Comments Thread For: Alfonso Gomez To Replace Chavez on March 19 Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

As we reported last week, Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. will no longer fight on March 19 in Chiapas, Mexico. Chavez will head directly to a title fight with WBC middleweight champion Sebastian Zbik on June 4. According to Fernando Beltran, head of Zanfer Promotions, welterweight contender Alfonso Gomez (22-4, 11KOs) is the new headliner. The opponent for Gomez has not been determined. In the scheduled co-feature, WBA junior flyweight champion Roman 'Chocolatito' Gonzalez will make the first defense of his title against former world champion Manuel "Chango" Vargas.

Good to see Gomez is still sticking around. Hope he can get a few more big wins before we retires.

I like Gomez, always have, he is a talented and gutsy fighter.

But headlining against a TBA is a bit much

Best of luck to him.

He going straight to a title fight but hes going to cancel 2weeks before the fight! This guy pulls out every other fight!! He's a joke !! Retire Jr, its not like you have the respect for your fans or the sport!

Chavez Jr is a joke and what I don't get is Why did god take Diego corrales, Arturo Gatti and Edwin Valero from us but Gomez is still alive and boxing, lol j/k. Anyways how is he headlining and what Big wins does Gomez have, I remember how bad Cotto embarrassed him

[GTL]

zbik would batter him.. thats y.. its no coincidence.. ive only seen one of his fights.. hes pretty explosive and has decent pop.. i dont know what his record is tho

[HitBattousai]

Gomez said as of a few days ago that the injury to his left elbow hasn't healed fully yet, and that he would try for a fight in May after some more rehab. So unless something has changed since then, this article is a bit off.

Canelo vs Gomez would definately be a good fight but it won't happen due to the Top Rank vs Golden Boy feud
