Comments Thread For: Saul Alvarez's Trainer Confirms Gomez as 9/17 Foe

[nycsmooth]

I was hoping Alvaez was fighting in MX again, better for him w/out the CA taxes...I thought he was moving along well a few yrs ago w/Zabala and AllStar Boxing had him til GBP stole him...never did hear a result of the law suit. Anybody???

like i said,nobody is claiming he's pound for pound anything,not even top ten or top 20.

He's a world champion, that's enough to expect more from him than a fight against Gomez. No disrespect for Alfonso, he seems a nice guy, but he's not a LMW and doesn't deserves a chance for the world title.

What happened to the super-card Schaeffer promised everyone? Mayweather-Ortiz is exceptional. Alvarez-Gomez and Morales-Crolla are terrible. They are two Televisa-type main events, not HBO PPV fights.

wow

This is disappointing.

Why not Lara, Trout, Konecny, Bundrage, Dzinziruk, Martirosyan, Williams, etc?

Gomez is a likable guy and a decent boxer, but he's not qualified for another world title shot.

cause he's a fake world champ....lara under golden boy they cryin lara got robbed..why not let him fight saul......gomez is a welterweight...fake a$$ risin star

1.5 mill ppv buys easily

Another overmatched, smaller opponet!!!

I please spare me the he is only 20 bull****, dude needs to step it up.

This is getting embarrasing!!!

Yes, who also isn't even much of a WW puncher forget 154lb ****er so he won't be able to capitalize of Canelo's lack of head movement or give him anything to think about if he makes a mistake. Canelo will be able to do what he wants in there until he is either able to stop him or Gomez can find a way to survive 12.

stop hating on the kid

why ya'll hating on this kid...look at all the big names in the sport and tell me what big name they fought when they were 20??? so stop hating for now, he'll get to big names soon enough when he's ready. you don't like his fights don't watch them problem solve douches

He is a world champion now, regardless of age has to be held to a higher standard. If he wants to take an easy road and pad his record he should just drop his belt so no one could bash him.

another non-154 lbs mismatch for the fake champ taking up another hbo date. why doesn't golden boy reward lara with a shot at the fake champ canelo? golden boy promotions and hbo are both garbage, no wonder greenberg was fired.

this is nice... get through Gomez first, then your mandatory Vanes Martirosyan will be ready
