Re: New Book - Arturo Gatti and Joe Gatti

i started reading this book- right away it rises a question for me; where was Arturo Gatti born ? I've always read Italy but this book says Canada. Most sources seem to have Gatti born in Italy and bought up in Montreal, Canada. The author, who has done a tremendous amount of research, utilizing bo...

Kerri Hill bouts

The bouts between Kerri Hill and Emily and Katy Klinefelter were 3 minute round bouts, not 2-minute. Iowa does 3-minute rounds for both men and women. No gender discrimination here. You can update all of Emily and Katy Klinefelter's Iowa bouts to reflect that they were regular 3-minute rounds. Thanks.

Re: John L. Sullivan lecture

Well, Corbett gets the general gist of it right, but keep in mind, he's writing in 1926 about a fight that took place in 1892. As to what would happen if they met in 1886, who knows. Certainly Sullivan would have had a MUCH better chance to win. In my book, In the Ring With James J. Corbett , I offe...
