Frankie Gomez lands a punch on Jose Benavidez at the 2009 US National Finals

It's fight night folks! It's been 6 years since these two last fought at the US amateur championships, and Gomez picked up the title by beating Benavidez on points, starting the biggest US boxing rivalry in a dozen years. Ever since they turned pro in 2010, Benavidez under Top Rank, Gomez under Golden Boy, this potential clash has been part of passionate discussions, and after long years of building, waiting, press rivalry and fan demand, Todd deBouf and Richard Schaefer finally made boxing's superbowl, staging the megafight at the recently opened Los Angeles Stadium.

The crowd of 90.000 is absolutely electric. Gomez from East LA gets a huge cheer as he's being introduced by Michael Buffer: 2-division champion, undefeated, and represents the same city as his boss who stands right next to him. But the crowd is chanting Jo-se! Jo-se! just a minute later as Benavidez' achievements are being read: unbeaten two-time champion, trained by Freddie Roach, now lives in Los Angeles as well. HBO's PPV lines are ringing, boxing servers are overloaded, and heart rates are going crazy: LET'S GET READY TO RUMBLEEEEEEEE!!!!!

What's your pick?

"sigh"

What's the point behind that post? You've somehow managed to start talking about Floyd Mayweather on a thread about Gomez and Benevidez. A very good, and creative one at that. There's enough threads for you to spout this crap, so what was the point in doing it on this one?

LA Stadium won't get built in City of Industry. AEG will build an NFL stadium in downtown LA. Then hopefully, the Rams come back home to LA in 2015.

Benavidez would crush him.

Bluku Bluku! · Feb 17, 2016

does anyone know who won this fight lol

Bluku Bluku! · Feb 17, 2016

Anyway what happened to these 2? they were being hyped up loads a few years back and both looked good, now no one talks about them yet they are still undefeated.... have their performances really gone downhill or something?

El Chicano · Feb 17, 2016

They havent lived up to hype at all.

Gomez lacks discipline and motivation. He is like Rios

Benavidez is just not as good as many thought he would be. Decent, but may be chinny and Herrera got robbed against him.

If they fought it would be a good fight. Gomez was able to maul him in the amateurs

Funnily, this would sill actually be a good fight...just not in the way the OP thought.
