2. Arturo Gatti vs. Leonard Dorin

Leonard Dorin’s only professional loss doubles as one of the highlights of Arturo Gatti’s professional career.
The two light welterweights made the fight thrilling by coming out strong, fast, and determined-instead of the usual prancing and dodging we often witness in the first few rounds.
After five and a half minutes of making smart, classic boxing combos, Gatti comes in for a standard 1-2 hook, forcing Dorin to bring his hands up, exposing his body, just as Gatti had wanted him to.
Gatti wastes no time in resetting himself, shifting all his weight to his left leg, and letting that left hook fly. This is about as classic as it gets, folks.
