Juan Carlos Gomez is way over his head in this fight. HE was a great cruiserweight but he isn't going to beat vitali. He doesn't even look to be in great shape from those photos
He won't. I do hope Haye is watching. Gomez was a great at cruiserweight.
But Haye would probably say something to the effect of "Yes he beat a great cruiserweight, about 5 years after his prime, look at me, im young, im strong, at 220 im perfect, none of these heavyweights can take my power, the haymaker is a-comin, i'm comin for you Klitschkos."

The more photos I see of them together, the fewer rounds I think it's going to take for Vitali to stop Gomez.
Seriously fights like this happen and people wonder why boxing ratings are dropping in comparisons to mma but here's another reason why.
In UFC the fighters when they beat someone in the top tier in the division they IMMEDIATELY get a shot at the champion after maybe a fight and its a month by month basis.
In boxing someone can beat a top tier fighter and we'll have to wait maybe a year for them to get a shot.
Also the fact, that the UFC, has one belt per division! Tell me heavyweight boxing wouldnt be better with just one belt?
Any other weight class can have multiple belts but heavyweight boxing is failing lately, I say as punishment take all their belts and make a heavyweight tournament to crown the ONE heavyweight champion.
Ive looked on setanta's saturday listings and theirs no sign of this fight.:mad:
Ive read its going to be on ESPN Classic channel 442 on sky so it says on fightnews anyway 6pm eastern time think thats 10pm uk time.
I'm telling everyone if Gomez can counter Vitali right he has a real shot in this fight. He has to be in great shape in order to pull it off.
The Sam peter fight didnt really show us what Vitali has because Sam didnt make a fight of it this fight is tougher in my eyes.

Gomez was sweating heavily on the forehead seeing the massive size advantage of Vitali... Vitali politely wiped the sweat while thinking "this is the area where my jab will land all night"... ;D
