Comments Thread For: Golden Boy VP Disgusted, Upset with Frankie Gomez

[Aztekkas]

Leo didn't miss weight. And ppl bringing up PBC, the reason thus fight was cancelled is this mither****ers is 7 lbs over weight. That's inexcusable. It's excessive. It shows zero effort.

He said he wasn't good enough(regarding ability), weight was never part of his statement. It may be inexcusable but how many PBC fighters have missed weight in their last few events?

Shoulda let him fight. Just give like 70% of his purse to soto

you can't have 140 lbers outweighing other 140 lbers by 20 lbs in the ring. guys can die in there. that's too much of an advantage among such small guys.

do you want to reward the guy who comes in overweight? yes, he loses money, but he still has a gigantic advantage in weight.

remember gatti vs joey gamache?


gomez could have hydrated 15 lbs and been a super middleweight. soto isn't a tiny guy, but he had a robust career as a FW and SFW

here's what can happen when a guy rehydrates up a couple of weight classes. gamache never fought again. if ht eifght had gone longer, who knows what could have happened.

They wanted him to take Soto WBC Silver betl & WBO NABO belt that will put the kid in line for a world title shot in fall.. No point in fighting him now if you beat him his still keep his belts

If ever PBC makes their own belts, I wonder how their weight class system would work.

"Ladies and gentlemen, damas y caballeros.. The Light Welterweight to Welterweight champion and depending on how lazy training camp went... Super welterweight PBC champion of the world... "

apparently the pbc titles that are being created will be for the * classic weights from yesteryear. Anything else will be a catchweight....

he is'nt good enough to sign with haymon

youre funny kid. Haymons kids arent all that either. Some are good, some arent. end of story.

This fight is exactly what I thought of when I read posters saying they should fight anyway. If a guy is going to take on this big of a challenge in fighting a heavier fighter, he has to know way ahead of time, not the day before the fight.

huger difference between 1 or 2 lbs and frikkin 7 lbs. im not excusing any of these guys but what gomez did was straight not give a ****.

[dirty fingers]

I'm glad Golden Boy took a stand against this shit. Haymon would have told him it's ok and rewarded him with a title shot later on.

FML...my first day out of a boxing coma and now this. I was looking forward to this and thought Gomez had gotten his stuff together. Sigh...well, time for another Novacaine shot, make it a double.
