was Gomez a better opponant than Jennings?

Definitely Jennings.
Gomez was a disgrace, he didn't mount any offense. Jennings displayed some good handspeed and decent footwork, but he wasn't strong or accurate enough to get the job done against Cotto.

Jennings actually showed handspeed in that fight, unlike Gomez did against Cotto. Gomez didn't show anything.

You sure? Gomez tried to **** with Cotto(terrible gameplan). Jennings tried to box and move. I gotta watch the Jennings fight again but it seemed like Cotto delivered more shots to the body on Gomez than Jennings.

He did. Gomez got pummeled with body shots.

It seemed Gomez tried to put up more of a fight than Jennings to me. Jennings was moving all night(although that's what had to do).

Jennings tried to move and box Cotto from the first round. Gomez went straight toe to toe and got crushed.

good thread. i got Jennings. Jennings is very good fighter.

Jennings, I was suprised he actually got a few jabs through that tight guard of Cotto and was able to land a couple of right hands as well. Cotto was simply playing with Gomez, I wouldnt say the Jennings fight was that competitive but it was definitely more competitive than the Gomez fight

Gomez was sick before the fight, but he went ahead with the fight anyway.
