Gatti, Leija Prepare for Battle

Friday January 28, 2005
Arturo Gatti defends his WBC super lightweight title for the second time on Saturday night when he faces durable veteran Jesse James Leija in Atlantic City. Both fighters are known for giving the fans their money's worth so this could be a memorable scrap. Both men are also prone to getting cut so don't be shocked if this one doesn't go the distance. A Gatti win would (most likely) set up a big money bout against Floyd Mayweather Jr. in June.
