ALFONZO GOMEZ had a BROKEN left hand from ROUND 2 ON!!!!

[Kball15]

Welterweight Alfonso Gomez (18-3-2, 8 KOs), who turned back a stiff challenge from Ben Tackie on Tuesday night, broke his left hand in the second round of a 10-round decision win and will be sidelined eight to 12 weeks, "Contender" promoter Jeff Wald told ESPN.com. "It's broken. It's not sprained or twisted. It's broken," Wald said. "He's going to have surgery. He fought this guy with a busted hand. That's what I call sucking it up." Gomez, the popular first-season "Contender" participant, was fighting for the first time since knocking Arturo Gatti into retirement in July. Wald is hopeful of making a deal with Top Rank's Bob Arum to match Gomez with Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. in late March, which will give Gomez plenty of time to heal.

Thats really incredible to me. He threw some wicket combinations even with the broken hand.

But it does make sense, since he couldnt hold Tackie off at all in the late rounds

That's ****in Gatti like Heart right there.

Alfonso Gomez is hands down the best fighter to come out of The Contender

Atlas ****** callling that fight...he was giving Tackie way too much credit IMO.....

Atlas ****** callling that fight...he was giving Tackie way too much credit IMO.....

He went way overboard with his analogies too. "Pressure can bend things. It can distort things. It can break things and that's what Tackie is doing...". Plus for some reason he kept referring to food throughout the fight. lol

he was giving eveybody to much credit, and wasnt giving AYALA NEARLY enough credit.

[Pugilistic™]

gomez is a warrior.

he is good for boxing

[THe TRiNiTY]

Atlas is an ass, most of the times. I don't hate the guy, but.. Yeah I pretty much hate the guy, from what I know of him.

Good for Gomez, he deserves a bigger fight now.

We dont agree on much, but I have to agree 100%. He is doing a lot better than Manfredo Jr and Mora (what a joke).

[American_Ninja]

I saw him injure his hand, he shook it, and went right back to jabbing.
I thought maybe he had a cramp. Of course Atlas was to busy running
his pie hole to have noticed. Mr. Scarface, needs to go.
Him and Kellerman should run away together.

nah he gave ayala plenty of credit....he gave him round 2 for gods sake...but overalll, he had it just like most of the press, mora up by 2 points....
