I say Gomez wins the fihgt tonight, and may shock by a late KO. also have mora winning in a tougher than expected fight.
Tackie is definitely there for the taking, he has taken a lot of beatings in the ring. A late round tko for Gomez would not suprise me, but a decision win is more likely. Gomez will beat JCC Jr. as well, Gomez has beaten way better competition.
Gomez by decission. I would be suprise if Gomez takes him out . . . Tackie survived Kostya Tszyu, Shamba Mitchell and Ricky Hatton . . . a UD loss. :yep
Ben Tackie has never been stopped and I don't see Gomez stopping him here. I'm not even sure Tackie has been down before. Gomez will most likely win by UD, but if he can stop Tackie that to me is a big accomplishment.
He just went 10 rounds with Freddy Hernandez who hits harder than Gomez. Gomez is not a very hard hitter, despite what it looked like when he beat a past it Gatti. Hernandez has 17 KO's in his 21 wins and Gomez has 8 in 17. He could stop him, but I personally wouldn't bet on it.
That's right dude Tackie is older now . . . meaning he won't trade as much and will likely be more defense concious at this point that's why, he will have a bigger chance to survive the full route. :yep
I dont think he will get knocked out...but im hoping gomez will win. Tackie's prime was at 140 too...so hes past his prime and has prolly slowed down a lot
