Both men are evenly matched physically,is Pep slick enough to beat Gomez?Remember in his prime, Gomez was very good.While losing to Sanchez,Pep wouldn't enjoy the height and reach advantages that Sanchez had.Who wins?

I really like Gomez, but Pep at his best was all-time top 5 at 126...Pep W 15

Gomez at 122 was awesome, but at 126 he was not as good. A bigger fighter, specially a great one, always, almost always beats a great and smaller foe. This fight is not an exception. Pep would have been to slick and too quick for Gomez, even though Gomez was a complete fighter.

Pep by decision.
