    Ex-Boxing Champ Gatti Found Dead

    washingtonpost.com

    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 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, early yesterday.

    Police investigator Edilson Alves said 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.

    "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. His brawling style and natural charisma made him a fan favorite. . . .
    Sad day for any boxing fan, Gatti was amazing in the ring. RIP

    Gatti vs Ward was legendary. A great loss for the sport

    Ironic that the police investigator's last name is Alves. (Yeah I know boxing =/= UFC.. anyway).

    Yeah this really sucks =( '09's been a terrible year.
