    You could make a case for Olivares as greater than Gomez, but peak for peak I just see Gomez as the better fighter.

    Gomez by KO.

    Note: Forgot that I previously commented on this one.

    A sadistic Gomez gets Olivares by rounds 5 or 6.

    20 better fights than Gomez vs. Olivares at 118? I’d be curious seen as though Gomez is the top at 122 and Olivares is certainly a top 3 or 4 at bantam and both had amazing exciting styles.

    I rate Gomez at 122 over 15 rounds to be about as unbeatable as any fighter every at a specific weight.

    He wins this by KO. Would be competitive for a while but Bazooka has the heavier artillery here and asserts himself in the middle rounds to overwhelm Olivares.
