Why Vitali-Gomez will be more competetive than expected....

Gomez does have skills but he has hasn't been tested by a decent top 5 contender.

It will be a good fight to watch.

 

I hope you're right cuz this fight has stinker written all over it.

 

Gomez is a good fighter. Lots of talent.

However, he has been extremely flatfooted lately...I just don't think you can get away with that against Vitali. Also, he seems to have slowed down.

But you never know. I think he'll make it competitive for about 4 rounds and then get outboxed to a UD.

 

Just watching Gomez-Virchis now.

Gomez will cause Vitali some problems. Guys technique and combinations are excellent. Not sure how he will cope with Vitali's height and reach though.

 

Exactly.

Everybody saying Quitali will put him through the ropes when he hit Sam Peter with everything and still couldn't put him down.

Clearly never seen Gomez fight. I think it will be very, very close in a fight that could probably be scored a draw or for either side.

Completely irrelevant, but I always thought you were Max Alexander the dude off the Contender series with Bika and Soliman and Codrington in.

 

Fully agree. Gomez will have his moments before being taken out.

 

Gomez is going to be brutally beaten in this fight, mark my words. His only chance of winning this fight is a Vitali injury or a cut, thats it. Gomez is a good boxer, and can throw combinations when he wants to. But as another poster pointed out, he does stand flooted at times, something you cant do against a guy with great jab and heavy righthand. Yes, Gomez is more skilled than Peter overall, but he also his drawback as well, he lacks the power or the chin to go the distance with Vitali. Look for this fight to end relatively early, my guess would be the 4th round. Vitali will be just too much to handle for Gomez.

 

Most people just wanna see a good fight and vitaili seem like he alway bitching about something. i hope this is a good fight please. I hope gomez can land a big right hand when Vagina has is left hand down low as normal


Please just be a good title fight HW boxing fans need it badly

 

I think Gomez is a very good fighter, and he's worked as a sparring partner for the Klitschko's so he knows what to expect. Many times good fighters have had problems with fighting sparring partners. I think Vitali will win.... and I hope he get his due credit for it(but I don´t think so). I'm expecting an extremely impressive performance from Vitali.

 

Gomez actually has a reach advantage over Vitali...

 

Something I didn't know till 5 minutes ago: Vitali's reach 80", Gomez's reach 80.5"

 

I've just posted that now. After my post I went over to boxrec to check out the presumed reach advantage Vitali would have and to my shock he doesn't!

 

how's gomez's spare tire? weight?
that'll pretty much decide it.

 

Gomez has a reach advantage?

Damn.

That could make a big, big difference in this fight.
