How's this for a champion's legacy?

Police investigating the death of former boxing champion Arturo Gatti are working on the assumption his wife strangled him with her purse strap while he drunkenly slept. The woman's lawyer, however, insists she is innocent and was too "fragile" to kill a boxer.

Gatti was one tough SOB.
I saw one of his fights one time and he had a cut over his eye and he's bleeding like a stuck pig and his trainer was like "The cuts all the way to the bone!" And Gatti was like "Good that means it can't go any (expletive deleted) deeper!
A warrior that one.

Killed by his tiny wife and her purse... What's next? Mike Tyson shot and killed with his kid's cap gun?

Doug said...

I'm guessing he was totally blotto at the time.

Pat said...

Yea, a pretty sad way to go. Being a women though, I ask myself what did he do to her?

Sean said...

Yeah, that's what it looks like. Gotta be careful when those strippers start buying you drinks! :-)

Sean said...

I'm sure all the sordid details will be heaped upon us ad nauseam for the next six weeks or so.

Curious, though, do you also ask the same question when the roles are reversed? "I wonder what that woman did to him that caused him to strangler her"

Pat said...

Good question sean...we'll see, But I'm pretty sure If he murdered her, it wouldn't have been because she punched him.

Pat said...

Sean said...

Pat said...

Oh geez, to be honest, I don't give a bugs ass. Don't waste your time on me boys....run along now.

From a thread about the murder of a prize fighter to commentary on liberal elitism in under ten posts.
This blog never disappoints.

And as an extension of this are apparently on the rare occasion prone to bashing your head in and strangling you to death with their purse strap.

Pat, I thought you would have spelt it "donkey", he he.

Okay, Sean, If the roles were reversed and he strangled her with his purse, na, I ain't going there? No way!!

Does kinda sound like the Farrah Fawcett movie "Burning Bed". New one for this generation, "Tight Donkey Purse Strap".

Let's see there was the "sewing up in the bed sheet and beating the guy to death" by a woman. Than recently the mistress who felt she was cheated on and shot her man while he had a good long sleep. The Bobbit affair, which never seems to go away and now liberal elitism on the blog. You guys are just a bunch of victims.lol

DRL said...

Juliet, you make me cry. Us guys hat the Bobbit story. I will be walking cross legged for a while now. All Jill has to say is she is headed to the kitchen and I am like putty in her hands. Oh yea.

Pat said...

No Drl. I like variety, so I switched from just plain ass to bugs ass. You gotta admit it fit. I mean does a bug even have an ass??

DRL said...

Pat, I never checked? someone with a microscope want to let us know.
