Gomez had some of the best footwork and upper-body movement of any fighter in the world at the time.
He was a monster and more highly regarded than sanchez or Pedroza by a considerably margin.
Hence why him losing to Sanchez in the manner he did was such a shock.
When he fought in Puerto Rico,
he was given free license by the refs to foul to his heart's content.
The ending of his fight with Zarate is on youtube.
Gomez hits Zarate while he down--
and commits how many other fouls in the space of a few seconds?
.
Doesn't mean he also wasn't exceptionally skillful.
And he was allowed to by so-called 'referees.'
