Does either one make it a fight or do they both get Ice'd quick? You think Gatti could outbox Matthysse without getting his face mangled? Could Ward's solid chin withstand the bombs until he lands that left to the body.
They'd be "in" the fight for a while, Gatti moreso because he could at least sort of fight on the backfoot but I think ultimately matthysse hits too hard for Gatti and is more than skilled enough to handle Ward (a freak body shot could be scary but that's really about it) ... Both eventually get stopped I think
Si....but I think Ward will do better against Matthysee than Gatti. By round 2-3 Gatti's face will be swollen mess..
I think both fights would be equally one sided. Provo beats the shit outta Ward and Gatti, let alone Matty. Matty, Provo, Rios, and Maidana would all beat the shit outta those two overrated bums.
As long as Rios trains hard, he'd beat the shit outta either one. Gatti could possibly beat Rios only IF it were the outta shape Rios of the Alvarado rematch. The Rios of the first Alvarado fight would destroy Gatti and batter Ward.
