I have no idea if Gotti was murdered or committed suicide but the original investigation, from what I read, seemed pretty shaky and vague. I hope they can get to the truth.kikibalt wrote:Brazil may reopen investigation Arturo Gatti's death
The boxer's 2009 death was ruled a suicide, but new evidence may suggest otherwise.
Arturo Gatti
September 8, 2011
Brazilian prosecutors said Thursday that they are looking again into the death of boxer Arturo Gatti.
Brazilian investigators had ruled Gatti's 2009 death a suicide, but a spokesman with the Pernambuco state prosecutor's office told the Associated Press the case is being analyzed again. That comes after private investigators in the U.S. presented evidence challenging whether the Italian-born, Canadian-raised boxer had killed himself.
Spokesman Jaques Cerqueira said prosecutor Paula Ismail may ask for the U.S. investigators' findings, which indicated Gatti was killed. She could bring murder charges or decide to uphold the original investigation's findings that Gatti killed himself.
Forensic experts hired by Gatti's former manager in the U.S. used crime scene photos, interviews, autopsy reports and computer-generated simulations to challenge the initial criminal investigation in Brazil on numerous fronts.
Eduardo Trindade, a lawyer assisting Gatti's family, said he wants the panel's report presented to prosecutors in Brazil and would push for an indictment of Gatti's wife, Amanda Rodrigues Gatti. She was initially arrested on suspicion of strangling him but was cleared by the first police investigation. No other suspects have been identified.
Responding to a question, Cerqueira said charges against Rodrigues Gatti were possible.
But the widow told the Canadian Press in Canada on Wednesday that she is convinced her husband took his own life.
Roger always had some good Burke Emery stories. Miss those stories!kikibalt wrote:Local bar owner is also boxing hall-of-famer

SAN DIEGO—
Burke Emery runs a local watering hole called Champ's Lounge in Clairemont, but at one time he was the toast of an entire country for his boxing ability.
"I had a hell of a right hand," Emery said.
Emery first used that right hand as a kid growing up in Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada, about 100 miles from Montreal.
"I was a young fella then and I was working at a newspaper," Emery recalled. "I would finish up my papers and stop at the YMCA on the way home everyday."
After taking up the sweet science boxing, Emery became a professional in 1954 at the age of 21. He quickly rose through the Canadian boxing ranks and eventually taking the Canadian light-heavyweight title in 1960.
Emery fought anyone, anywhere, at places like Madison Square Garden in New York, Boston Garden and London.
He won 43 fights, 15 by knockout, and lost 15 times. His record and accomplishments earned him a spot in the Canadian Boxing Hall of Fame.
Emery considered Ray Robinson the best fighter of all time and nearly met him in the ring.
"I was suppose to fight him, but I forget what happened," Emery said. "He was passed his prime and I was coming up, I wanted to fight him bad. In the end, I'm glad I didn't because he was a hero of mine."
Emery moved to San Diego in the 1960's and opened up a boxing gym downtown on 5th Avenue and Market Street. There, he trained a featherweight fighter named Art Hafey, who rose to number one in the world rankings.
Now 77 years old, Emery will spend most of his days at Champ's Lounge which he owns with his life partner Shirley Lund.
Now instead of punches, Emery throws darts - with the same precision he once threw jabs.
While he hasn't stepped in the ring in more than four decades, Emery still has boxing in his heart.
"I could take a good punch," Emery said. "I still can today."
Nice pic Frank. This place is next on my list of restaurants to try. You recommend it right? I'm always on the lookout for a another good Mexican restaurant.kikibalt wrote:

Yes Randy, I recommend La Parrilla. Just two bad things about this place, one, parking, their parking lot is very, very small, might have to street park, and that can be a bitch too. second, even though there is plenty of waitresses working, their service can be a bit slow, but having said that, its well worth it.....I recommend for lunch/dinner a parrilla for two/four with your choice of meats. They also have great Mexican style breakfasts. Their coffee with canela is GREAT!!. Oh!, the place gets packed. The wait is minimal in case you have to wait for a table though...Randyman wrote:Nice pic Frank. This place is next on my list of restaurants to try. You recommend it right?
