    I cant understand why many people hate gomez. I mean if you were basically a journeyman boxer and had one chance at fame like he did why not milk it.
    I think gomez is fun to watch, even though he plods around the ring and doesnt hit very hard at least he stands and trades shots. I think he may give gatti a shock but if gatis even a litle like he was then gattis power will hurt gomez. Gatti late round ko.

      I think people hate that more attention is paid to Gomez than to, say your average journeyman fighter, more so than actually hating the man himself. People commented last year of it being ridiculous that he was brought back as a guest on Season 2 as if he were a superstar. What should Gomez say - "No, I'm not really that good and don't want the attention?"

      Oddly enough, people have hated on Gatti for similar reasons, with HBO giving him preferential treatment through the years. The difference, though, is that Gatti believes most of the press clippings, and let that ultimate warrior bull**** go to his head, to the point of ruining his career.

          I can almost guarantee someone is getting knocked out in this fight. Gomez will almost always go toe to toe, and we all know how Gatti is once he gets hit. He cant help but go to war .

            Gomez is going to win, gatti is shot. The weakest person with glass hands on this forum probably could be the gatti that is now

              I think those fights with ward killed gatti. I heard somewhere that he cant remember the second fight.

                  I didn't catch much of the contender 2nd series, i saw that sergio mora was invited back but i didn.t see gomes. Unless i missed something on that series where he came across really bad then i wouldn't understand why anyone would hate gomes, he seems a really humble down to earth kinda guy, still think he'll get whipped though.
                  Mora on the other hand does kinda come across as an arrogant prick, in the 2nd series he was sat next to sugar ray stroking his chin and calling fights like he was telling leonard something he didn't know.
                  I don't know how anyone can compare gatti to a reality tv star, that ultimate warrior "bull****" wasn't carefull edited over 5 rounds to win Ring fight of the year numerous times. I also doubt wether the chairman/president of HBO or its shareholders are sentimental types, and any "preferential" treatment given to gatti is because be it ticket sales or tv ratings gatti sells, simple as.
