Wilfredo Gomez title bout????

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.

Also Wilfredo went to Thailand to fight that dude....Something that most champs wouldnt do. wilfredo was a bad mf, he bangedkok in bangkok.

Thats pretty fucken crazy. But look at the guys that dude with the 2-0 record beat 1978-01-14 Hisami Mizuno 122 23-7-0 Briram, Thailand W KO 6 10 1977-11-10 Juan Antonio López 40-6-0 Bangkok, Thailand W PTS 10 10 Maybe he had a lenghty amatuer carreer. Edit: Nevermind thoses dudes were nobodies. BrownBomber is prabobly right.

probably tune ups or sparring sessions that went on his record as wins.

he also fought Julio Hernandez althought Hernandez record was 2-8 at the time of the title fight.
