good results for Gomez. I'm proud of the kid. I hope he doesn't sit in the amateurs too long and waste his talents. Meaning I don't want him to adapt totally to the amateur style, however, he needs to stick around and participate in international competitions where from time to time he will face a good style. Plus at 17 there is no rush. What I'm saying is he needs to stay as an amatuer vying for the London Olympics, but not to fight too often and develop the amatuerish style.

Egidijus Kavaliauskas? I hope he gave his parents hell for that one.
