I see the evolved version of Manny(after Morales 2) picking Gomez apart because he would be too quick and his in and out movement too good, but before that I see Gomez winning more often than not, Manny just didn't have enough dimensions to his game, and he was too easy to hit when facing a guy who can punch like W. Gomez.
Gomez had amazing foot work, great lateral movements. Something I liked is that when he had his opponent hurt he still was attacking from angles to destroy it. Not the type of hand speed like a Floyd, but great lateral movements, not to mention his deadly body attack. This is the type of fight that could be remembered for ever due to the type of boxers they are (Gomez was). I certainly feel lot of respect for both of them.
