The Khan v Gomez apathy on ESB tells its own story...

It is a mismatch but glass chinned Khan has took a knee against other jounrneymen before so at anytime he can be upset. Id on't see him and Frank fooling Joe Public for much longer. After these Olympics people will get bored and he will have to step up. I think he will get beaten up at the hgihest level. Maybe Frank will protect him tuntil he is 36, when he wins controversially against some former great that had been avoided for 10 years, with Khan's trainer telling him he needs a KO to win fight before 12th. After that, Frank's pundits hail him the best British fighter ever!

Only in the UK, baby.

 

I doubt whether Gomez has "bottled" being in Khan's presence, if I remember rightly, David Haye never showed for a press conference with Enzo Macc.
If not showing has got under FW and Amir Khan's skin, then all the better for Gomez. Perhaps he's busy training.
I know there has not been a lot of interest in this fight, and I do agree it appears to be a mismatch, but to be honest I think people are simply getting bored of Amir. The Limond fight was exciting, but since then it's been clear that risk taking and decent matchups are not on the agenda. Even the armchair fans and blokes down the pub are finally seeing sense.

 

Looks a total mismatch on paper; Khan is too big, fast and powerful. Chin is a question fo Khan, although Gomez is another of these blown-up SFW's and also appears to be shot; can't see him landing enough on Khan to take him out.

Here's hoping Gomez pulls it off.....but I doubt it.

 

Interesting that the poster on here who gives Gomez a chance (in fact I think he sees him as the favourite) is ex-pro Jeff Thomas.

 

I have it on VERY good authority that Gomez is training to win this.

He's taking it very seriously.

Dont know how much difference it'll make though.

 

Finger crossed Gomez knocks Khan as flat as a pancake :good

 

Just so long as those backing Gomez to win will be giving Khan praise if he wins instead...

 

I accept Khan is the favourite.... But those who think Gomez has bottled it will be in for a big suprise. Gomez fights with his heart.. He's not going to be embarrased come sunday morning put it that way. Plus its his birthday saturday. Maybe he'll blow out Khan insted of his candles. lol

 

If any fighter trains not to win you should retire. Simple as.

Thats a given.

 

If Khan emphatically stops Gomez I will give him some credit.

 

I dont have a problem with khan I just like Gomez. To be fair to Khan he can only beat who they put in front of him. I see Khan doing a hatton and leaving once his contact is up. I think he thinks he is ready to move up a class but if gomez turns up keen and not just looking for a payday he could be a real good test for khan.

 

It's hard to think the Olympics was 4 years ago now and Khan has still fought nobody.

 

Can't work out whether your point is that Jeff has a different perspective being an ex-pro and maybe sees something we dont, or that he has taken more blows to the head than the rest of us so maybe that's affecting his judgement! :tong

 

Lol... prob a bit of both... :yep
