Michael Gomez.....resspec!

[mojack]

I've got so much more respect for this guy after Saturday night than ever before.

He just kept on coming after Khan, and made the fight exciting to watch.

He took some big shots consectutively but still kept coming, either he's mentally insane or just a true champion. I reckon he would have gone 12 rounds if the ref didn't stop it for his safety.

He knocked Khan down to the canvas which I really didn't expect and I think has put a few questions over Khan's head with regards to his chin, defence and even punching power. My hat goes off to him and I would have liked for Gomez to get at least 8-9 rounds from the fight.

I would have liked to see a prime Gomez vs Khan, just to see how Khan could deal with the pressure fighting for 12 rounds.

I also think Khan is in no way ready for a WTF or even a world class fighter. Right now if he faught the likes of Katsidis he will be put on his ass.

Michael Gomez is the best thing that's happened to Khan so far.

if this was the gomez who beat arthur he would of beat khan, simple as that. he had him badly hurt twice. I actually thought it was a premature stoppage as well

Kahn has serious chin problems, and his defence in no way compensates for it at this point in his career to justify a world title shot

yeh i gained respect for him to

I can't see how people cannot give Gomez some respect...

Everyones mentioning the knockdown, you must all remember the rib shot Gomez gave Khan that clearly hurt him, so much he had to cover up below for the rest of the round. Can't remember what round it was.

I'm still on the fence with this, Gomez was taking too many shots. However, one part of me wanted the fight to go on because it was a great fight but the other half says that Khan had already won at that point, and Gomez was getting tired.

how long was left in the round mate? i forget now

maybe i was like you and just wanting to see more action, but i felt as though his head was still clear and gomez even remonstrates with the ref straight away when he steps in

Frank warrens plan didnt go the way he wanted it to they expected gomez to roll over and die but he put up the fight of his life.

Not sure....
Round 5 wasn't it.... i predicted a round 6 stoppage.
Gomez took 13 shots unanswered, fair play to him...but rewatching it I thought the ref could have left it a bit longer, afterall Gomez is a veteran.

it was the 4th, and being fair to Khan he held it together well and came back with a great flurry of head shots about 45 seconds after .... BUT as someone mentioned earlier .. if this had been the Gomez that beat Arthur then Khan would have lost IMO.
