The Rivalry: Mexico vs. Puerto Rico

[CutMeMick]

I'm a white guy, but I grew up watching and in the gym with Mexican fighters. I still get emotional over Zarate vs Gomez...Viva Mexico!

Just wish they would have met both at 100%.

But hey no excuses, Gomez won and that's sometimes part of any sport.
An injury, sickness or whatever it may be you just gotta fight thru them somtimes.

I will say that I think Gomez got away with hitting guys while they were already down.
That I've seen and counted it's been in 5 different fights I've seen him hit guys while already down.
When I 1st noticed it was in the Zarate fight and then I did some searching got a hold of about 15 fighs of his and saw it again and again.
Of course I'm not saying Gomez career evolved around this so don't even go there just merely pointing out something I did some research on.
I think I did a thread on the subject of how referees handle something like this in the heat of a fight.

All in all though I have mad love and respect for PR fighters.
For those who have not seen some of these olders fights they are a must see for any boxing fan. Also you gotta check out Bazooka: The battles of Wilfredo Gomez a great documentary.
