Thread: Alfonso Gomez did pretty good considering... Pics included.

Hello everyone, I want thank you all for the support that you have shown through out the past training camp. I have to admit that I wasn’t as prepared for Ben Tackie as I was for Gatti, but I give myself credit because I won convincibly.

I suffered an in jury in my left hand, making my victory all that sweeter. In the second round, with a minute to go, I hit him with a left-uppercut/straight-right/left-uppercut combination where I broke the knuckle of the index finger from the left hand.

Even though pain ran up my arm when I hit it, I had to keep my game plan. The fight continued to be pretty steady for the first half of the fight. The second half Tackie upped the pressure allowing me to execute some of the things that we had worked in the gym like dodge, back up, block, counter-attack, and slip punches. I used my legs and lateral movement to keep him off while at the same time making pay when he missed. At the end I believe I won 8 rounds without doubt and was happy that I had gone the distance of 10 rounds for the first time without even feeling too exhausted.

Making the weight wasn’t hard at all. I had to do the obvious diet but nothing extreme. I don’t know why the fight was at 148 lbs, because that meant using 10oz gloves. I requested to have the weight changed to 147lbs in hopes of using smaller gloves, but request was turned down. After that we didn’t worry about anything but getting conditioning and working on defense. I sparred against Freddy Hernandez, Octavio Narvaez, Vardan Gasparyan and Juan Valenzuela, and each one brought something that helped me for the fight.

Now apparently if Chavez Jr. is successful against Ray Sanchez III this coming December, on March 29 him and I will trade leather here in the Los Angeles area. The Doctor that operated on my hand is the same doctor that operated on Oscar de la Hoya a few years back, Dr. Zimmel. He said that I should be healed by my next fight. I’m going to try and follow my therapy, take a few acting courses, and take advantage of my LA Fitness membership to not gain too much weight. In the mean time take a look at Hy3rid’s progress and support it like you support me. Take care…

Alfonso

Well that explains the style he used in the later part of the fight.

Shit! you gotta applaud him for what he did for that even much more is why he's always a fan favorite.

Hope all is well with him and he recovers properly so that come March he's ready to go.

Thanks for the news Danny.

The kid has a huge heart.
This reminds me of Kermit Cintron but not like you think. Kermit went to the doctors to have his hand checked and the Dr. threw Kermit out, saying: "Get the phuk outta here! There is nothing wrong with your phuking hand biatch! LMAO!

Good for Gomez and hope that hand heals fast. I like that kid and want to see how far he can get. Kermit needs lessons from him

Impressive..especially with how low key he's kept the injury.

It's pretty obvious that Kermit did the hand injury thing to cover up why he looked shitty at times against Jesse.
Also to maybe try to make the Williams fight drag out a little more and buy him som time maybe.

Which brings me to another heartless coward. Floyd said he hurt his hand against Baldomir. If you believe that, then you will believe anything. Floyd never even went to a doctor and was partying all night long like it was 1999. I remember people talking shiet about Cotto/Malignaggi but Cotto did indeed hurt his hand in the 5th. and was wearing a cast for a couple of months after. Floyd is a thief. He don't earn his money, he steals it from the public.

Good on Alfonso, he's one of my favourite fighters, a good honest grafter. Puts cry baby Cintron to shame, no wonder his mum named him after a puppet frog the muppet.

I'd love to Alfonso and Kermit get it on and for Alfonso to grind him down and make him quit in the late rounds.
