So whats Going on with Jose Benavidez and Frankie Gomez? Any words?

[emily610]

Benavidez is scheduled to fight June 8th in Vegas, the night before Pacquiao/Bradley. He did injure his hand and have surgery...he sparred yesterday for the first time since having the cast off, and training is going well. His facebook is facebook.com/josebenavidezjr - we keep that updated with all that's going on with him.

His brother David is fighting in Phoenix on 4/21 as well.

So whats has happend with this 2? They have lost their hype.

They were been groom to be the next big thing and now they been fighting scrubs and neither has fought this year!

gomez has had numerous run ins with the law. recently he was caught with drugs

the rumor was that he was considering retiring after his goldenboy contract ran out. he does not love boxing


benavidez is always sparring with good fighters. that's where i've seen him look the best; in sparring on the internet with contenders, up and comers, champions.


i would liek to see him at least scheduled for something. the guys do need to take a rest as well. with a schedule like his there's a chance he has not taken a month from training for years.
