LOL @ Gomi not punching hard
EVILYOSHIDA,
Please do us all a favor and shut the fuck up.Thanks.
Gracie but rear naked choke, after an entertaining fight. Gomi is no joke but he will fizzle and Ralph will catch him.
LOL@GOMI BEING BORING = EXPOSING COMPLETE IGNORANCE
Gunjin is correct
SA
Gomi has had his boring fights (like every fighter) but he is no way a boring fighter.
Gomi/Mishima
Gomi/Brennan
Gomi/Etrl
Gomi/Kuwabara
Gomi/Hansen
those were all fucking wars (with the excepting on the one sided beating Gomi put on Etrl).
Gomi would KO Ralph.
my comments on Gomi are true. The guy has great ground control and a great chin. But that guy has some weak ass punches... that's for sure. Just watch the last fight. Most of his wins are decisions, he can't finish.
I remember when Gomi kept on fighting with a broken jaw agianst ryan bow.. and he still won. Tough tough guy.
9 out of 14 wins are decision.
the other wins are TKO with punches, with the ref stopping the fight.
his G N P style is much less exciting than sudo Sakurai, sato or sakuraba. Relative to other top japanese fighters he's not exciting or entertaining at all.
EvilYoshida-
Answer my question. Which Gomi fights have you seen.
SA
Gomi/Mishima
Gomi/Costa
Gomi/some skiinny brazilian guy in VTJ 99
GOmi/ Bow
Dude gomi represents the style of MMA with positioning and ground control first, submission later. This can be partly blamed on shooto's judging system but whatever.
Contrast this w/ flying armbar/triangle etc. Tell me that Gomi is exciting? There are tons of fighters who fight like Gomi, it just so happens that gomi is one of the best at it.
Funny. This is the same crap people were saying about Ralph before he fought Mishima. Gomi will not have an easy time with Ralph. Ralph would have finished Mishima if it wasn't for the round ending.
He beat Mishima soundly standing and on the ground. That is why Japanese judges gave Ralph the unanimous decision.
In the second round of BJ v Gomi, BJ broke Gomi's right cheek bone and he just shook it off.
He is one bad mo fo.............
EY,
You've seen four Gomi fights. Let's take a look at them...
Gomi/Mishima. A great fight, with Gomi destroying Mishima with punches in round 2.
Gomi/Costa. A slaughter. Entertaining, I guess, but a mismatch.
Gomi/Eduardo. Pretty dull first round, then Gomi beat the shit out of him for all of round 2 and then choked him in round 3.
Gomi/Bow. Yeah, this one was boring.
So how is it that you claim Gomi is a boring fighter?
Gomi went through a stretch where he was boring. His early fights and his fights in the last two years have been damn good, however.
Gomi also hits very, very hard.
I'm pretty baffled how you came to the conclusions you did.
Also, the fact that Gomi was able to KO Mishima standing, while Ralph did not, helps justify the power Gomi's got in his hands.

waddup.
Sorry but I think a lot of people misunderstood my post about Gomi being boring. The fights weren't that boring but I was talking about his fight style. I dont' like GNP fighters. I like fighers that go for the submission, are constantly active. I meant that relative to other japanese fighters like Sakurai, Sudo, sakuraba, Imanari etc. his fighting style is boring and not as exciting. I hope that clears it up.
And the weak punches thing just came from the fact that he rained down 100's of punches on Costa and it didn't even faze him. If that was Kid Yamamoto, Costa would have been out with just a few of his shots.
Maybe, maybe not. Costa may have a chin like Gomi's. Even still, comparing anyone's punching power to Kid's isn't really that fair. Kid's punches are freakishly powerful. Gomi hits hard, but not unusually hard, like Kid. But still, he hits hard, to be redundant.
Would you say Fedor has weak punches because he landed dozens of shots on Minotauro without KOing him?
Thanks for clearing up the boring thing, though. Saying you're not a fan of Gomi's GnP style is a lot different than calling him "boring as fuck."
When I was interviewing Gomi before ROTR4 in the studio, his punches for the camera were looking very good. The freaky thing was the sound his elbows and bones were making each punch. It was like a huge crunch or crack!
Weird!
TTT for Gomi.
