Gomez Says He is The Most Skilled Klitschko Ever Faced

[Steak]

Gomez is a solid fighter. one of the technically best at HW. he will definately give Vitali a much harder time than Sam Peter did.

problems? well, his chin is questionable, and like many Cuban fighters his performance is going to depend a lot on what kind of shape hes in. and I dont think he goes to the body enough to be able to have much success against Vitali.

but hes pretty good. His dominance of Virchis wasnt TOO surprising, but he should get credit for it all the same. McCall actually gave him a pretty rough fight in the rematch, which was surprising considering how old McCall is. but McCall even at his age isnt too bad a fighter himself. I would favour McCall over Sam Peter, actually.

I think Gomez will gave Vitali a good fight, but eventually hes gonna get cracked, and its going to quickly go downhill from there.

heres his last fight against Virchis.

Why do you say Gomez chin is "questionable"? As far as I know he's never been down in a fight (he was out on his feet but never went down in that one fight he lost by TKO).

Gomez easily won the second McCall fight, old Oliver never gave him a "rough fight" at all.

His shape has been less than perfect in the past, but from all reports he's highly motivated for this fight.

McCall started catching up to him down the stretch. Im not saying it was in any way controversial, but he gave Gomez his hardest fight since his loss to Yan Diaz, easily.

and yes Gomez's chin is question, he got knocked out by Yanqui Diaz for cryin out loud.

those dont look like super duper punches, do they? dont give 'he didnt go down', he was in la la land.

Im crossing my fingers, hoping that Gomez comes in really good shape to this fight. I mean, whens the last time Boxing has been on regular ESPN? thats really rare.

You shoudn't judge a fighter's chin by one fight. If in 45 fights Gomez has never been down, what does that say about his chin? He's been in with strong punchers like McCall, Virchis, etc.

And no, JC Gomez dominated the entire McCall II fight. The old guy was confused by and had no answers for JC's slick southpaw style, from the beginning to the end of the fight.

Gomez has got no chance.

Gomez will do much better than Vitali's last victim but eventually he'll become ANOTHER victim.....

I agree. Danny Williams was totally robbed in that fight with VK:

1. Danny Williams was not hurt. He was so confident that he was beating Vitali that he was practicing dance moves all over the ring.

2. He fell on the cavass 4 times because he was laughing so hard at how weak Vitali was.

3. That red stuff all over his face and ring was hotsauce, not blood. Williams was so confident he was eating chicken wings between rounds.

4. The ref saved Vitali from further damaging his hands off of Williams indestructible chin.

5. Vitali's camp paid off the commission to make it count as a TKO win for him, and Williams had no objection because he is already the all knowing unquestionable ruler of the Universe.

hahahahahahahahahahahahahah

Look, I never said JC has no skill, he is a highly skilled HW, but how can he compare to Byrd. You are talking about his fights with Virchis and MCCall????Wtf?? Those guys wouldn't have touched Byrd. Let's be real. Byrd was a champion who operated on a world class level and fought ALL the top heavies for a half decade. Stop forgetting about the past, the skills these two guys have displayed in the PRO ranks vs top competition are in completly different leagues. Stop it.

I liked the part where he said that 'Lennox Lewis was just a big guy'

What a complete lack of respect for one of the best Heavyweights of all time.

Chris Byrd is/was a very skilled boxer, there's no doubt about that. But I think you're going overboard about him. Prior to his fight with Ibeabuchi, he was just beating journeymen. In his next two big fights after the Ike bout, he was soundly outboxed by the Klitschkos'. He went on to win against David Tua, which was impressive, but Tua always lacked some fundamentals, which was shown in his fights with Rahman, Lewis, Fres Oquendo and Oleg Maskaev. His next big win came against an old Holyfield. Holyfield actually finished that fight strongly. It was a good perforance by Byrd, but it was an old Holyfield.

He then wins a controversial decision against Oquendo [who is not looked upon as anymore than a decent fighter], draws with Andrew Golota, who although skilled, usually cracks in big fights, earns a spilt decision win over Jameel McCline [who is not a top heavyweight], then beats Williamson in a competitive fight before losing to Klitschko again.
Don't get me wrong, Byrd was a very skilled fighter who I respect because of the balls he had doing what he did, but you're overrating him IMO. Gomez is as skilled.
