Gomez=Crazy! Accepts bout vs Cotto!

I like Cotto a lot. He's an awesome fighter and a nice, respectful, tough young man. However what would we all be saying if PBF decided to fight Gomez next? We are criticizing him for a return borefest with noneother than Oscar Delahoya, and yet THIS is okay? Fighting Alfonso Gomez is okay for Cotto? But Oscar is too easy for PBF? WTF?

A few years ago I said "I like Cotto, he's an exciting guy but I doubt he'll ever really make it."

Since then I've been turned into a fully fledged fan as I've witnessed the Perto Rican not just beat, but actually damage and near mutilate every opponent that has been in the Ring with him.
What a fighter!

As for this Gomez fight, well I don't blame either guy for taking the fight....
However there is one point I'd like to raise.
Roy Keane once said that to a large Club like Manchester UNited sometime sthe small clubs are most dangerous. Playing against Man U is the biggest day of the year and they will show up and play like Rael MADRID.

gOMEZ HAS HIS TIME IN THE SUN AGAINST cOTTO AND i WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED TO SEE HIM SHOW UP IN EXCELLENT CONDITION AND MAKE A REAL GO AT BEATING cOTTTO.
nOW i CANNOT ENVISAGE AN UPSET IN ANY WAY APART FROM mIGUEL HAVING HEART FAILURE IN mID RING FROM THE DEMANDS ON HIS HEART DUE TO THE BEATING HE WILL PUT ON gOMEZ IN THE LATE ROUNDS, BUT i DO THINK gOMEZ WILL BE UP FOR IT, ENOUGH TO MAKE IT ENTERTAINING AND WELL WORTH THE WATCH.

GOD DAMN CAPS LOCK BUTTON AGAIN!!!!!!

Quintana - Claim to fame was beating a prospect. Understandable that Cotto wanted to adjust to 147 tho
Urkal - Not impressed
Zab - After Baldi and Mayweather had already beaten him, Zab had the look of a beaten fighter.
Shane - Kudos....could argue that his best years are behind him but could argue that his win over Collazo proved he was close to being the fighter he once was. I actually picked Shane to win so repsect to Cotto for winning.

And now he's fighting a reality TV star.

I don't have a problem with his opposition.

Paulie has proven to be better than people gave him credit for at the time when the fight was signed.

Quintana was his first fight at 147, and was coming off an upset victory.

Urkal was a mandatory who Cotto had to fight to keep his belt.

Zab was a replacement. Remember, Cotto was ready to fight Margarito, but Margarito backed out and decided to fight Williams. Cotto needed a replacement, and Zab was a worthy choice.

Mosley certainly proved that while he's old, he's still a very good fighter.

Cotto is coming off two very physical and tough fights. I have no problem with him fighting Gomez. I don't see Gomez winning, but he's not a complete stiff either. I've seen guys choose much worse opponents for easy wins than Cotto is doing here with Gomez.

My post was a wind up :)

Well apart from the last part....i detest reality tv stars getting world title shots on the back of their appeal to the mainstream audience.

ThaNKS Danny, some of them may help, the problem however is it turns itself on and off withoiut me noticing. If I hit the space bar sometimes it turns on Caps. Its the computer at work so I'm not too bothered about fixing it!

Im not saying Gomez will win but don't count him out Gomez can fight and is'nt scared of a war this could be a good fight.

;D Im saying that this fight going to be an ABUSE , Gomez dont have a defense for Cotto these guy like to receive a lot of shots , he is going suicide with Cotto .... i dont want say this like a joke , but we saw these Gomez fighting , he go to front all the time but taking a lot of punches, Cotto will take him out of the road..... YEAP ...... 8)

gomez is a tough tough fighter, i don't think cotto stops him, if he does it's in the late rounds

Not only will he stop him, he will stop him early and brutally.
I haven't been the biggest cotto fan, because i still feel that i haven't seen the most from cotto. This last fight with Mosley made me a believer.
If you look at the way cotto is whoopin on his opponents i can't see Alfonso Gomez going far from his own stool without tasting the canvas. I mean, he nuetralized the speed of pual mag, he put a beat down on zab, and most impressive to me was beating Mosley who i believe is one of the most intelligent fighters right now. He may of lost some of his spice, due to age, but he is very very smart.

I WILL give alfonso credit where credit is due. He aint scared. He aint PBF, he aint Sergio Mora, this boy wants to throw down. And "thrown down" he will get

Could we see an UPSET?????

Gomez is not a heavy hitter.
He is way out of his league here just like Manfredo was to Calzaghe and Mora would have been to Taylor.

Cotto is not a fast finisher so I think the fight will go about 4 rounds.
;)

My only issue with this fight is if Cotto takes Gomez too lightly and doesn't get up for this fight. After fighting Judah and Mosley, you can hardly blame Cotto for not being motivated for this fight as he's definetely fighting lower skilled fighter then he's use to. Cotto should would handedly but Gomez is quite durable. I just hope that Cotto doesn't slack in his preperation...

On a side note...ODH vs PBF? >:mad It should be Cotto vs PBF! This fight MUST HAPPEN!

If someone fights someone who we feel is out of their league, they are "crazy".. otherwise they are just fighting "bums".

So far out of that season of the Contender, as far as the big names go, Sergio Mora is a F****** VAGINA.. look at the guys Manfredo has fought, Calzaghe/Lacy.. Gomez fought Gatti/Tackie/Cotto.. Mora backed down from a title fight from Taylor.. Granted these are money fights, but they are still stepping in the ring with solid opposition, and i know that Gatti/Tackie are not the toughest, but Gomez wants to fight the best and has constantly said it.. The guy has earned to be where he is, although i don't think he deserved this shot just yet.. by no means is he crazy though.

:appl:....Well said..the guy is out there doing what he needs to and taking his best shot at it..win or lose he is going for it....I can name a few champions who should take que from Gomez....Cough...Kermit..Cough...Cintron..Cough Cough

The public execution of Saddam caused a bit of a stir but the same thing is going to happen here . . . . Difference is people are paying to see this 1 .

RIP Gomez

it could be intresting, gomez is pretty good, and i think cotto wants to stay active and have decent`ish fights instead of waiting around for ages for the big fights.
