Its said that there is no such thing as perfection, but if you are talking about 122lb fighters, then Wilfredo Gomez did indeed inhabit that very exclusive neighbourhood, at 126lb whilst no longer guaranteed the penthouse suite, he could still be a classy resident, if only passing through on a short term tenancy. Jorge Paez by comparison had literally lived in a tent, but as a "Big Top" performer was very popular, and in the ring could rise to the big occassion as many a topliner found out to his cost, beneath that showbiz greasepaint was a heavy coating of aztec warpaint. Gomez is usually all business from the off, Paez usually gets down to business along the way, how would Gomez react if his usually effective early precision bombing is greeted with disrespectful mugging and showboating by Paez, ? How would Paez react if Gomez is unaffected and attempts to sink Paez's showboat with more of his explosive torpedoes ? how would Gomez fare when Paez really gets down to business and battle is joined ? the early psychological war might be fascinating, would Gomez fall into a Trapeze set ? (sorry, couldnt resist it !) Paez could be very defensively adept when he wanted to, but could he be so against such a precise puncher as Gomez ? The Joker face or the Poker face ? a King of the Ring or a Clown with a Crown ? who concludes business with their hand raised ? - smooth operator Gomez or rough trader Paez ?
