August 22, 1998
Alantic City, New Jersey
In a epic ring war, fast hands and accurate shots were the difference as Ivan "Mighty" Robinson scored a ten-round split decision upset over former world champion Arturo "Thunder" Gatti.

Boxing fans were on their feet and screaming their approval as Robinson and Gatti traded leather for the entire distance. Despite friendship and mutual respect outside the ring, both men willingly hammered away at each other as momentum continued to swing back and forth. In the end, however, Robinson connected with the more telling blows to secure the victory. The heroic battle is a strong candidate for "Fight of the Year" honors. "I knew that Gatti is a slow starter and I know he comes on in the later rounds," Robinson said following the upset. "I know I'm not a knockout puncher, so I had to build up the points."

"I tried my best to come on but I came on too late in the fight," the battered Gatti said after the loss.

Great fight!!!
