Wilfredo Gomez in Bad health

Damn, hope he makes it out alright. Good thing he lost all that weight he had, it'll help.

 

That's a real shame.

 

Hang in there Bazooka!

 

He's not that old either. Has he had health problems for awhile?

 

Damn. I wanted to ask him about the Sakad Petyindee fight.

 

He's only 56, but he got very, very heavy and also lived a very wild lifestyle. I think he lost a lot of the weight a year or two ago, though. Hopefully he pulls through.

Serious Q, ss that actually that serious? - "He's in danger of contracting pneumonia."

How bad is pneumonia? 1 of my girlfriend's had it a few times and I always told her to eat better and stop moaning.

 

There are different types. "walking pneumonia" isn't THAT serious if you treat it and stay on top of it, but other types are damn serious. It's a bacterial or viral attack on the lungs, after all. Not good.

 

Yeah this, depending on the type it can be very serious. Tony Galento got pneumonia right before he was supposed to fight Joe Louis and nearly died, needed several blood transfusions and a few months in hospital. Of course medicine has advanced since then but given his very unhealthy lifestyle it could be the end of Bazooka.

 

I'd be surprised if he doesn't pull through.

 

Pneumonia can kill.

 

Gomez went to Sal Sanchez' funeral....and always paid great respect to him
over the years.
