As much as I wanted to see Gomi get back on track I predicted this would happen. Like his teammate Aoki, Kitaoka is slick on the ground. Surprised Herman lost, he dominated the 1st R (Choi did hurt him with a punch) but gassed towards the end. In R2 he was barely moving around (with his hands low) then Choi landed a few punches and it was over. He use to bang on about not training much, maybe this loss will give him a kick up the backside he needs.
It wont. Gomi is a waster and a play boy. As both of us said on another thread another loss wouldnt surprise me. And to think he used to be one of the best lightweights in the world..
I was talking about Herman not Gomi. Gomi just doesn't have the hunger/desire anymore. It such a shame as he is very talented. I dont believe he is shot as he hasn't really been in many proper wars/had brutal beatings. He is still 30 so could turn it around but at the moment it doesn't look likely
My bad. Gomi isnt shot at all he`s just totally not interested. I think that was fairly evident since the Diaz fight when he just turned up. Oh well..
Sucks ive always like Gomi at his peak he was a top 10 fighter in the world easilu just look at everyone hes beat. I guess that eras over. I agree with Scur he doesnt seem to have any real intrest or desire anymore.
Antionio "Big foot" Silva got caught taking steroids in America. So, he went to Japan where he can use steroids. Silva suffers form Gigantism and is only 6'4. I guess he would of been about 5'3 without it. I have never heard of such a short Giant. He is barely taller than I am.
The guy definitly suffers from Gigantism. You can see it in his bone structure. I doubt he takes the steroids as a performance enhancer though as he was 300lbs. He`s probably using them to loose weight as he produces crazy amounts of HGH naturally because of the Gigantism. Good way of stacking really :yep
As he never fully served his suspension its unlikely we will be seeing him fight in the US again. Definitely a risky move.
i think gomi is done. much like chuck and wand he hasnt evolved with the game and he is past his prime
His not past his prime and theres nothing wrong with his game. His attitude is just awful and his horribly lazy. I honestly dont know why he bothers to fight as he just turns up.
