    You honestly believe Gomez has enough left to pull the upset?

    I hope you're right I'd love to see a repeat of the Arthur fight.

    The difference being that Arthur took a lot of shots that I don't think Khan could.

    Khan via blowout. I don't care how hard Gomez is training he doesn't have the tools anymore.

    Hopefully it will be another Sports Network fighter staggering around the ring in the second, but I can't see it really.

    If Gomez was troubled by someone as slow as Johanneson (and KTFO) I think Khan's speed will be too much in the end - but it won't be without drama, with Amir being forced to fight inside for the first time in his life.

    Khan cannot infight.... Oliver Harrison trains Jamie Moore ffs and still Khan get his head round standing in front of someone gloves high. Khan will not be able to engage Gomez in a toe to toe brawl... if he does... Ko.

    Kahn doesn't have to go toe to toe until he wants to.

    BTW has anyone seen the TV schedule? No undercard on any ITV channel and 45mins for the main event on ITV.

    This fight is so 50/50. I can not believe Warren has chucked Khan in with a guy like Gomez so early in his career.

    I agree with the thread starter in that this looks like a mismatch unfortunately.

    In many ways Gomez is made for Khan. Khan is much younger, fresher, faster and taller. He also has the added advantage of being big at Lightweight whilst Gomez usually operates at a weight below.

    Realistically I just can't see Gomez doing an "Alex Arthur" on Khan at this stage in his career. It was some five years ago - that was then and this is now.

    I hope Gomez at least comes well prepared and in the right frame of mind to make the fight reasonably competitive in the early stages.
