"Famoso Gomez, darting in and out with quick jabs, scored an upset unanimous 10 round decision over former world bantamweight champion Rafael Herrera at the Olympic. Gomez, 125, piled up points with series of fast punches to sweep past Herrera, 124 3/4. The former champ was able to land only a handful of solid blows against the moving Gomez." -Pasadena Star-News
