Gomez vs Thaxton!!!

prefer thaxton myself

 

Thaxton better fighter now.
But Gomez reached peaks that thaxton never has, nor will in his career.

 

Thaxton is a more consistent performer, but you never quite know what is going to turn up when Gomez steps through the ropes.

 

Good points by all i think...

 

Talking of what Gomez turns up - according to the Sporting Life website he has failed to show up for a pre fight press conference for his fight with Khan.

Apparently Warren is disappointed and has accused Gomez of showing a lack of respect to the media and his opponent. Khan reported to have called Gomez an idiot and says he is scared!

Yeah, I was reading that on the BBC news site. Warren will rip him for this in the press.

 

atsch

Warren is disappointed with everyone these days - Setanta have it in the neck for signing David Haye and a deal with Top Rank.

So Frank would rather not see Cotto vs Margarito, or does he have a ringside ticket???

Speaking of lack of respect, strange - Khan isn't exactly the respectful type, he doesn't respect the laws of this land by getting nicked for speeding every five minutes. He only needs a drink driving conviction to become an honourary Premiership footballer.

Gomez probably is an idiot, I don't know or care (Jeff can shed some light perhaps) - all I want to see is him ensuring that Khan is KTFO, and as for being scared, you are having a laugh :rofl

 

Although many were disappointed with the Khan v Gomez match up when it was announced it was thought the pre fight build up would be entertaining at least so it is odd that Gomez chose not to show up for the media, etc.

Lets hope he backs up his talk when he gets in the ring with Khan then.

 

Gomez is no idiot.... he's a quality bloke... nowhere near as anti social as he comes across on the telly. Very funny, team player and he's going to shock the world on saturday. Khan 16-1 on apparently... Thanks for my holiday this year bookies. :good

 

What talk? He hasn't said anything yet has he?

 

33-1 on if you check Skybet, with Gomez at 9-1

So have you seen Gomez in training lately??

I saw Carl Johanneson in Leeds recently totally pissed up, but he said he was going to have a cheeky fiver on Gomez - and wants a rematch with Kevin Mitchell, who he should have finished off really.

 

Spoke to him quite recently also talk to his trainers very reguarly. Lots of inside info.... :yep

 

I am definately going to have a dabble on Gomez, just checked Corals and he is 8/1 with Khan at 1/33, it has got to be worth it. I have said from the moment this was announced that Gomez could be the one to defeat Amir... hope I am right

 

Juan Diaz is Khans perfect foil.... Gomez is about as close as your going to get domestically.... A hard hitting pressure fighter who is great at closing distance and infighting.
