Most of these guys are delusional. NBC has probably fed most of these guys' ego's. The only kids who actually like these dudes are 8 year old kids who watch the reality TV show.

I need to think of an idea for an avatar to direct all my hatred to Gomez now, after reading that **** I realized that he actually deserves it.

hm,....I'll get back to you about that one.

Wow, you guys are the biggest haters in the world......damn. Nobody is saying Gomez is a world beater or will win a major belt but the kid has worked his ass off and has made a good showing for himself.

It's easy to sit back in a computer chair and TALK about things but this kid is actually doing it. I know he's nothing special as far as talent is concerned, especially with his style and his lack of punching power but he's out there doing it.

**** I don't care what vehicle I use to get my name across I would do it as well. Weather it be the olympics or the contender series, you got to do what you got to do.

He's not ****y or dissrepectful, on the contrary, he's humble and has a great work ethic and I respect that. Two types of people in this world, those who talk about it and those who do it. And those that talk about it, HATE on the ones doing it. lol

Dude, I just went to Gomez's website and laughed my ****ing ass off at this. Thought you might take a look.



I've tried to highlight most of the hilarity. Now I really want to see this kid get crushed, "being used to the full force wars"? What the **** does this kid know of war? Barrera/Morales, Hagler/Hearns, those were ****ing wars!

I don't get it?

i agree... you know there were over 30 guys on that show between the two seasons and most of them aint doing crap... i think gomez made himself a star by being a good guy, working hard and being an exciting fighter...

Gomez 1st caught my eye when he beat Manfredo in the contender, and I have wanted to see him fight since then, Gatti looked llike his reflews were all gone

I never said Gomez was ****y or disrespectful, he's a nice, personable, humble kid I even said that in my first post in this thread. I just don't see this kid lasting, he's a featherfisted reality TV star in a division of heavy hitters who are real Contenders. And I'm sorry but we're just not oging to see eye to eye about the reality TV thing, a guy who breaks into boxing through a reality TV show without having paid his dues like all other fighters will never have my respect.

Gomez beat Manfredo, Brinkley and Khaddour on a reality TV show and all of a sudden he's getting big pay days and HBO exposure. Meanwhile the guys who deserve it are busting their ass on ESPN every Wednesday and Friday night, week in week out for little to no money at all.

Bottomline is this, I respect your opinion and I hope you respect mine. But Gomez is in for a rude awakening if he takes this "Contender" **** too seriously.

But I don't see how you can blame them. What are they supposed to do? Go to the promoter and say, 'hey you don't have to pay me more for being on a TV show, just keep paying me what I made before.'

Gomez, and any other fighter for that matter, are worth what a promoter is willing to pay them to fight. No more and no less.
