From a dietary standpoint, if you cut 20lbs within a couple days, nearly all of that is water. So, if you're entering the ring at 5lbs above your scale weight, you're 15lbs dehydrated, which is severe. Pass-out and become hospitalized severe. I've seen it happen.

I don't think Joey dropped 20 Lbs in the last few days. Maybe 5, or 6 Lbs, but Joey said he knew that Gatti had a history of putting on significant weight after the weigh in, and would likely blow up in weight after the weigh in, and it becomes a question of why would you only rehydrate yourself 4 3/4 if you know your opponent is going to do that.
Could be more to the story then what anyone was ever told. When you have 7, or 8 people taking a dirt nap over a meaningless fight, and court case there has to be.

I am not sure if he passed out, but Gamache claims he was out after Gatti hit him with the uppercut, and he was not awake for the two punches that hit him after that.
What I thought also thought was odd is if you watch the last 5 minutes of this video Gamache is almost in the same state as he was in after the Gatti fight. Gamache was being soaked in water as he sat in his corner long after the fight was over.
I heard stories that Gatti's people, or somebody had the medical records of there previous opponent doctored. This was said by Max Kellerman who said this, and since we are talking about the New York State Athletic Commission here anything is possible, but there is no proof of that being the case with Gamache.
