I've been waiting for someone to upload that one. Probably my favourite Gomez performance.

Scratch that. The Yum fight was definitely his most impressive. One of the most impressive performances ever, actually.

hey el quick question how did you have the Sanchez fight scored before the stoppage? i had gomez doing ok up until...

Just watched Qawi savage Jerry Martin before the fight was mercifully halted in the 6th. Talk about a gimme first defense for Qawi.......a plodding, methodical standup boxer-puncher who was past his best in Martin. Ouch. Stylistically, the man stood zero chance of beating someone like Qawi, and he was never in the fight.

This, along with the Eddie Davis fight and to some extent the Saad rematch, show me that Qawi tended to let up on the gas a bit when he had his man in trouble. Both Davis and Martin were completely out on their feet and came back to survive a number of rounds longer than a true killer should have allowed them to.

Qawi was awesome, wasn't he?

A head to head beast, that's for sure. Exceptionally difficult guy to beat or look good against.

Ever see the Qawi-Foreman fight? Faked a KD then swung at Big George. Sneaky ol' fuck.

I did! He also tried to sucker Holyfield in the 15th round of their first fight in a similar fashion.

The middle rounds were actually quite close. Great beginning and ending for Sanchez, but the fight isn't the schooling throughout that it's often made to be.

Loses points for being dropped and stunned by T-Rex-armed-above-average-Asian.

True. Dropped in the first and stunned two more times before the end of the third. Yum wasn't a puncher, either, even though he was made to look like a go-for-broke bomber by Gomez. From the 4th round on that fight is a one-sided masterpiece.

totally agree. wonderful fight regardless and incredible win by sanchez once he started zoning in

The way Gomez crumbled early under Sanchez' punches(and sal was a straight accumulation guy with a flattering stoppage record imo) spoke badly for his punch resistance.

Fight was basically over after that, even though he showed massive balls to battle away for a while and make Sanchez work for it.

ring magazine described him well in their best punchers of all time and said just that: he was an accurate but not devasting puncher. the problem with sanchez was that he'd hit the same spot, over and over, with straight punches and brilliant counterpunches until you HAD to fall
