Gomez back in January?
By Matt Richardson
Fresh off an October win over Luciano Perez, 147 lb. "Contender" star Alfonso Gomez will likely return to the ring in January in Texas. "Hopefully, in January," Gomez told Fightnews last week. "They told me that there's a possibility that I can fight in January and be the main event of the card. They haven't told me where or against who. There's talks of maybe in Texas." At this point in his career Gomez is seeking to better establish his name within the boxing community. One of the ways he can do this is to start fighting out of the 'Contender' realm and by fighting guys the boxing public knows. "So far my manager (Gary Gittlesohn) and I are just trying to get a fight with already known names so we can start getting our name out there with the real boxing world and eventually start getting the big money fights," explained Gomez. "First we're going to start with fighters who already have a name," he said. "For example there's talks of maybe Antonio Diaz or Juan Carlos Rubio. Maybe a fight with one of those guys."
