Carlos Baldomir versus Arturo Gatti wouldn’t appear to be a great match on paper, but neither did Gatti-Ward. And that turned out to be World War III each of the three times that they stepped into the ring.
Scott Woodward, vice president of Sycuan Promotions, Baldomir’s promoter, believes Baldomir will bring the fight to Gatti.
“I see this as Micky Ward-Arturo Gatti IV,’’ Woodward said. “Our guy is going to stay in the middle of the ring. Is he (Gatti) faster than he was 10 years ago? Is he faster than Zab Judah? Is he faster than Mickey Rodriguez?’’
All of those questions will be answered at some point during the 12-rounds of the match between Baldomir and Gatti on Saturday night at Boardwalk Hall. Or as they’re about the rename the place – The House that Gatti Built. This will be Gatti’s eighth straight match there. He is 6-1. His only loss was a lopsided butt-whipping from Floyd Mayweather, Jr. last June 25. [details]
