    On the Showtime undercard tomorrow night.

    Gomez looked better than I expected against Canelo. Think he has any chance against Porter?

    Shawn Porter? That's actually a decent match-up.

    Decent match but i was impressed with Porter in his last fight. Very explosive. Good work rate. Accurate. Hits hard.

    Gomez has good skills and i like the guy but i think Porter takes it.

    Porter has a lot of potential. Fast hands, powerful. Good movement.

    Gomez, as everyone mentioned, is underrated on his skill. He certaily stole some rounds from Alvarez very clearly.

    I'd say its Porters biggest match up yet and a "do or die" for Gomez career.

    I've been waiting to see Porter step it up. I like him in this one but he's going to have to work. Gomez won't just hand him the W.

    Porter by tko or ko 7 and probably from a body-shot,because gomez is soft in the belly.
