I like Gatti here. I tried to make a case for Dorin but I could not. He had trouble knocking out fighters at a lighter weight and that causes me great concern as he moves up. Spadafora is a slick boxer that brings no power to the table so Dorin had little trouble at all dealing with Spady's business. It should be quite different with Gatti who is the master at coming down in weight only to get in the ring the next day with 15 more pounds. Thi should bother Dorin tremendously. Dorin is old at 34. He however has been lightly used like Tarver so his 34 may be a lot younger as is the case for someone like Tarver or a heavy like Lawrence Cley-Bey. anyway I digress.

I discredit Dorin's pedigree as well as I discount fights outside of the US. There is not much talent outside of the US so despite above .500 records of his early bouts you can bet those same fighters would get smoked in a the club-circuit of a major US city such as LA.

If I'm going to bet the fight - which I will anyway just for the hell of it - I don't like to bet on Gatti becaus he is a public fighter, you'll never get value with him the same way you won't with a Tyson or a DLH. That's why I'll jut take the KO or stoppage on the under just to get some value and the liklihood that the tough tough Dorin is in over his head with a big-time puncher in Gatti.

Id go with the under 11.5 rounds

looks like the under was a steal.
I was debating on it but never got around to betting on it.
damn!

Yeah i took the under at +$155. Turned out to be a winner but i am amazed that it only lasted >5 mins
