Alfonso Gomez vs Saul "Canelo" Alvarez is on according to Gomez.......

[uoykcuf]

Who did you pick in the Karass fight?

Didn't pick that one, I did see it live tho and I think I was rooting for Karass. So I guess I was wrong for rooting for wrong guy? Not sure that counts as a pick tho if I was rooting for one fighter over the other. But in this match-up I'd love to see Gomez pull off a huge upset but realistically speaking Alvarez is probably going to put a similar beatdown on Gomez that Cotto did.

I think people put a bit too much emphasis on the Cotto fight as the definitive fight to judge Gomez. He came into that fight with a broken knuckle on his right hand and after having a serious illness in the middle of his training camp that required him to be hospitalized, plus that was prime Cotto in there, who was an absolute monster. Alvarez shows promise but he's no prime Cotto yet. Gomez is a good technician, and most importantly he will actually come to win and throw punches unlike most of Canelo's opposition to this point. There won't be any bullets left in the chamber from him either way it goes.

This is the guy that looked like complete crap against Cotto. I also picked Gomez to beat shot Gatti and Castillo. My pickes on Gomez have all been right so far. I picked Cotto to win and Cotto brutalized him.

In defense of Gomez, Cotto was prime and Gomez wasn't nearly as good as he is now. Gomez has improved greatly, especially his pure boxing and counter punching.

Gomez is actually a pretty good fighter...B+ guy. I think that this will be Alvarez's toughest fight to date, he pulls out a decision win, no stoppage.

Anyway, I'm sure this'll have something to do with money since this will be on the Mayweather-Ortiz PPV but split site, so i doubt Goldenboy's budget could get them a great oppenent.

He'll look good on the biggest PPV this year & get more of a following, I'm sure that is Goldenboy's aim.

Yea, they went that way. I'll probably just sleep through that fight until the main event comes.

Im excited for ths fight. I expect Canelo to overpower Gomez in the end, but Gomez doesnt come in ready to lay down, hes there to fight.

I think Canelo stops him because of styles. Gomez will end up standing in front of Canelo in the later rounds and the size and strength of Canelo will be too much.

Possibly but Gomez has good boxing skills and will land a good deal on Alvarez too. I'm not so sure that Alvarez will be in "top form" coming into the last 3 or 4 rds to the point where he can just steam roll Gomez. Anything could happen though and it is definitely one that I'll be enjoying as long as it lasts.

Come on Canelo why another bum,Gomez loses everytime he steps up in class,this is worse then Ryan Rhodes,why not fight a live guy.I hope people arent buying into this padded record with an undeserved belt.
