| | Appreciating Arturo Gatti |
 | | On October 4, 1997, fresh off a rematch victory over Patterson that saw Gatti show his underrated boxing skills, "Thunder" got another fight perceived as a gimme against Gabriel Ruelas. |
 | | Ruelas, faced with an opponent that didn’t mind getting hit twice to land once, obliged Gatti, hitting him early and often. |
 | | Fortunately for all fight fans, while Ruelas’ armor was cracking, his resolve wasn’t, and he kept firing back until once again, a left hook that began somewhere in Jersey City found its destination on Ruelas’ chin, and the fight was over. |
