Can Alfonso Gomez upset Chavez?

Joey_Giardello15y ago

Gomez is geting very underratred he has beat peter manfredo at middleweight, so lightmiddle shouldnt be to much of a weight factor for him, also gomez is on a really good run , and chavez will be weak at lightmiddleweight! can gomez cause a upset?

Comments (14)

i doubt it. he cant take punishment This isn't a good thing necessarily, but taking punishment is something that Gomez can definitely do.

He has a decent shot as the most skilled boxer that Jr has faced to date and I believe he's faster of hand and foot. Jr has improved offensively under Roach, but his defense is still terrible so Gomez won't have any problems landing on him, it comes down to whether has can get Jr's respect enough to keep him at bay and if his own defense is good enough to evade Jr's shots while getting into his range.

if gomez had a chance to beat chavez, arum wouldn't have made the fight.

Not being that good is only Gomez's second biggest problem. The biggest problem is that he is way too small for Junior.

41 have tried 41 have failed. That's the problem for Gomez, there is no blueprint that exists on how to beat Chavez jr. All roads lead to Chavez. Unfortunately for Gomez, the road he's taking is a dead end. lol that was a classic :lol1::lol1::lol1:

Man I don't care if it's Gomez, Alvarez or Pee Wee Herman, I just want someone to rid boxing of this fake...
