Alfonso Gomez: "I Could've Done So Much More..."

pretty honest assessment i think. he probably could have done more, and will do more if he gets another title shot or big fight. don't get me wrong. cotto is clearly on another level. 10 times out of 10 cotto beats gomez convincingly. but gomez looked glove-shy in there. his wins over tackie and gatti are good wins. you can't discredit him for those wins, regardless of where those guys were in their careers.

pretty sure your not a successful professional boxer on the level of Alfonso Gomez, but you're missing the point Gomez might be a little long in the tooth but you callin him a retard is ridiculous. Did I call him a retard? I said he looked like a tard falling down without even getting hit. His balance was beyond horrible. You're just on my dick, butthead. Have drink while you're down there. :bukkake:

How the fuck would you know, dumbass? Do you know me? pretty sure your not a successful professional boxer on the level of Alfonso Gomez, but you're missing the point Gomez might be a little long in the tooth but you callin him a retard is ridiculous.

pathetic... neither of you could hang with Gomez for even a round let alone not get beat to a pulp against someone like Cotto. why dont you show some respect to real boxers, how old are you guys 12? How the fuck would you know, dumbass? Do you know me?

Gomez got a shot at a title way before he was ready for it and paid the price. They stopped him before he could get completely ruined, so he'll be back. I thought goin in he coulda done more too but Miguel wasn't havin it.

I'm confident I could beat the fuck out of Alfonso Gomez This guy needs to stay away from gloves and boxing rings What's Gomez going to work on in the gym? Staying upright? Not falling down without even getting hit? I'm sorry but he made himself look like one of Jerry's Kids. It will be hard not to think of Alfonso Gomez as a tard in the future. Plus, he's gonna feel like an even bigger bitch when he watches the Margarito fight. This is only going to get worse. pathetic... neither of you could hang with Gomez for even a round let alone not get beat to a pulp against someone like Cotto. why dont you show some respect to real boxers, how old are you guys 12?

Gomez CAN fight. Ben Tackie may be a journeyman but he isnt a push over. Who even gave Gomez a chance against Gatti? he got a chance to make it to the next level, but got a taste of reality.

rematch gomez almost had him!!!:ugh: Bottom line, Alfonso Gomez is a bum...

The problem with Gomez is that he's a narcisistic dreamer, the way he portrayed himself in his buildup show to the fight is just stupid, I was thinking he'd kiss his own ass if he could. I saw a more humble Shane Mosley after Cotto beat him in a close fight and he was actually a former champ and ranked p4p. Gomez needs to get it together and people need to give him attention when he deserves it, not when he asks for it. It won't only make him a better fighter, it'll make him a better person he wasnt being narcisistic, he was being smart. who ever's idea it was to market him in that manner, in that method is pretty business savy because he wouldnt be talked about in the manner he is now. its obvious he is not on the level of the top 10 welters which is why he needs to do something to keep the light on him even if its overpromising and under delivering. everyone now feels bad for him and wants see him win his next fight. it worked out good for him.

I'd still like to see Gomez fight again... By Derek Bonnett: A comprehensive defeat can do a lot as far as putting things into perspective for a professional prizefighter – even when that fighter was as big of an underdog as Alfonso Gomez was against Miguel Cotto in their WBA world championship bout on April 12 in Atlantic City. Leading up to the bout, Gomez, now 18-4-2 (8), appeared confident and unimpressed by the atmosphere of his first world championship bout. Many experts even figured the tough guy from The Contender season one would be able to absorb what the champion had to offer and secure a moral victory by lasting the distance. This was not the case. However, the vanquished Gomez should not be written off as a fighter. Both Paulie Malinaggi and Carlos Quintana have rebounded nicely from their defeats to Cotto and both currently wear title belts around their waists. While their styles vary greatly from Gomez’, he should not be denied the opportunity to rebuild. “He was the Miguel Cotto I expected,” Gomez conceded. “Strong, hard punching, in good shape. I was more surprised with what I put on the table. I expected more from me because I know I could have done so much more. I have to get back to the gym to fix some faults that I saw in the video of the fight. ” The disappointment of a wasted opportunity hangs heavily in Gomez’ words. All the more, this leads me to suppose Alfonso was not just talking the talk before the bout; he truly believed in himself and that makes this defeat that much more difficult to swallow. There is a bright side here. Alfonso Gomez now has big fight experience against a man who is arguably among the top five fighters in the world today; he fought for the world’s welterweight title. Sometimes, defeat is just the thing to get the phone ringing in the management office. If you haven’t been paying attention, there are a number of fighters at 147 in need of rebuilding or further establishing themselves. One or two just might underestimate Gomez, who won’t be twenty-eight until this October. “I’m sure if there is a good offer to get right back into the big pot, my team and I would take it. Whatever sounds right, we’ll take,” Gomez admitted. “But right now, I’m just taking a nice rest.” Rest he shall, but names like Cintron, Berto, and Chavez Jr. shouldn’t be prevented from entering his thoughts as he ponders the next move. Gomez also offered his thoughts about the upcoming rematch between Quintana and Paul Williams on June 7 at The Mohegan Sun in Connecticut. “Well, coming from a loss, and thinking like a person who will come back from this loss, I think maybe Paul Williams learned a lesson and will develop a better plan.” Gomez closed with some words of advice and support for his friend Sergio Mora who will be meeting Vernon Forrest for a portion of the junior middleweight crown on the same June 7 card. “Train hard, believe in yourself, and give it all you have. I believe he can do it and I’m rooting for him also.” Belief in oneself may not always be enough to become crowned a champion, but without it, one would never find himself with the opportunity to share the ring with one.

can he beat anybody at 154? Sure. A guy with a losing record, or a European. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

He lasted way longer than I thought he would if that matters. Alfonso. That was a mix of him being more durable than I thought as well as Cotto sacrificing a lamb and then re sacrificing the corpse six times. Never pay again for live sex! | Hot girls doing naughty stuff for free! | Chat for free!

can he beat anybody at 154?

u gotta feel sorry for da guy he got worked lol

Gomez just can't compete with Cotto.

its hard to really hate this guy he is just an all round nice cat, But damn he must accept that Cotto is just on another level and that beating the Arturo Gatti he beat, wasnt really Gatti, infact that fight IMO gave Gomez a false sense of selfworth

Quintana and Malignaggi both showed something in their fights with Gomez. Gomez showed that he can take a beating.
