** NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED **
August 22nd, 1998. An explosive 10 rounder took place 20 years ago between former IBF Super Featherweight Champion Arturo "Thunder" Gatti and “Mighty” Ivan Robinson. This bout took place 4 years before the birth of the epic Arturo Gatti vs Micky Ward series of fights.
Both Gatti and Robinson were good friends and they spent a number of weeks together during Pernell Whitaker’s training camp. However, they had not sparred with each other all during that time.
Prefight records; Gatti 29(24)-1, Robinson 25(10)-2.
Entering the fight, Gatti had commendable wins over top oppositions in Calvin Grove, Pete Taliaferro, Wilson Rodriguez, Gabriel Ruelas & Tracy Harris Patterson (2x). On the other hand, Robinson had yet to earn a notable win.
From the outset, both men set a fast and furious pace but Robinson as the 4-1 betting underdog was overall the craftier fighter; alternating between boxing and fighting tactics to consistently confuse the unyielding Gatti who managed to hurt Robinson in a few occasions but as a whole he was outfoxed by Ivan’s brilliant fight plan.
Robinson’s hand speed and his use of a sharp jab allowed him to get the best in most of the exchanges as well.
In the 4th, Gatti scored a knockdown with a right hand over the top of Robinson’s ear.
Mighty Ivan shook Arturo badly in the 6th and followed up with a vicious assault which forced Gatti to hold but he retaliated with a thunderous right hand that sent Robinson stumbling about the ring before attempting to finish him with a volley of hooks.
But amazingly, Robinson returned fire and both continued to exchange till the bell sounded to end the round. Both fighters were close to scoring a stoppage win.
In the 7th to 9th frames, Gatti was evidently less effective as both his eyes were badly swollen which impeded his vision. He was wobbled with about 80 seconds left in the 9th from a volley of thunderous blows. He attempted to return the favor but Ivan evaded most of his shots with a brilliant footwork and slick upper body movements.
Robinson continued his effective work in the final round but with less than a minute to go, he was badly shook by a pulverizing left hook which Gatti followed with a vicious assault. And with about 5 seconds left, his legs turned into jelly courtesy of another devastating left hook by Arturo.
However, Ivan made it to the final bell where Gatti raised both his hands believing he was victorious.
Rounds 9 and 10 were arguably the best rounds fought by Robinson and Gatti respectively as both were once again close to scoring a knockout just as they did in the 6th.
After 30 minutes of unflinching action, Ivan Robinson was the winner by SD10 in a stunning upset.
The 3 judges score it 98-93, 96-94 & 93-96. Harold Lederman had it 95-94 for Robinson.
By CompuBox Punchstats, Robinson landed precisely half his shots thrown; 400 connected punches with an exact 50% connect ratio in the best performance of his career.
The Ring Magazine named Arturo Gatti vs Ivan Robinson I as their Fight of the Year and Upset of the Year for 1998.

Muchas gracias boxing heads. - Спорт
Gatti was in the best fights I've ever seen,all of his fights were classics
Insane. Why Gatti's two fights with Robinson doesn't get the attention Gatti vs Ward got
LOLWTFSMHOMG Exactly. I was the one who recommended this fight to Jeff and I’m so glad he did it because (as you say) it’s highly underrated and almost never talked about.
@@luke125 every time I go back and watch those fights I keep coming to that conclusion. Those fights were insanely, entertaining. Intense.
@@ConquerWealth.network You said it partner
Could argue that but if you watch them both you can see y...gatti ward was a phone booth toe to toe fight. This was more boxer vs puncher with nice exchanges and few kd.s..
@@haggissupper.1445 I wasn't implying that they were necessarily better just that they were just as good of fights but don't get the attention
One of the GREATEST fights ever
The days of fights like these are most likely in our rearview mirror , gone but not forgotten .
You’ll see me soon
@Piri Reis
It's a very rough road and when you succeed it takes a lot to preserve it . Like many things in life but in this case it punches back and often harder than you expected .
@@menaceinc.1231
Are you going to be a professional boxer ? I had that dream but it was not encouraged at all , more like you had better not because because because .... At least I stayed in shape and it's paying dividends as I get older .
Gatti was tough man!!!! Just slugging like who gives af!!!
That was his greatness and his downfall. He wanted to put on a show just as much as win. He took unneeded punishment and should've won the 1 fight. I had it a draw.
asphalt cowboy That’s not why he did it. That was all he could do.
@@asphaltcowboy7567 Gatti shined brief but bright! Hé shined for us! Theres nothing greater than that.
The most Legendary fight ever!!!
Gatti. Is. A. Warrior
We. Will. Necer
Forget. R. Ip..
This is boxing 🔥💪
And this is why it's the awesome sport that we love. All boys and men would love to be able to fight like this.
GREAT FIGHT
2 great fighter
Always thought this was better than his fights with Ward. The exchanges where cleaner and faster.
My scorecard for this fight:
RD1 - Robinson 10-9 Gatti
RD2 - Robinson 10-9 Gatti
RD3 - Robinson 10-9 Gatti
RD4 - Gatti 10-8 Robinson
RD5 - Robinson 10-9 Gatti
RD6 - Gatti 10-9 Robinson
RD7 - Robinson 10-9 Gatti
RD8 - Gatti 10-9 Robinson
RD9 - Robinson 10-9 Gatti
RD10 - Gatti 10-9 Robinson
*Total = 95-94 Robinson*
Although this is a very close fight, but I still think as a whole Robinson did the better work and won rounds more clearly. However, the last round was particularly huge for Gatti as he nearly stopped Ivan with very little time left to the final bell.
What's your score? Let me know guys!
Jeff Jackson - Absolutely. In fact I had it 96-94 for Robinson. So many people are asleep to this fight and it’s rematch which is understandable in a way because of the Gatti/Ward trilogy which overshadowed many of Gatti’s other epic wars in the ring. I’m so glad you covered these Jeff and I will definitely share this link with people. Great work
Everyone scores fights differently. I had the tenth 10-8. When the guy avoiding the action, tactically darting away and such but still gets hurt twice (once badly enough "out on his feet" finally fits). Idk. Everyone is different and Robinson did the better work throughout the fight. It's just hard to give such a close fight to a guy who was almost stopped a couple times, but that's boxing.
LeDeskripshun No everyone who understands the criteria doesn’t. People who add their own idea of how the sport should be scored end up doing what you did though.
LeDeskripshun didn’t read the comment because you posted and deleted it
I had the first fight a draw. Robinson was almost out at least 3x. The second fight Robinson won 5 to 3 2 even. Imo But Robinson again was one punch from being knocked out in the last round. The ropes held him up. Gattis problem was he didn't go to the body enough. He would crush ivans ribs but just not enough. In fact I was told after the 1 fight he had to go to the hospital for rib xrays.
YES!!! This is awesome! Was I right about these fights or what Jeff? These highlights are fucking great. THANK YOU!
Good job This is the best fight I've seen in a long time.
Gattis most action packed fight ever. Too bad he lost a razor thin split decision. He got his runbacks shortly after but wut a slugfest. In his 16 yr career he beat Wilson Rodriguez, Gabriel Ruelas, Tracy Patterson, Angel Manfredy, Ivan Robinson, Joey Gamache, and of course Micky Ward. R.I.P
When did he beat Ivan Robinson?
Look I loved Arturo OK, but how about that Ivan Robinson? Am I right? 🥊
Gatti undoubtedly has one of the greatest chins of all time
Dios mio... la mejor pelea que e visto nunca desde el primer ronda hasta el último. Gracias por subir el vídeo. Saludos desde Barcelona
Your page is back! Thank god!!! Great job man
What a fight
wow! :) they stop at the bullshit and lose the generosity and the spectacularity of the match!
Wow both men going at it...this is boxing at it's finest love it
Did it really matter if Gatti won or lost he always brought the thunder an most definitely always came to fight what a fight
I spoke to Ivan over the phone the other dad my dude is humble as fk . I'm still a GOTTI FAN
You got more than your moneys worth when gatti stepped in the ring.. A true warrior. Loved the world over.
Please make a highlight of marco antonio barrera vs erik morales 1.That would be awesome to see
Been planning on completing that trilogy for a while!
Also pacquiao vs morales 1. Most action packed pacquiao fight in my opinion
Glad you got your vids back
Wow!!! Just wow!!
Umm the number of highlights for the first 4 rounds is like watching a complete 12 round highlights but from another fight!🤔
Great stuff keep going jeff ..
Gatti never got a shot at the computer programmers and bus drivers😭 dude always had a challenge
Nice!!!Great Fight!!!!
Гатти просто лучший ❤️
The two fights with Gatti ended Robinson's career. He was never the same. He won the battle but lost the war.
I love gatti💪💪💪
To Be Honest I Saw It As A Draw But That Was A Great Slugfest
The 1 fight was a draw to me. The 2nd Robinson won Altho pretty close. But gatti almost had him knocked out at the very end of the last round. 30 more seconds and who knows. Both fights of the year.
I knew Ivan Robinson after he retired. He worked as a staff member at a New Jersey state parole work release in Camden New Jersey. He was a very decent man. Mr Robinson mentored us. He advised us. he was not working there because that was high pay a lot of opportunity to advance. He was there because he cared about the lives, futures and families of men re-entering society and trying to live a good life. I respect Mr. Robinson and I always will have love in my heart for Ivan Robinson.
Thunder GATTI
What this decision ?!
Gatti is the best.
R.i.p warrior
How anybody watched this and thought (RIP) Gatti was ever a match for Floyd is beyond me. He’s HoF, but, people just wanted to see Floyd lose at some point. I’ll say that point was after Castillo 1. All of a sudden he was a bad guy.
Ya, it’s kind of funny too. While I thought Castillo should probably have won or a draw, the fact is he had a 1handed fighter he was barely able to put meaningful punches on, and the rematch proved it out.
Awesome footwork by Robinson stepping over to Gatti’s left side to shoot that right hand uppercut
Holy dang wow
Idk why Ivan wasn’t going to the body..he was headhunting the whole fight smh
He won though.
Because he knew gattis head would be there
@@menaceinc.1231 true gatti has zero head movement….but like they said “body shot hurt him but the headshots took him
Robinson is lucky Richard Steele wasn't the ref. The fight would've been stopped when he got hurt at the end of the fight.
Hoooly shiiit 😳😱
It was just like yesterday when Pat Lynch Gotti and his trainer in the elevator all of us talking like good camaraderie people about the event that was going to happen that night.
Fuckin banger of a fight
Why is the second fight hidden?
Now this is what you call a war, this is not Mexican style it's boxing back in the day's they was fighting 15 rounds if that can sink in real quickly. It's just boxing people seem to forget the wars in the rings back in the day's
That is what l call interteiment

Round 2 and 5 were close. Round 6 was epic but I agree with what Lederman said. It seemed both fighters gassed after that (Gatti notably so in round 7). Round 8 Robinson essentially took off as Gatti just jabbed him over and over as his counter asked him to. I think round 9 won the fight for Robinson. Gatti stole the final round with the ‘near ko’ but not enough.
Real life Rocky movie
Flash RobinSon
That ninth round was a CTE round for Gatti for sure.
What rounds weren’t a Cte round for gatti in his career 😂 still a sick fighter tho amazing durability
Gatti got his azz beat!
hbo after dark good o. days boxing never be the same
rip gotti
Kvy Robinson.
gatti just didnt care too much about defence his idea of defence was just keep walking in and throwing punches
I watched this fight live folks. Gatti landed many greats shots but please watch the full fight...not just these highlights.
Robinson actually dominated both fights against Gatti. Neither decision was even close.
Agreed. Robinson did more in between the most intense highlights
old ah fight
This is Old Boxing.Not Like Now .except Pacman
More excitement in that fight than mayweathers career
no me gusta la forma de pelear de GATTI, porque no se cubre la cara y siempre pierde por eso
....????? , y no ves como le queda la cara "" a los otros""....??????!!!!!!!!
What a slug fest!!!!!!!
