This saturday Vitali K. will fight Gomez in Germany. The fight will be shown on ESPN. I'm picking Vitali by KO.
Viltali wins inside 5
JCG is an all time great, but at Cruiserweight and that was a long time ago. Vitali is too tall
yep gotta go with Vitali by TKO. Is there KO's in boxing anymore?
Is this being shown on Sky or Setana anyone?
the usual klitschko win.....
nothing much for 3-4 rounds with vitali using his superior height and jab to win every round
he`ll step it up through 5-7 and begin to land clean right handers
come 9-10 gomez will either get pulled out by his corner or the ref will decide he has had enough!!
Was thinking the same thing but can't find it on the tv guide for Setanta, Sky Sports or Eurosport. Maybe Setanta will pull it out of their arse at the last minute again like they did with Marquez v Diaz.Quote:

It's ESPN with us Americans. I don't know where you Brits could get it. Sorry I couldn't be more of a help.
I am actually excited a world championship fight on ESPN on a Saturday and heavyweight's at that. I'm in shock.
I'm going with Vitali by mid to late round stoppage.
I think Gomez will make things interesting for the first 2-3 rounds but after that Vitali will takeover.
I am putting a 18% chance of vitali pulling out an injury mid fight. ;)
So if someone gives me 8 to 1 on Gomez I would take it. Anybody got a $5 spot?
Did you just say JCG is an ATG?Quote:

Dont Blink ;D
Should be interesting. Actually Gomez is possibly the third best fighter in the division after the Klitschkos, very talented guy only a single loss in 46 fights.
Doubt he will beat Vitali though
Wonder if Haye is gonna watch to see how a good Cruiser goes v a Klit.
Klitschko will stop Gomez in about the 10th round.
I think Vitali scores an earlyish ko here before 7 at least!
But I maybe the only one hoping Gomez can pull the upset just to bring some more options to the top of the division, as the brothers will never fight a Gomez win may give as the opportunity to crown a Ring champ in the near future rather than once the Klitschko's are gone!
Gomez isnt all that, remember taking Dunstan for a weeks sparring in Hamburg. The 1st day He tried it with Dunstan and got sparked. Rest of the week Terry played and got an extra !000 Krona, He has been looked after. Klitshkos trainer is His ex Father in Law think He knows Him ;D
Gomez KO 1 !
;D
Vitali making fun of Gomez during presscon... :lolhaha:

;D
.
I think I've seen this before when Vitali was making fun of Samuel Peter... ;D
.
What's their height difference?
fearless prediction: Vitali before the 6th round.:cool:
Stupid,why give the guy incentive
edit:sorry. I give him incentive coz vitali likes to jab. Hehehe.
Saddoboxer, it's vitali vs peter.:-\
I know... I mean Vitali has this habit of making fun of his opponents during presscon and then beat them bad in the ring...Quote:

He won't. I do hope Haye is watching. Gomez was a great at cruiserweight.Quote:

The more photos I see of them together, the fewer rounds I think it's going to take for Vitali to stop Gomez.
ouch. They realize the mismatch too?Quote:

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.
