Khan-Gomez Confirmed

[Master]

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.

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

Gomez is shot. Con will win easy

why is he a con?

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)

[Fatsandman]

Warrens a great promoter for his fighters but exasperating if you are a fan waiting for a decent 50/50 match up...

[Pugilistic]

What a Joke.

At first I thought this was Alfonzo Gomez, and I thought that it was a bit early but Khan would probably do the job anyways. Then I realized that Gomez is at 147 and I kind of had a laugh at myself.

As it is I have never heard of Michael Gomez and that's probably a good thing. Khan has no reason to rush. I don't think he needs to be fighting contenders or even fringe contenders as of yet.

He does need to step up the competition a little and last fight was a good start. They need to get guys who will do more then wilt in the face of Khan. They need to get some guys who aren't as good as Khan but have some sort of competitive fire and won't fall down in the 1st round. And as Saddo will tell you, his chin is going to have to be tested before he steps up because he's not fought anyone with any real power, he's been bigger then everyone he's stepped in with and sooner or later that has got to be addressed.
