Alfonso Gomez headlines then Mendez vs. Barthelemy rematch on Fox Sports 1 7/9 & 7/10

[Hulk]

Good fights.

Gomez was just the better, busier and smarter fighter. I honestly felt paderes was very unimpressive for having 35 wins.

Diaz looked sharp and a future titlist or at least contender.

Hahaha. I agree about Diaz and wouldn't be surprised to see Robles standing somewhere very close to him. Robles is a gritty little fucker and relentless, I expected him to slow up but it never happened. That was a very good fight with Robles being a big part of the reason why.

What did you guys think about Diego De La Hoya?

Diego looked good and was finding openings well to land hard shots. Its still too early to tell exactly where he might end up. The guy he fought was tough and not much else.

When I saw where Paredes was from, I remembered that line about him having 35 wins and cracked up. That part of the world is noted for producing guys with gaudy records that can't fight. And Paredes can't fight a lick. Watch the fight and see how many times he throws a right hand and falls out because his balance is bad. Same thing if he throws two punches, his feet aren't right for the third, and the third punch tells when it comes to balance. He is too far on his front foot too often, so he can't close distance or counter.
Gomez shouldn't be misled by this fight. He fought a so-so amateur. The guy couldn't fight at all so he beat him. But he is very very shot. Both 'knockdowns' came because his balance was bad- he was reaching and his legs weren't enough for him. He is slapping every punch he throws, except his jab and he pokes with that.
