    It was Calzaghe week, and now it's Hamed week. Who wins and why?

    Gomez fouls Hamed out of the contest. The beating Gomez would put him under would steal Hamed's heart, IMO. One criticism I always had of Hamed was that he could be too pensive at times, unwilling to throw combos or let his hands go in favour of feigning fear or indulging in some other similarly-insipid display of bravado. Gomez storms onto his guard, rocks him early, & then bruises, belts, knuckles & low-blows a Hamed who winds up doing more complaining to the referee than fighting back out of the battle.

    Gomez' aggression would play right into Hamed's hands and the Prince would blast him out with one of those counter bombs.

    Gomez would be far & away Hamed's best win, if he did it.

    Gomez the featherweight is far more vulnerable than Gomez the Junior Feather... this is hardly a guaranteed "W" for him... I could just as easily see him knocked loopy by one of Hamed's bombs

    Pick 'em. I'd lean towards Hamed as I would with him in against most any crouching, come forward, hittable guy.

    Its a pick em fight.

    Virtually its gonna depend on who can take the others powershots better.

    122 Gomez I would take. But at 126 I'm not so sure.
