    Am I wrong that he was good? I'm actually just taking a shot in the dark, his record doesn't look terrible and I know his name from somewhere so... I figured he might be a decent fighter.
    He was a good fighter, though a bit undersized. He was 5'6 at 130/135 and liked to use movement. He had some power but not enough to hurt the elites. He should have been a smaller fighter but his legs were big for his frame and wouldn't allow him to go down in weight.

    Gamache won vacant belts at 130 and 135 but lost both in his first defense.

    What I know about speaking with him is that he loves boxing, maybe more than anyone else I know. He's a good and knowledgeable trainer as well.

      Oh ****... I know where I know him from...

      He is the guy that got his career ended after Gatti put on like 100,000 pounds overnight, right?

          Yes, 'tis him. A lot of stories were that Gatti never really weighed in, he got on the scale and stepped off before the weight was even determined.
