You would think he would fight more aggressively if he was.

The question I have is... is this just the opposite of the Chavez Jr. diuretic issue. I mean if he received a ban for testing positive for something that helped him crap the water weight away. Could he have just sat in a sauna for extra hours before the weigh in been helped to the scales and then been issued the same IV to rehydrate overnight to his usual 20 lbs over? If the NY state athletic commission and Gatti could be sued by gamache for purging and then gaining enough weight (19lbs- if you believe there was no scale tampering) overnight naturally to end gamache's career with punches... How does it become a non issue now to do it unnaturally?
They want your @$$ beat because upsets make news. News brings about excitement, excitement brings about ratings. The objective is to bring you up to the tower and tear your @$$ down. And if you don't believe that, you're crazy.
