Sanches-Gomez

[Rocky Balboa]

Just watched the fight on youtube. Great fight or what? Made for compelling viewing. Obviously, there is no preaise high enough for Salvador; he was always able to remain calm under pressure, remain focused etc.

However, Wilfredo Gomez must be given a lof of credit. For he was pressing the action non-stop, even when one eye was virtually shut and puffed up, & the other was closing fast.

Remarkable performance by Sanches though. He showed great courage to get up from the knock-down in the 1st. A lot of fighter's may have been oveerwhelemed, but not Salvador.

Both were taking hard shots, but Sanches seemed to have more variety in his work, and his punches did more damage than Gomez' did.

I was impressed by Wilfredo's courage though. The right hand which virtually left Gomez helpless was a beautiful shot. Nice body-shots by Salvador just before that, too.

Brilliant fight. They certainly "don't make them like that anymore".
