I was watching some old fights during the day and I came across a documentary called "Las Batallas de Wilfredo Gomez".
Its a documentary of Wilfredo Gomez life in and out side the ring. I learn that before the Salvador Sanchez fight, he was hanging out, going to parties, drinking,ect,ect. He got married and went on a cruise and the fight should have been postponed, but 25 days before the fight and 30 pounds overweight, he recieves a call from his promoter Don King stating and saying to him, that he needed to get back tht the fight was on and it was bein televise in the US.
So Gomez came back to PR to train with 25 days left for the fight. He struggle so badly to make weight that he only ate 1 meal in days and had to run in the Vegas desert to shred the extra weight. He was so weak, he could barely run to lose the extra pounds. And that fight was a same day weight in fight.
Now after learning all this, how can anyone give Sanchez the credit of beating Gomez, if he beat him in those conditions? I mean, thats even worst tha DLH vs Pacquiao. Probably Sanchez would had beaten Gomez anyways, that dude was no joke, but to give him credit for beating gomez in those conditions is ridiculous
This thread will probably turn into a Mexico sucks, PR are cry babies and all kind of insults from each side. But this is not meant to cause a flame war or anything. Its just my oservation on the matter, wich is kind of ridiculous situation to make a fighter, fight in those conditions!!
