Former boxing champ Gatti found dead in Brazil

By STAN LEHMAN, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 8 minutes ago

SAO PAULO (AP)?Former boxing champion Arturo Gatti, one of the most exciting fighters of his generation, was found dead in a hotel room in the posh seaside resort of Porto de Galihnas early Saturday.
Police investigator Edilson Alves told The Associated Press that the body of the former junior welterweight champ was discovered in his hotel room at the tourist resort, where Gatti had arrived on Friday with his Brazilian wife Amanda and 1-year-old son.
Alves said police were investigating and it was unclear how the 37-year-old Canadian died.
?It is still too early to say anything concrete, although it is all very strange,? Alves said.
A spokeswoman for the state public safety department said Gatti?s wife and son were unhurt. The women declined to give a name in keeping with department policy.
?There were no bullet or stab wounds on his body, but police did find blood stains on the floor,? she said.

Gatti first captured the junior welterweight title in 1995, when he defeated Tracy Harris Patterson in Atlantic City, N.J. His brawling style and natural charisma made him a fan favorite, and he became one of New Jersey?s adopted sons while fighting some of his most memorable battles on the Boardwalk.
?His entire boxing career he fought with us, we?ve known him since he was 17,? Kathy Duva of promoter Main Events told The Associated Press. ?It?s just an unspeakable tragedy. I can?t even find words. It?s a horror.?

crazy chicks these days......

I'm a little suspect on this though. I'd be surprised if a woman could strangle a former boxing champion to death with a purse strap....

I guess a similar thought ran through my mind when they found the actor from "Kill Bill" dead, hanging in his room. Probably didn't really commit suicide, just a set-up in a crazy country....

Two quotes sum up our dilema as men;

Shakespear: "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned."

Robin Williams: "God gave men a penis and a brain but only enough blood to use one at a time."


We're pretty much set up to fail.
