Why, Sanchez died too soon, right before his rematch with Gomez..
How much did the sudden death of Salvador Sanchez (Mexican featherweight champion) affect you? (PR-MEX never have rematchs)
It affected me a great deal, both emotionally and psychologically. Salvador was only 23 years old when he passed away. My God that's young, he was just starting to live his life. I felt really bad for his family. Although we were ring rivals we had a lot of respect for each other. The other thing that bothered me was that I would never be able to avenge my loss. I really blew it the first time around. I did not have the preparation nor the conditioning for that fight. I was doing everything that you are not supposed do a few weeks before the fight, to no one's fault but my own.
