The Joey Gamache incident

[Mifferz]

I have not seen the fight with Gatti. I heard this Gatti came in overweight? But how did he when they have a weigh in before the fight, and its common for fighters to 'bloat' up on the fight day. Can you shed me some light on what was the issue and how was it resolved?

[puppy_dogg]

gatti was 15lbs heavier than joey when they fought. the combo that ended it was a brutal three punch combonation, it messed gamache up and it was the last fight of his career.

someone messed with the scale or something like that, and gatti came in huge against joey, and damn near killed him, it was one of the most brutal ko's in the history of the sport, joey sued the NYSAC and won. that's why gattin brings his own scale now to the weigh-ins now and never lets hbo weigh him the night of the fight. joey tried to sue gatti and his people for tampering, but nothing happend to him , instead joey got the commission. joey's corner should have protested before the fight, cause you could tell there was a massive size difference between the two.. even though it retired joey he got millions from it(sueing) and now is a trainner...so...whatever,it's old news but watch it if you can cause it's brutal....!!!

i saw the fight , it was a terrible KO , but how did someoe mess with the scale ?*
explain , because if it s true it s scandalous.

and gatti overweighed him by around 18 pounds !!!!!

Righteo, just watched the fight. Damn Gatti was a huge mofo. That Ko was damn right brutal. Never knew guys could bloat themselves up that much. Any other fighters put on as much weight after weigh in?

daniel santos is a super middleweight or a lihjt heavyweight in his super welterweight fights

Yes James Toney against Roy Jones put I kow it was over 20 pounds he put on. Gatti vs Gamache one of his all time knockouts, if I was Gamache he should have tried to box because I do not think gatti would have lasted five rounds in those days. U should also see Gatti fight before that guy named Munoz he blasted out real bad

I remember Gatti came in weighing over a 160 lbs for that fight. Gamache was carried out on a stretcher after that fight I believe.
