Gomez is a decent test for Chavez actually. Gomez is a decent fighter who has been in with much better competition than Chavez. The problem is that Gomez is really a welterweight who could compete at 154 but middleweight is too big for him. But he has has some success at that weight in the past. This might turn out to be an ok fight and Chavez should be the favorite but not a big one.
Better fight than Duddy... IMO That said, its called progression at least dude is fighting. Would have rather had the Cotto fight, But **** happens.
Decent stepping stone. After the saul alvarez's fight with Baldomir I was thinking about Gomez's name for saul alvarez's next fight. Recognized name with not much ko power. good pick by his management.
