Boxing’s Dangerous Weight Game

September 3, 2018 by Jack Johnson Leave a Comment

Boxing’s Dangerous Weight Game

Back in 2000, Arturo Gatti ended Joey Gamache's career and nearly killed him in a junior welterweight bout when he entered the ring as a middleweight, putting on 19 pounds between weigh-in Friday and fight night Saturday.

Old School: Part Two

By Ted Sares A pier six mind-set involving an inclination to engage in brutal street-like brawls was a part of the old-school mix.

Historical Fight Night: Gatti-Arguello II, Edwin Valero vs. Salvador Sanchez

by Fox Doucette Three weeks ago, controversy erupted at the Historical Fight Night Arena in San Dimas, California, as Arturo Gatti defeated Alexis Arguello by 8th-round knockout at junior welterweight.
