Gatti Being Sued By Gamache

[1bad65]

I read that Gamache's trainer raised objections at the weigh-in. He swears that Gatti was over 141 at the weigh in. I hate lawsuits like the next guy, but if Gamache can PROVE Gatti did not make weight he can win. Since Gatti would have violated the contract by not making weight.

On a side note, I saw a guy strip naked to make weight for an mma fight.

DLH stripped naked to make weight for, the trinidad fight, i believe.

Was Gatti's weight 160lbs official before the fight, or is that a guess? I'm just curious, because I've seen a lot of numbers thrown around in that regard.

If the commission couldn't do a weigh-in properly, I'd say the blame lies on their shoulders. That's what the weigh-in is for. If they can't identify fighters that weren't able to make weight, then it's kind of a pointless routine. Fighters do their best to make weight, because they know they're going to be weighed. I don't think anyone intentionally misses their target, despite what people have been saying about Castillo. If they don't make it, the commission should catch them. If the commission doesn't catch them, then that's the commissions problem.

Gatti jumped on & off the scale, while the scale's dial was at 141, he never stood on the scale with 2 feet, no media was allowed to photograph the weigh-in, Gatti wasn't even close to the weight of 141, fought the fight around 160-168 depending on who you ask, and now Gamache is ruined for life....the New York commission allowed this, due to the amount of $$$ Gatti's fights had been bringing in to the state (even though this was on a DeLaHoya undercard, but nonetheless....)

another conspiracy gone horribly wrong for a poor old fighter

its funny how certain fighters are put under a microscope at a weigh in and others are aloud to do what the **** they want.Could it be a gardening issue?

the broadcast stated "nearly" twenty pounds more than at the weigh in. To me, it doesn't matter what you weigh at the fight as long as you weigh in right. Its hard to say what happened at the weigh in as its all hearsay and there isn't conclusive evidence of any wrongdoing. Gamache did have a bad chin though. No way he should have gone down the first time as it was a wide arm punch. I'll post the whole fight in about an hour

See, but isn't this all hearsay?

This happens on a weekly baises in boxing. Boxers now a days expect, attempt, and use the weight system to their liking, only way to cut down on this, is take away the junior bull**** divsions that do nothing but confuse the rankings. Three divsion champions, usally are drained out, but its become normal today so everyone is doing it.
