Juan Carlos Gomez vs. Samuel Peter ~ WBC heavyweight title ~ Interim Title

Too often, I see people writing ________ by easy UD when it comes to facing Samuel Peter. But this guy is going to be trouble for any heavyweight out there.

 

100 % true, theres not many Heavywieghts out there whos heavyhanded with a great chin aside from Tua.

 

First of all Rahman is no joke, hes far better than a joke. And if McCall is only hanging around for the money why is he in such a great shape and in his best shape since years?? The guys is dead serious! He has great work ethic and he wants to do something, Gomez is the one whos lazy and propably only fighting for the money, as sad as it is! Hes the one who lacks the desire!! I think you are a bit weird? And about Peter, 9i think you underrate his boxing abilities a bit! he cant move like Ali and with his build that doesnt suprise me but the guy is talented and is improving his skills. And he can be pretty fast if he wants to.

 

Hes far away from the shape he could be in and needs to be in to be at 100%. In recent pictures it looks he has gained weight again since his last fight.

 

I'm sure that if u look hard enough u'll see that it's the same people filling in that blank line every time. Peter is gonna be a handful or anyone. Maskaev figured this out and jumped ship.

 

I'm rooting for your capslock key.

 

Rahman beat Toney before Peter did, so there goes the theory that Peter all of a sudden became a master boxer.

JCG should be able to outpoint Peter but then again JCG was KO'd early by Yankme Diaz who Peter chased around the ring and KO'd.

Hard to pick a winner here, I'll say that Peter catches up to Gomez eventually for the KO.

Peter by KO early to mid rounds

 

Rahman didn't beat Toney nearly as bad as Peter did.

Rahman could not figure out to throw the right hand as Toney was fully extened into his bend either. He is not as smart as Samuel Peter in the ring. Rahman also does not have much of a left hook, which is the second weapon you would use on a guy like Toney as he is entering that bend.

After 12 rounds Sam Peter had Toney figured out.

I suppose it's only fair to say that maybe Rahman would have figured out Toney in 24 rounds as well, but who knows. Rahman still has never had the offensive arsenal that Sam Peter has shown in his short career.

As far as Gomez is concerned, he has a hard time staying focused on boxing. When he is boxing and moving he is very good. But against Diaz he got careless and started to trade with Diaz. And that is how he got knocked silly.

Little do people realise too that Gomez boxed Sinan Sam's ears off something silly. If he stayed focus he'd give Sam Peter a very hard time as Sam would have trouble pinching him in corners. Gomez is very good on his feet.

It would take some rough housing on the part of Sam Peter to catch Gomez. Or he could try and play the jab game but against a determined Gomez that could be difficult.

As shocking as this may seem I see an opportunity here for Gomez to win.

 

It's a tough call to make either way, I just don't see Gomez knocking Peter out or Peter winning a decision without the help of a few knockdowns.

I don't see Peter jabbing his way inside against a superior jabber in Gomez.

SSS is slower than molasses, he makes Peter look fast. This is why I don't rate JCG's victory over SSS that highly when concidering how a Peter vs. Gomez match would go.

I'd say the chance for a Peter win by KO is 65% to a Gomez win by decision at 35%.

 

Peter takes this one.

 

Toney is overrated..i'll take Gomez UD

 

I agree with you about Sinan's foot and hand speed. He is terribly slow. Which is why I could not forsee Gomez beating Sam Peter that badly.

But people today really underrate Gomez based on his loss to Yanqui Diaz. Sam would have his hands full with Gomez in my estimation. Considering Diaz got him with a right hand though you have to give Sam Peter as much chance if not more. I like to believe he is faster than Diaz and put together much better.

I'm still not sold on it but I'll take Sam Peter by decision. His speed and power may be enough to put Gomez into survival mode.

 

Gomez is one of the most underrated fighters out there. If he is focused (lazy Cuban) he is a very tough nut. Technically he is Top5 or maybe even Top3 in the division.

Gomez wins that one via UD (8-4)

 

Fact. I think Gomez wins by about the same decision. He's even an under-rated puncher (not that he hits hard enough to KO the iron chinned Peter - but hard enough for Peter to feel it).

 

Gomez is not underrated, he's highly overrated. Peter however, is underrated, some feel he's a totally unskilled brute, like Vladimir Virchis is, this is simply not a fact and shows the attentiveness of most boxing fans to be not very impressive.

Peter KO, in 5 or less.
