He nearly died in the hospital that night from severe head trauma and suffered brain damage. Today, Gamache works as a licensed boxing trainer, coaching some of the top fighters in the sport, though he still suffers from migraines and has admitted to once having thoughts of suicide.



In his last fight on Feb 26, 2000, Gamache was brutally knocked out in two rounds by Arturo Gatti at Madison Square Garden. He filed lawsuits against both Gatti and the New York State Athletic Commission. He alleges that Gatti weighed significantly more than the contracted weight at the time of the fight. The case was tried and decided by Judge Melvin Schweitzer, who found the state negligent in its lax handling of the pre-fight weigh-in. The judge, who was not convinced that the negligence was a substantial factor in causing an injury, did not award any damages. Gamache considered the verdict a win

Imo, apart from the Rampage fight it was pretty clear he went to shit after Sergei wrecked him.

Some false statements in this thread.

• Jeremy Bullock did not break his back. In fact, after 1 night in the hospital, he was fine to go. In any case, no lasting damage. It's a rumor that will never die, though.
• Fujita's KO loss to Overeem certainly did some brain damage, but the talk of "coma" in this thread is not true (at least I never heard of that, please provide link proof if I'm mistaken)

i think he just wasnt good enough to deal with the rising skill level in those years. Jumping around weight classes probably didnt help.

There was a lot of talk about Ninja getting brain damage / almost dying after that fight. Here's a thread about it:

Maybe it's just a spetacular story, maybe there's some truth to it. Who knows.

The fight with Denis Kang is pretty much proof of this, though he still had a few good victories such as the fight with Joey Villasenor

Watch him in interviews pre Sergei. Then watch him in interviews post Sergei.

Thanks for the info. The Bullock one, I'm sure I've read it somewhere.

Wow... that's really terrible. The dangers of extreme weight disadvantages.

Enson Inoue. Horrible ground n pound in that fight.
