GCB RING RAP - ISSUE # 7
Hello again fight fans, and welcome to the GCB Ring Rap. Venues all over the world continue to sell out as you fans flock to see the greatest in boxing today and tomorrow. Today we are going to look at the fights that took place on 3-1-1900. With many matches scheduled all over the globe there were a few that really got our attention. There were two big upsets and again one Draw that could really change how our predictions at the beginning of the year turn out.
First, we will begin with the Draw. When Luis Gomez of Mexico stepped in the ring many were ready to mark him off with the victory and move on to the next bout. Unfortunately, no one checked with Trailhorse, Dan Hodge about that. Hodge caught everyone’s attention, especially Gomez. While most were truly very impressed with Hodge’s performance, many question the judging. This is the second time so far this year that the Judging of a fight was brought into question.
Gomez commented after the disappointing outcome, “If I only had one more round, I could have taken him!” To which Hodge later responded, “Right, couldn’t we all.” We still have a feeling that you should not count Gomez out quite yet.
Our next fight that caught us by surprise took place in Detroit Michigan. Club Circuit fighter, Jerry Willis stepped into the ring with the intimidating Angel “of Death” Sanchez. Sanchez with his 300 pound frame, out weighed Willis by over sixty pounds and was a guaranteed victor. We had told you before that with Angel’s size he could destroy all opponents, but if someone could make it six rounds with him, he would get exhausted and struggle to just stay in the match. Jerry Willis proved us wrong.
It only took him five rounds to wear Sanchez out! With one glancing blow, Sanchez found himself laying flat on his back as Willis’s hand was raised in victory. Many analyst feel that it wasn’t as much the punch that floored him as the lack of oxygen. It will remain to be seen if Sanchez will ever make it in the GCB. If he ever gets himself into proper condition, he will be unbeatable, but until then, who knows?
While the first two fights were definitely upsets, no one could have predicted the outcome of Ireland’s Russell Gwynn’s match with Journeyman Charlie Norkus. There has been a couple of Judging questions in the past, but without a doubt this was one of the most controversial bouts thus far in the GCB.
Ever since his signing, Gwynn has been considered the one to watch for future titles. His ring presence as well as abilities have him at the top of everyone’s list. Yet unfortunately he will begin his GCB career off with a 1-1 record. He was DQ’d in the first round of his 3-1-1900 match for head butting Norkus. Norkus was unable to continue after the incident and quickly the referee stopped the match giving Charlie the win.
While in the eyes of most, this loss is different than other losses, we will have to wait and see if the Ranking Committee will agree. This loss could effect where he comes out at the end of the year!
Well Fight Fans, that’s all we have for today. We will see you soon as we move forward into fight history. Have a good night and always remember keep your hands up and keep moving!
