The records didn’t indicate who filed the restraining order, but Gatti’s mother confirmed that it was Rodrigues who had taken one out against him. She offered no other details.
Gatti’s stepfather, Geraldo DiFrancesco, said the pair fought, but that he “was surprised” it went as far as Gatti’s death. “You can never expect something like that to happen.”
Chuck Zito, an actor and friend of Gatti who met the boxer 13 years ago and accompanied him to the ring for several of his most notable fights, said he knew the couple was having problems.
“Things were real rocky. They were rocky between them from the beginning,” Zito said. “He said they were probably going to get a divorce.”
Zito said Gatti met his wife at the strip club Scores in New York and that Gatti’s friends tried to talk him out of marrying her.
