i was looking his fight on boxrec.com and shows he fought Sakad Petchyindee for the WBC Banthaweight title.
but Sakad only had 2 fights prior to fighting for the title!!
does anybody know anything about it???
I came across this topic a few hours ago after loading Gomez fights on BaltazarBrothersII on youtube. I noticed he fought a Thai and was even more intrigued when I saw that he traveled to Thailand to fight him. There must have been some incentive for doing this financially and it turns out that Sakad Petchyindee is a legendary Muay Thai kickboxer considered one of the greatest of all-time with over 300 fights in there with the likes of the UK's Donnie Green. I am thinking the offer was made to the WBC for this special attraction fight and Team Gomez accepted. Again I just started reading up on this topic and a few questions keep popping up.
Is the Sakad Petchyindee that fought Gomez the same person who is considered the great Muay Thai fighter?
Why did the WBC rank a Muay Thai practitioner with only two recorded fights?
I also have a channel called JunglesOfThailand where I will be showcasing Thai Boxers. Swing by in about two weeks to see some of the newest boxing talent on the scene.

Maybe he had a lenghty amatuer carreer.
