Come on Gomez!!!

Hitman_Hatton · 10-17-2007, 07:43 AM

Hope Mike does the job on Johansson this friday. I have my doubts but think theres a fair chance Mike could get him out of there early. From all reports Johansson seemed rather rattled and slightly intimidated by Gomez at last weeks presser so thats a good sign. Im under no illusions that Gomez has seen better days but i think he may have got into Carl's head who may also still be reeling from getting absolutely destroyed in his last fight. Mike has more than a fair chance. One thing is for sure it will be fun while it lasts!!!

Come on Michael!!!!

I'm looking forward to seeing John Fewkes v Gary Reid on the undercard of this one - hope Sky show it. I'll be rooting for Fewkes!

you were hanging around on that other thread if I remember correctly, spouting the same guff. " I know Gomez so that means he will win the fight blah blah"

When I took you to task on it & asked you to explain your reasons & of course I explained why I picked Johanneson to win, you disappeared quick style.

So what if you bumped into Gomez in a pub & got his autograph, that doesnt mean hes going to win.

& please, if Gomez does pull of the upset, dont come in screaming like you are the new god of the forum. Cos upsets do happen in boxing, but you didnt say why Gomez would win. You are just throwing your ball on the roulette wheel, & hoping it comes up red.

Thats no way to win respect here newb. You got some time left, lets hear some reasons why Gomez will pull of the upset! I just set the 'respect clock'

tick tock...

motion granted .

I expect this to be a great fight and I really don't care who wins once my expectations are met . Slight chance of a war maybe ?

I'll respond for xoborp.

Gomez has faced better competiton and is far more battle tested. Johanneson has not fought many punchers. When he has, like Leva, he came up short - twice. The mercurial Gomez is not used up and is taking boxing more seriously than he has in a while. He's fought, and beaten, better.

Welcome to ESB xoborp!

There is a really good piece about Gomez on BritishBoxing.net by our Terry D that is worth checking out.

How Is this fight even considered to be competitive when Gomez struggled with Thorpe since he returned?

So Is he going to fight stupid then?

Now thats what I am talking about, people putting their neck on the line like you have Tuavale. THATS what this forum should be about, people putting their neck on the block like a true man, none of this "Gomez will win cos hes Gomez" shit.

Respect to you Tuavale

As for this Xopork guy? The clock is still ticking. can he make a valid boxing point before the fight takes place in under 24 hours?

Tick tock...

Dunky McCafferty · 10-18-2007, 08:07 PM

As for my good men GazOC & Bigears putting my name forward for honours here, thanks you pair of fuckers

Poor old me, Im not half being painted as ESB's no1 bad guy!

You boys better watch though, just incase Achilles brings me on board to help get this place well & truly rocking!

Now theres a sobering thought, eh?

GazOC · 10-18-2007, 10:36 PM

Sobering? Its half 3 now, I've been drinking since 9 and thats just straightened me out in a flash!!!

I'll have to have another Bailies just get myself off to sleep....

ha ha you should sign up for the joe calzaghe forum mate. plenty of arguements to have on there!!!

achillesthegreat · 10-19-2007, 03:34 AM

Chin may be a big factor in this. If they shoot out, Carls chin may give.

I want Gomez to win because I want to see him rematch Arthur.
