Gomez
Calls Out Other Welterweights
(JUN 11) “It’s important to prove yourself the best at home before
moving up. To be the best, you have to beat the best” said Joe Gomez
(10-1-1 4KO’s) of Bloomfield, NM who escaladed with the TKO win.
This past Saturday at Sky Ute Casino in Ignacio, CO, local favorite Joe
Gomez took on veteran Rene Francisco Herrera (26-17-0 19KO’s) of El
Paso, TX. It was a scheduled eight-rounder at 152 lbs, but only went
four rounds. Herrera threw in the towel between the fourth and fifth
bell claiming that blood from a cut on his right eyebrow was preventing
him from going on.
Herrera tossing in the towel surprised the crowd. The first round went
to Gomez who had an effective jab; the second went to Gomez when a
straight right turned the tables for him. Gomez dominated the third
round keeping Herrera at arms length. The heat was on in the fourth when
Herrera kept Gomez in the ropes with straight lefts and right hooks.
After the fight Gomez said, “It was good experience for me. Fighting
guys with this kind of experience is what I need.” He said he’d like to
clean up the welterweight division at home, which he says would mean
fighting Joaquin Zamora, Hector Munoz and Ray Sanchez III.
