Gomez Will Win this Fight

Alfonso G. had a couple tough breaks coming back from his last fight against Shawn Porter. He battled Porter throughout that fight but lost a close decision. Now you can see how Porter is dominating in the division. Gomez's toughest losses came against Cotto and Canelo. He has three to four good years to go. I take nothing away from Paredes, whom I have not seen fight, but if he thinks this is a name fighter whom he can beat, he thought wrong. He will be in the fight of his life.

I hope when Gomez wins, people give him the respect he deserves and a big money fight would be around the corner!! Good to see him back in the ring!!

Good luck,

Eddie G.

Parades is a title contender. His promotional company is high on him. This is a pretty good fight especially for $25 bucks.
