Jeff Fenech WTD4 Carlos Zarate

He took like 3 or 4 goes to make the weight for that fight I think flea..For some reason he really struggled actually.

 

I guess he didn't bother training hard. Really hard to fathom that, and strange I wasn't aware as it's one of my favourite fights.

Cagey first three rounds then Gomez gets into fifth gear and batters Zarate. Bit naughty hitting him when he's down but it's heat of the moment stuff and in Puerto Rico, don't think it would've changed anything. As the towel comes in Zarate looks dishevelled and disheartened.

Shame, as the victory doesn't seem as great now knowing Zarate had trouble making the weight.

Is there any credence in Gomez undertraining for the Sanchez fight? Again, as in Zarate-Gomez I don't think it would make a difference to the outcome.

 

Yeah, there was some talk of Gomez struggling to make weight for that fight too, despite also coming up in weight.
