Amir Khan will be defending his commonwealth lightweight championship this coming Saturday at the 10000 seater sell out Indoor Arena in Birmingham. Khan’s current and temporary trainer has given Khan a warning not to get into a brawl with Gomez. Powell, Khan’s current trainer, has said “Gomez is going to bring a special kind of intensity to the fight. We all know how Michael Gomez likes to fight and we are fully prepared for what he’s going to bring”.
Gomez thinks that a win against Khan will bring a lot more into his already extraordinary life, after having been told that he is finished for the last 10 years of his life, which we will have a film released about in November. Gomez said “But a big fight like this is what I need, I will shock everybody. I fought Alex Arthur (in 2003), who was an unbeaten prospect, and destroyed him”. Gomez has only lost 8 of his past 43 fights, and his movie will show these along with his stopping of Alex Arthur in the 5th round of their fight.
This is going to be Khan’s first fight with Powell, his new trainer, since his break from Oliver Harrison in June. Khan stands undefeated in is 17 fights, and thinks than Gomez will be a challenge to beat. “Gomez will walk forward into my punches and I expect it to be an explosive fight” said Khan on Saturday’s upcoming fight.
Will Khan’s new trainer be enough for him to stay undefeated?
Has Gomez got what it takes, or is he just shouting his mouth off?
Amir why be bothered all it shows is hes scared
