The problem here is weight; I can't see Pep making 122 . At 126 or 130 this is a joke. Gomez wins at 122.

I think you're correct that Gomez wins at 122 because he was a strong, relentless beast at that weight. At 126 Pep outpoints him, but I don't think it's a rout. Gomez showed he could box at that weight late in his career, Pep was just better and Gomez didn't carry his power to 126
