    Hours before the Sanchez fight Gomez was 4 lbs overweight,he sat in a sauna in a plastic suit to make 112lbs.

    Whooa, he got carried away. Maybe 4 days in the sauna to make 112 (just kidding, I know you meant 126).

    I have never discussed his strategy for that fight but he did say that he felt very weak. He gives Gomez credit and said he was very strong, and that the most challenging aspect was that his movement was exceptional. Carlos doesn’t say he would have won a rematch but he says he’d have done much better had he had another crack at Gomez.

    "Carlos Zarate had a flue when he lost to Gomez"

    I just voted for this because it gave me the giggles and I love it, as a sentence.
