Chavez Jr vs Gomez
Middleweight Julio Cesar Chavez Jr. [42-0-1, 30] will face Alfonso Gomez [22-4-2, 11] in the main event of a Top Rank pay-per-view card. Chavez Jr. vs Gomez will face each other on December 4, 2010 at the Honda Center in Anaheim, Califonia. Chávez Jr (41-0-1, 30 KOs), of Culiacan, México, is the son of Mexico’s greatest fighter Julio César Chávez. Chavez Jr won the vacant WBC silver middleweight with a dominant 12-round unanimous decision over top-10 contender John Duddy (29-1, 18 KOs), on June 26 at the Alamodome in San Antonio. Chávez, the WBC’s No. 1 middleweight contender, won 10-round unanimous decisions over Luciano Cuello and Troy Rowland and stopped Jason LeHoullier in the first round. Making those four victories even more impressive is the fact that Chávez’s opponents had a combined record 98-4-1 when he defeated them. In Gomez, Chavez sees another rugged fighter and expects the fans to witness a great fight.
Gomez (22-4-2, 11 KOs), of Guadalajara, México, first gained international notoriety when he was featured in the reality series The Contender during the series’ debut season on NBC, 204-2005. Gomez won three of the four bouts he fought on The Contender, tagging unanimous decision losses on future world title challenger Peter Manfredo Jr, Ahmed Kaddour and Jesse Brinkley, a trio that boasted a combined record of 64-3 when he defeated them. Gomez, 29, enters this fight riding a four-bout winning streak, three by knockout. His last two victories are arguably his career-best, stopping two-time world champion Jose Luis Castillo in the fifth round in March and winning a technical decision against Jesus Soto-Karass last year. His biggest step up in class was a 2008 welterweight fight against Miguel Cotto, which saw Gomez dominated and stopped after several knockdowns. Gomez is moving up to junior middleweight to face a noticeably larger Chavez.
