    Fair enough, but in addition to his fame, Gatti has many title fights and wins in those fights.

    I guess you can justify Gatti being in based on how many big and memorable fights he gave the sport. It's hard to begrudge him, he made his mark

    Thanks for the opinions on Gatti.

    We'll agree to disagree on that one.

    Karl, if this is in 2014 I'll see if I can make it down. I'd love to come down in person and watch

    I wouldnt have had him in personally, but from it's easy to make a devil's advocate case for him. contribution to the sport and all that

    OK, bro.

    You can be my guest at ringside and help us call one of the fights on the webcast if you make it over and you can give fightbeat a plug.

    Yeah. At the very least, Gatti put in a decade of must watch TV. I'm indifferent because HOF is such a joke.

    Too many guys would have destroyed him in every division he ever competed in.

    Hundreds, probably.

    I admired him as a legit tough guy with a good punch in the ring who would take on anyone at anytime, but that's where it starts and stops.

    How do u think you would have fared against gatti in the gym karl? Lets say around the time he fought at 140 when he was really 160 and you at your peak?

    I would have nailed him with some good hooks to the body and right hands to the head, catching him coming in.

    He'd most likely win with a body shot as he could hook to the floating rib and liver like no other fighter since Chavez.

    It would be like Frazier - Quarry 2, with Arturo being Frazier and winning in three rounds as he would similarly walk me down and break me up in a slug fest.

    Ok, I am a longtime Gatti detractor... The guy was not anywhere near a great fighter, he wasn't even very good... He was very carefully matched and still went life and death almost every single time out

    BUT... To suggest that an undistinguished amateur of like 30 fights 100 years ago would give him a tough fight is an unbelievable insult

    It is hilarious that this sanctimonious sack of shit would be so brazen

    Marlen is fighting tonight in the PAL Championships in Oxnard.

    As I indicated to the owners here: I am going to bring on board a former three time world champion in the future here.

    But the FIRST TIME an asshole types shit here like these two little jealous parasites that follow me around here before this post did, that will be the first time and THE LAST TIME that happens as the deal will then will be off the table and the champion will not return here for any further interaction with the fans.

    Here's the stream link for Marlen's fight tonight:http://oxnardpalboxing.com/palboxingwp/

    The bout sheets are on there as well, just click on the link for Friday.

    There are gonna be over twenty fights and she is the last one in ring one for the day.

    She is fighting against Ginny Fuchs (pronounced foo-shis, not the other way) after just barely getting by her in the national finals in Spokane earlier this year.

    Ginny is a tough and skilled southpaw ranked only behind Marlen in the U.S. and has stopped four of her last 6 opponents, and she beat a girl I help train in the Houston Open Ring Nationals last month but only by tough decision.

    This is going to be one hell of a fight, folks.

    It is the last bout on the card in ring one, and hope you all tune in.

    It should begin around midnight CST, but just keep monitoring the page as there are bound to be some terrific fights.

    See Ya and best of luck.

    Are we allowed to ask them what they think of your opinion that a fight between you and a prime Arturo Gatti would be like Frazier\Quarry?

    She was robbed in the finals of the World Combat Championships fighting a Russian in Russia, so she had to settle for the Silver.

    According to the USA team coach, Marlen won three of the four rounds pretty convincingly.

    That site needs to hire an editor, pronto.

    A reasonable buy rate? The buy rate is the amount of PPV broadcasts sold. Heg[Censored for fear of the hacker!]n obviously meant a reasonable price.

    You'd think an 'award-winning journalist' would know about things like run on sentences and proper use of commas.

    This hack piece is just like everything else Heg[Censored for fear of the hacker!]n does, shameless self promotion where the fighter takes a back seat to the ridiculous ego of the the short, bald, Karl Heg[Censored for fear of the hacker!]n.
