Folks, I kinda' like the sudden switch-over from Dave Haye to Juan C. Gomez for Vitali Klitschko... One being, Klitschko will now fight in March instead of June.... Also, by making this recent shift of opponents, it also freezes Chris Arreola outta the title picture for at least another year... Now it seemingly has become where Vitali Klitschko defends against # 1 pretender Juan Gomez and Wladdy Klitschko will now defend against former Cruiser champ and current over-hyped star Dave Haye from England.... Well, good..... I'm all for this move or change of plans..... Peace... MR.BILL
Vitali vs Gomez doesn't excite me one bit. Gomez lost to Yanqui Diaz for godsake. lol Vitali kills him for sure.. But yea Wlad/Haye is a good thing.. GO HAYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gomez was not trained properly for the Diaz fight and he underestimated him. Since then he has proven as a strong HW contender, however Vitali wins this one anyway.
Gomez is very average, Vitali will be FAR too strong and too big. He will simply walk through him. Gomez doesn't have anywhere near the firepower needed to keep Vitali from applying pressure and breaking him down.
It didn't seem realistic that Vitali would give up his belt after he has made such a big deal about it fr years....
By beating Mcall? Gomez is soft. Klithcko will break him down. Gomez will quit of get ktfo either way he will not be the champ after that fight s over.
I'm glad to receive all the hub-bub, etc..... I too, am NOT a follower, of Juan Gomez or Dave Haye............. I do, however, grasp the nuts of the "K" brothers...... I wish them well in 2009........ SCREW Chris Arreola and his donkey..... Cheers...... MR.BILL
I like old Ollie McCall.... But he is aging and slow as all hell....... Still, I wish McCall lotsa' luck..... "Holy-McCall" anyone??? Peace... MR.BILL
I think VK - Gomez and WK - Haye are better fights than VK - Haye and WK - Arreola...so yeah this is good news!
Gomez earned his shot at Vitali. He fought in two eliminators and did his job. I think Vitali KOs him, but it will be a decent scrap as long as it lasts.
I'm glad Chris Arreola is being sidelined for now........... Arreola is NOT near being ready for a title shot...... What are his people thinking?? Arreola would be fodder against either "K" brother....... Let Arreola fight a comebacking "Briggs or Peter." MR.BILL
J. C. has some nice fundamentals so this could be interesting for a few rounds, but imo he doesn't have the chin to stay with Vitaly for too long.
