Yeah if Alvarez is ever gonna be anything in this sport he's gonna need to beat guys like Gomez first. If Saul wins easilt he's the real deal, if he struggles of loses then maybe he's not.
Watched this young warrior against Jose Cotto. Good fighter. He has power and love the red hair on top- his Irish lineage is sneaking through. Nonetheless, my horse has been and remains Alfonso Gomez. ALvarez lacks the quality experience and rounds that Alfonso has put in. ALfonso has been hit harder by Manfredo, Khaddour, Brinkley, Feliciano, and Karass.
ALfonso will school him and the midsection looked wide open. Alvarez left hook will not connect on Alfonso to much avail, but Alfonso could drop the kid with body shot.
Top Rank vs Golden Boy. Leave the contestant talk to the announcers as it fills air time. ALfonso is a REAL TIME fighter. Just check his credentials- forget that some rounds aired on tv.
Been a Gomez fan since I watched the first season of the Contender a little while ago. Just seemed like a good cat and the upset win in the first episode was great. I'd be pulling for him to beat Alvarez.
Atleast they are matching Alvarez against opponents he should be facing that are tough like Gomez. I mean awhile ago, someone was talking about a Mayweather Jr./Alvarez fight, what a total mismatch that would have been.
Gomez has experience on his side.In gomez last few fights,He has looked
great.I would be suprised if they put alvarez with him.But i would love
to see it.
