Jofre vs Gomez at 122

Jofre was peaked at 118.... Gomez was at his best at 122..... Gomez wins on power and strength... But since Eder Jofre was a master boxer, Gomez would have to settle for a decision.... Jofre couldn't bust an egg with his power, but his skills were top-notch..... At 122, its Gomez....

Jofre had 50 knockouts from 72 wins. He had 8 title fights and won 6 of them, all by knockout with plenty of knockdowns in these fights, he lost the other two in very close decisions to Fighting Harada. There is very little footage of Jofre available, but by most accounts he had knockout power in each hand.

 

Jofre is too much in pretty much all of the departments. Definitely not one to fall for the bullying tactics of Gomez. I can envisage a stoppage, a late one for Jofre. As accomplished as Gomez was at the weight, he was still somewhat raw.

 

You're talking straight out of your ass.

 

he wasn't raw at all, at least if you're alluding to his skills.

IMo he's one of the most ridiculously skilled fighters of all-time.Though some of his moves may have been magnified by some less than stellar opponents.

As far as Jofre's power goes, it's likely he hit as hard as Olivares or zarate.Most of his knockouts were true one-punch stoppages.

 

Ah my mistake.

 

It will be a close fight I feel.

Both are supremely skilled, supremely tough, have remarkable powers of recuperation and tremendous will to win.

Each fighter has one advantage over the other:
- At 122, Gomez probably has the naturally heavier hands
- Jofre, on the other hand, has more stamina than Gomez and can come on late in a fight.

Which advantage will win the day?

I'd probably pick Jofre to win an 8-7 type of decision. Both men will hurt each other, but they will both come back strong, as they are want to do. Gomez will get up a few points early, but Jofre will peg him back over the long haul and sneak home the win.

For what it's worth, I think I'd pick a prime Jofre over any bantamweight that ever lived. I think he'd likely knock Zarate and Olivares out, and he'd probably meet his toughest opponent in Fighting Harada, whose pressure, buzzsaw style and good piston jab are stylistic impediments to the more mechanical precision of Jofre. I'd probably still pick Jofre over Harada though.

I'm not sure how the likes of Panama Al Brown or Raul Macias would go against him, but what will likely foil Jofre is an extremely skilled and slick boxer with an excellent chin, stamina and workrate. If anyone in Jofre's prime exposed this, it was Herman Marques, a really good boxer type, who was leading Jofre on the scorecards quite comfortably before he was let down by his shaky chin.

When it comes to good, tough, solid technicians like Chucho Castillo, Lupe Pintor, Rafael Herrera, Jose Becerra etc, I don't think they'll ever beat Jofre, because Jofre just does everything that they do BETTER than what they do.

 

Goddamn.... I love this hoopla / action..... Peace........ BUT! Gomez wins at 122 lbs....

 

Jofre was a bad mouthereffer. But Gomez was a beast at 122. He had all the tools. Gomez was more than a huge puncher and also had great movement/footwork. Anybody has to have big respect for his punching power at this weight. I'll take Gomez by very close decision.

 

mouthereffer? WTF? Apparently a few too many beers for me tonight. At least I'm not talkin' outta my ass, lol.
