 | | Branco, 33, of Civitavecchia, Italy, wasn't Ward, but he was better. |
 | | Effectively counterpunching whenever Gatti moved in, Branco (32-1-1) neutralized Gatti's power punches and scored repeatedly with left jabs to the head in the early rounds. |
 | | It wouldn't be a Gatti fight without Gatti fighting through an injury, and it wasn't: In the fifth, he threw a right that landed on Branco's hip, and he winced in pain. |
