RIO DE JANEIRO – 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. news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090713/ap_on_sp_bo_ne/box_gatti_death

My feeling is that she did it.

Well, she does appear to be guilty, time will tell us the whole truth hopefully.
Gatti will be missed. He was a true warrior within a ring.

If he had to die now it would have been better if it had happened in a comeback fight. IMO A man like him being snuffed by some little thing like that is just plain incongruous. Apparently his machismo and attitude contributed to this.

It is very sad. I would have never thought we would have lost two great fighters almost at the same time.

It is very sad. I would have never thought we would have lost two great fighters almost at the same time. And so tragically. Arguello's death is suspicious too. There's folk knowledge that says these things happen in '3's'.

photograph of his wife. Not your ordinary conception of a cold blooded / hot blooded murderer. news.spreadit.org/amanda-rodrigues-gatti-photo-arturo-gatti-wife/She looks like a girl, as opposed to a woman. Certainly not one who would be ready to handle the jealousy of Gatti, who reports indicate was an abusive drunk. You recall how Jake Lamotta related to his women.

Yeah, she doesn't look like she could murder anyone Last I read, she was claiming it was suicide

I read that Gatti was also hit on the head. Anyone know?
