wiganboxer · Post by **wiganboxer** » 30 May 2007, 18:03

I have got to say one ov my fav fighters is Michael Gomez is all action style and hes shear aggresion in the ring and heart of a lion won alot of fans in the late 90s. Hes fight with Alex Arthur back in 2003 was 5 brutal rounds in 1 of the best british fights i have ever seen well a few weeks bak he made is ring return after 18 months out now personally i would love to see him win titles again but can he do it? what do u all think? and also who would u like to see Gomez fight?

Add Comments please.

I was always hard to know whether Gomez's poor permormances were down to him being shot or just lack of preparation.

Personally I thought Gomez was shot before the Arthur fight but he proved me wrong.

Hopefully he physically has enough left, is in the gym and mentally focussed.

If that is the case he can hopefully still have a say at domestic level

It all depends on if the promoter or the bookies are offering the best payday.

i think if gomez can get some good wins (6 or 7) plenty of rounds i think he could give thaxton, limond, earl, a run for there money even a rematch with mcdonagh would be good also i think he,ll enjoy his self alot more not having to kill his self to make weight good luck to him i say

he looked okay, just okay, against Thorpe but it was his first fight back. Hopefuly be able to have a chat with him on Sunday, find out what his intentions are and try to gauge how things are going. I know VIP are hoping to keep him busy and get him some decent fights down the line.

He's fighting in Wigan on the open air June bill btw.

Michael was a gritty, tough bastard but limited, and I'm not going to say anymore than that WALES because he might be sat next to us on Sunday!

No, he had the heart, and a great sombrero, I'd like to see him back....

His fight with Arthur is probably one of my fav fights of all time. Okay, its not a technical masterclass, but it was the whole package that I enjoyed. All the scotish fans singing "who the f*** hell are you" and booing during his ringwalk, yet he just stopped dead in his tracks looked up and down the arena and took it all in.

I knew he was fighting in my home town but didnt no it was a open air show. I no its at robin park arena.

Looking forward to see what Sean Crompton can do in the pro game hes had no amateur fights u no hes had a few unlicensed fights but he is very tough so is first few fights he should get by on is toughness its when he steps up in class then we will have to see anyways with him being from wigan hope he does well cant wait for the show thanks for the info wales mate.

open show means 'the doors are open to the public'

ie not a black tie/dinner show

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 31 May 2007, 08:08

For some reason I thought it was to be held outdoors. Ah well, either way, a good show.

I think the allocation of tickets has been taken up by the boxers - so you'll need to beg, borrow, or steal one. Sure that was mentioned on a different thread.

Rung robink park arena up there will be tickets on sale on the day it starts in the afternoon they said get there early to avoid disapointment either way looks like me and a few of the mates can enjoy a sunday afternoon/evening of quality boxing and a nice few pints really looking forward to this 1 now.

Has he called out McDonagh yet, id like to see a rematch and anyway whats happend to McDonagh? thought it would be him getting fights and exposer after he beat Gomez

harrygreb · Post by **harrygreb** » 01 Jun 2007, 05:31

gomez will find it tough to recapture what he had at his best - guts and tremendous will to win.

DAVE2005 · Post by **DAVE2005** » 01 Jun 2007, 07:26

i've watched sean crompton a few times at the unlicesened boxing,and he looked very raw.although he did look strong.He'll have to be matched very carefully if hes planning on making a career in the pro game

sweetscience · Post by **sweetscience** » 01 Jun 2007, 07:50

is sean crompton the lad who has been on secondsout a few times, and trains at rimmers gym with brian rose and gomez

if so, he is very very raw (to saw the least)

i think you defo need some amatuer pedigree to turn over whether its just 10 fights or so, these unlicensed shows are just for bums

I think Steve @ VIP wants to ensure Mikes last hurrah is managed sensibly. I expect him to have another 3 or 4 fights before moving up in class really.

Yes, I can see the sense in that

DAVE2005 · Post by **DAVE2005** » 01 Jun 2007, 14:42

i wouldn't say they were bums,alot of the lads that fight there are in love with the sport but realise they aint good enough to cut it in the pro game and it keeps them fit and puts a few quid in there pocket

Wales · Post by **Wales** » 04 Jun 2007, 03:37

Mike was at a boxing doo yesterday, says he hopes to fight in June, then all going well again in July and then maybe a title shot of some description in September. He also mentioned he'd like to fight Alex Arthur again. Personally I think he's way off the mark with that one, but it shows he still wants it.

As a side the trailer for the movie about his life was shown, could be a very interesting film. Mike is played by "Lip from shameless" (sorry dont know his real name without looking it up). For anyone who hasnt seen the trailer it's to be posted on Mikes web site soon.... The Film's called "GOMEZ" (up all night thinking of that one

)

Michael Gomez back again!
