	Sanchez, cool and calm as always in defending his title, almost scored a first-round knockout in a wild fight that more than lived up to expectations. He had Gomez down in the opening 30 seconds with a stunning left hook-right cross combination thrown with his back to the ropes. Sanchez then pulverized the cheekbone, which swelled gradually throughout the fight until Gomez's right eye was almost hidden.

	Yet Gomez, who had a streak of 32 straight knockout victories - including 14 in title bouts - after starting his pro career with a draw in 1974, somehow survived the opening round and even went back on the attack at the start of the second.

	Throughout the fight there were fierce toe-to-toe exchanges as Sanchez, who earned a reputation for an iron chin in stopping Danny (Little Red) Lopez twice last year, did not back away from the smaller man.
