Gotterdammerung
Goodbye Guerrero
GATTI
"I Can Be"
I am shocked. I can not believe yet. "We can not," said Ernesto Sabato, " that is the expression that matches and identifies human souls in front of all fatalities. And the first thing I can think of disbelief before me the news of the death of Arturo Gatti in this dark event in Brazil . On the one hand one should be resigned to always accept the finitude of human life, human life the same intensity as religiously devote all the good boxing matches.
Furthermore, the durability and longevity more prosperous and happy, is one of those good wishes that I had always reserved, and only to give it away from the bottom of my heart to things like this unbeatable warrior. Because for me, completeness and anger that command will force the interior, which in turn sends over the head and muscles, can never be defeated by knockout. And that testiculina essence, is what most abundant in the bloodstream of this immense character.

could never talk about Arturo Gatti as a distant person, to which one seeks to remember and capture through a record, a title or an anecdote. This is one of the sports figures with which, the more I became enamored of boxing, more twitching nerves and live the high points of emotional tension that can be experienced in contemplating competitive and I have no more than eternal gratitude to him.
Gatti is synonymous with absolute sports delivery. Consecration settled at maximum capacity to dump the physical rest that one prepared in a gym. That's one of the pages of glory that are not often written in the annals of boxing. Of course one should always prepare 100% when playing boxing. Everybody knows that. The problem is having the ability to decide in the ring, amidst the most brutal of the fray, one can and will be required, seek, strive and long for to get inside the pain and fatigue, and from the bottom all that preparation, 100% of what can be taken out and turn it over to "the hunger of that cauldron" where it measures the strength of the will of each. That's the most expensive excellence, the most boxing of all, which can account only a very tiny handful of champions of the ring, and Arturo Gatti who was one of the principal. DivX
learned to love Arturo Gatti, or if Roberto Duran, Bobby Chacon, or Micky Ward, watching how these fighters of our era climbed into the ring with the resolution and manners that they had taken back to their peers any other historical period. Incidentally losing all of them could, any day, but never bore the profession in terms of being up, "as it were," but in the sense of public and try to prove to them that nothing could deter or deflect the path of ascent , were then unbeatably winners.
Now, after the violent departure from the scene of Alexis Arguello few days ago, we can say that this July will be taken as one of the darkest and worst in a long time.
"Thunder" back to heaven, the place I always belonged. The Twilight of the Gods boxing is much more dark from this day.
