I was at the fight when Gatti made an amazing comeback to knockout Gabe Ruelez.

GR had killed a man in a prior fight - and was pummeling Gatti to the point of where it seemed like the only humane thing to do would have been to stop the fight.

I still have no idea how Frank Cap didn't stop the first Gatti Ward fight with 30 seconds left in round 9.

Amazing that a guy who could take all that punishment died from being strangled to death by a skinny Brazilian strippers purse strap.
