OFFICIAL WEIGH-IN: CARLOS BALDOMIR VS. ARTURO GATTI
There's a storm brewing on the Jersey coast, and it's not the hurricane season whipping up sand on the boardwalk here in Atlantic City. Local hero and consistent crowd pleaser Arturo Gatti is in town and that means only one thing: There's a fight on the horizon. Fists are going to rain down tomorrow night, July 22, when Gatti faces off against title-holder Carlos Baldomir, and there couldn't be a better weekend: scheduled thunderstorms and rain throughout.
Both fighters were typically understated with no words from either as they made weight at 147 pounds each. The mercurial Gatti only remained on the scale for enough time to read the result, posing quickly afterward with Baldomir to cheers from the crowd. It was the calm before the storm, with black clouds descending along the coastline. There's definitely going to be thunder in Atlantic City tomorrow.
