I know for a fact these two use to spar quite a bit, and Gomez dominated him nearly all the time.
But that was at least two/three years ago, i would of likes Gomez to have one more fight before taking this as Carl has been fighting at a better level.
But lads i know say Gomez is in tremendous shape and is focused 100%. I take Gomez 6th rund ko.
I know Johanneson never says funk all and Gomez is a bit of a loon but judging by their demeanor there's only one winner... and it's not the quiet guy.
3-Time SADDO PREDICTION COMP CHAMPION.
just posted a thread on UK Boxing...Carl has been sparring with Gary Reid who comes forward winging hooks like Gomez..not saying he hits like Gomez.
Should be a good fight.
Is it 9 pm there now?
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.
Yup, eyes down look in folks, cause the build-up to the fight is taking place right now. I'm thinking we have Fewkes v Reid first...and then the main event on later, but as I'm here anyway, I'll send you a RBR on this one too.Originally Posted by killersheep
