Khan-Gomez Confirmed

[PRIDE OF BOSTON]

It was obvious it wasn't gonna be Rees with Gomez and Burns mentioned.

BBC SPORT | Boxing | Khan to face Gomez in Birmingham


The build up will be fun.

But the fight will be over inside 6 mins. Fact.

so khans gone from a world title eliminator, to fighting michael gomez at an indoor arena

I assume this and is a tune up fight before amir goes onto to fight nate campbell at the end of the year??

If that fight were to happen and Campbell fought like he did against Diaz... Kahn doesn't have a shot.

Gomez biggest claim to fame is that he blew away Alex Arthur in 5 rounds, it was a competative fight and a joy to watch. However Gomez has never achieved those heights again and lost his last big fight against Johannessen who has recently lost to Kevin Mitchell. It will be exciting for a couple of rounds and Gomez will come in motivated but should not be a competitive fight if Khan is serious about becoming a world champion.

Yet another opponent whos coming off a bad k.o loss. Atleast Rees was coming off a loss at world level but this is silly .

Everytime I see Gomez he is getting badly kncoked out by some bum and thats not an exageration . Poor fight . Kahn should be in with better

[No Contest]

I'm think if Gomez comes into this fight well prepared and no bullshit out of the ring gets in the way, he should do alot better than some think. He most likely will get outboxed, but he has a decent chin and good offense, so it should be a good fight to watch. I give Gomez a shot at least.

[Tam Seddon]

Ill tell you what, this Geez can hit a lot harder than Limond and if he can shit Khan up early, you never no. But its unlikely, Im backing Khan by stoppage here, but Gomez is a hard bastard and will bring the fight.

[killersheep]

I like when Gomez said: "I'm going to be in his face before the first round begins."

I interpret that as when the ref says touch 'em up Gomez gives Khan a full force uppercut.

Gomes will come to fight but will slow down very fast and Khan should stop him in 4.Khan will have to be sensible in first round cause Gomez can punch.

theres your fight summed up completely.

As long as khan doesnt make the mistake of trying to fight gomez on the inside early on he should wear him down through the middle period of the fight and eventually outwork, outbox and completely dominate an ageing gomez.

But ive not seen khan fight on the outside early on in a contest once yet and if he does attempt to make gomez an easy nights work he`ll get hit with more than he has ever been hit with before.

I remember pundits claiming a certain ricky hatton would have no problems beating jon thaxton in 2001 when they fought, look what a war that turned out to be all because thaxton got his tactics in the early stage of the fight spot on and forced the better boxer to fight his fight!

[Violent Demise]

Gomez is shot. Con will win easy

[donnydarkoIRL]

People often reitirate "it depends which Michael Gomez shows up."

Well both Gomez's are crazy and both will get beat by Kahn

[Fatsandman]

Don't see the campbell - khan fight happening this year. Warren has never been too eager to put his fighters in too deep (check out Calzaghe's record and Hatton's when Frank had him for proof of Warrens eagerness to avoid dangerous fights)

[Pugilistic]

What a Joke.
