda Rodrigues, believes the former champ may have been suicidal because he was afraid she was going to leave him. The couple engaged in a loud, public argument the night before Gatti was found dead.

It appears as if fight fans may never learn what really happened in Gatti's hotel room in Porto de Galinhas, Brazil on July 11. If Amanda Rodrigues is truly innocent, then justice was done when she walked out of prison as a free woman. If not, then the 23-year-old former stripper just got away with murder.

Previous Developments:
Gatti: Did He Commit Suicide?
Sunday July 19, 2009
According to a Brazilian newspaper, which claims to have obtained a copy of the coroner's initial findings, an autopsy indicates Arturo Gatti may have committed suicide ... or may have been accidentally killed ... or may have been murdered. So much for the autopsy helping to clear things up.

Every new piece of information on this case raises more questions, with the police investigation, autopsy report and Rodrigues all putting forth conflicting accounts of what may have actually transpired.

Gatti's Wife Proclaims Innocence
Thursday July 16, 2009
The body of Arturo Gatti is being returned from Brazil for a funeral to be held in a church in the Little Italy section of Montreal. An autopsy report will be released within the next few days.

That much seems to be fact. Everything else about the death of Gatti remains shrouded in mystery and confusion.

See what Gatti's 23-year-old wife, Amanda Rodrigues, has to say about the death of her husband. For what it's worth, Gatti met Rodrigues at the New York City strip club Scores and friends report that that the couple fought frequently.

Arturo Gatti Found Dead in Brazil Hotel
Sunday July 12, 2009
Former champ and fan favorite Arturo Gatti was found dead in his room at a seaside hotel in Porto de Galihnas, Brazil. Gatti, 37, had arrived at the resort the previous day with his Brazilian wife and 1-year-old son. Police are investigating the cause of death but 'foul play' is reportedly suspected. Gatti's wife and son were unhurt.

Mosley Defeats De La Hoya in Rematch
Oct 20th 2013, 11:03, by boxing.guide@about.com

Updated September 16, 2003

On Saturday night in Las Vegas, Shane Mosley scored a close, controversial unanimous decision over Oscar De La Hoya to take De La Hoya's WBC and WBA junior middleweight titles. All three judges scored the fight 115-113 for Mosley. In their first meeting, Mosley held a slight statistical advantage according to punch stat numbers and was awarded a narrow majority decision. This time around, De La Hoya had an overwhelming statistical advantage and the judges awarded a unanimous decison to Mosley.

There was no disputing that Mosley deserved a win in the first fight. However, the decision rendered this time around generated a good deal of controversy. In fact, De La Hoya and his promoter, Bob Arum, have threatened to launch a "full investigation" into the scoring -- whatever that means. Both have also threatened to leave the sport. Don't hold your breath on either man sticking to that threat (or promise, depending on how you view it).

Also, HBO's coverage of the bout demonstrated incredible bias towards De La Hoya, the network's biggest PPV attraction. HBO's Jim Lampley, George Foreman and Larry Merchant would have you believe that the Golden Boy was robbed. He wasn't. The decision could have gone either way. It just didn't go the way De La Hoya, Arum and HBO would have liked it to go.

Random Notes and Comments:
* De La Hoya was cut from an accidental clash of heads in the fourth round and bled for the remainder of the fight. Were the judges influenced at all by the sight of Oscar's blood?

* De La Hoya was the beneficiary of a close, controversial decision over Pernell Whitaker largely because he fought as the aggressor and initiated the majority of the exchanges. In this bout, Mosley was the aggressor (though not always the effective aggressor) and - particularly in the second half of the fight - De La Hoya showed signs of tiring and becoming more reluctant to exchange with Mosley. Lesson for De La Hoya (which he should have learned after the Trinidad fight): Judges award aggressiveness.

* Another observation about judges. In a close fight, they often look for rounds to "give" to the fighter who is slightly behind in the early going, thereby creating scorecards which tend to be somwhat closer than the action in the ring. Result: If one fighter takes charge during the second half of a bout, the fighter who was ahead early generally does not have as much of a cushion as he believes he has and runs the risk of losing a close decision. Another lesson De La Hoya should learned in the Trinidad fight.

* Punch stats are an innovative attempt to provide some quantitative data with which to analyze what takes place during a fight. However, the judges do not (and should not) have that data at their disposal when scoring a fight. Plus, since punch stats are basically compiled by two people sitting at ringside pushing buttons whenever they think a punch lands, how is that process any less subjective than a ringside judge selecting the winner of each round based on his opinion of who he thinks was the superior fighter?

* In a poll of 28 sportswriters at ringside, 16 scored it for Mosley, eight for De La Hoya and four had it as a draw.

* The Associated Press had Mosley winning 116-113.

* Decide for yourself who was the winner when HBO replays the fight this Saturday night, Sept. 20, at 9:45 PM ET.
