Alfonso Gomez Interview - "That Which Does Not Kill Alfonso"

[KING •]

RYAN BATES: Alfonso, I want to start by saying something that I've been saying on the record, and I'll say it directly to you: You may have lost the fight, but you didn't lose the war. You stood in there, you went toe-to-toe with the champion, Miguel Cotto. The night didn't go your way, but I think your stock went way up. And frankly, I was far more impressed with your performance than I was with Kermit Cintron's on the featured undercard. Cintron had it taken to him by Antonio Margarito, but when he got put down, he stayed down. You went down, and got back up. And for that I give you nothing but respect and admiration, I thought it was a valiant performance.

ALFONSO GOMEZ: Thank you. Thank you very much.

RYAN: What have been the repercussions of this fight with your career?

GOMEZ: I don't think anything bad came with it. I stood in there and fought, and I guess I just didn't feel like myself that night. He's definitely a good champion, a good fighter, he's undefeated, and I wish him nothing but the best in his next fight. But I'm gonna come back stronger, and more effective. I got some things to work on and I'll do it, and I think we'll see more victories and get another title shot.

Is that even a compliment really?

^^^^^

Lol, well it wasn't meant to be mean, but I can't imagine that made him feel any better about his performance.

So because he went down and got back up, the interviewer thought Gomez' performance was better than Cintron's? Doesn't make sense, at least Cintron managed to win a round.

RYAN: What about what you could have done better?

GOMEZ: I think I could have avoided more punches, of not moving my head, or blocking or whatever. I was just trying to... I dunno...

^^^I found that part funny.

[KING •]

Damn dude - go easy on him! Geeze.

[Easy-E]

Sso Ryan Bates is gay for Alfonso Gomez...

[Silencers]

I like Gomez as a person, but he was outclassed by Cotto. I didn't think his performance was better than Cintron's at all. I really don't know why, but the part that I quoted made me laugh. I'm not trying to be on his case or anything, I'm just stating my opinion.

[DeTomaso]

I think Alfonso should go for Dancing with the Stars.
Boxing is not in the cards for him.
