I agree with you that Vann was a little ahead of himself in jumping in, but Gomez had been shaken badly two or three times in the 5th and 6th rounds, and I was pretty sure that Vann thought that he was dragging Gomez out of a situation where he could have been seriously hurt.
I know that Gomez is famed for his comebacks, but I didn't see it happening in this one. From the third round onwards, Johanneson was taking over the fight, and Gomez's efforts weren't as good as they were earlier in the fight.
