yea but we must not forget life outside of Boxing affects life in the ring for a fighter, it isn't an excuse but it was told that Gomez didn't think too highly about Sanchez, it was his 1st fight out of his natural weight where he was a KO king so his ability was yet to be determined at that weight and he took Sanchez lightly by drinking and partying the week before the fight..
if you know Gomez you know what kind of bad ass he was, he was a role model in every way when it came to his sport but he was a wild dude tho, he slept on Sanchez and it cst him but we must remember not only did he sleep on him he also had moved up to that weight for the 1st time, against a guy who can fight like Sanchez that ain't easy to do..
this life style has effected many puerto rican boxers. Camacho and perhaps even Cotto. But Cotto has also had some other unlucky situations.
