Why is JCC Jr fighting Alfonso Gomez?

[Twako]

.. when their last fights are two divisions apart. is there a catchweight here?

[ИATAS]

because this is the two biggest mexican stars fighting eachother this is 200 years of mexican independence in the ring the swagger of this fight cannot be measured the pure awesomeness is so great people sitting ringside will vomit skittles and m & m's

I think hes just fighting gomez to see how he will look in a fight with cotto.. using gomez as a measure stick........ nothing more nothing less.....

Yup I agree with this! If Chavez struggles against a fighter cotto utterly dominated then yeah don't expect to see Chavez vs cotto anytime soon.
