I know exactly what you mean man... Emotions start flowing your heart is into it.

You know I gotta be honest here and I've mentioned this before IMO, Gomez should have been DQ'd for hitting Zarate while he was down. I mean honestly Gomez was hitting Zarate and was beating him to the punch BUT the wining punch came while Zarates knee was on the canvas.

Whoa! what a fight this was man.. I mean they really beat the hell out of eachother in that fight and that fwocken 3rd round is truly amazing. Pintor had Gomez hurt several times but Gomezs heart wouldn't fail him this time around and he weathered the storm and would comeback and hurt Pintor in return. I've chatted with people and they've told me that the low blows that Gomez landed were intentional. I think different I mean a low blows a low blow I've only seen a handful of intentional low blows the one Gomez landed to me it did not look intentional. I think what gave Gomez the win was that he invested in the body early on in the fight and was landing his shots while Pintor made most damage around the face.
That 14th round was just brilliant and what an ending to such a great fight.
