I know for a fact these two use to spar quite a bit, and Gomez dominated him nearly all the time.

But that was at least two/three years ago, i would of likes Gomez to have one more fight before taking this as Carl has been fighting at a better level.

But lads i know say Gomez is in tremendous shape and is focused 100%. I take Gomez 6th rund ko.

I know Johanneson never says funk all and Gomez is a bit of a loon but judging by their demeanor there's only one winner... and it's not the quiet guy.

[Howlin Mad Missy]

just posted a thread on UK Boxing...Carl has been sparring with Gary Reid who comes forward winging hooks like Gomez..not saying he hits like Gomez.

Should be a good fight.

Is it 9 pm there now?

Yup, eyes down look in folks, cause the build-up to the fight is taking place right now. I'm thinking we have Fewkes v Reid first...and then the main event on later, but as I'm here anyway, I'll send you a RBR on this one too.

These guys are fighting out of lightweight, and although Fewkes is 15-0, with only 2 knockouts however. Gary Reid last lost out against AJose Olusegun for the commonwealth title, but has been up against a lot of tough opponents. Fight time here is up next, over 8 rounds.
