Jesús Francisco "Frankie" Gómez (born February 4, 1992) is an American former professional boxer. In 2010, Gómez signed with Oscar De La Hoya's[1] company Golden Boy Promotions.[2] Frankie was trained by five-time Trainer of the Year Freddie Roach.[3]

Amateur career

[edit]

Gomez began boxing as an 8-year old and had an outstanding amateur record of 120–8.[4] In 2007 he took the Junior Olympic National Championship and Gold at the Cadet World Championships in Baku, Azerbaijan.[5] Gómez won the U-17 2008 Cadet World Championships in the Light Welterweight division. In 2009 he became the U.S.A. Amateur National Champion at age 17 beating National Golden Gloves winner José Benavidez of Phoenix.[6] At the 2009 World Amateur Boxing Championships he went on to win a silver medal after losing to Olympic bronze medalist Roniel Iglesias.[7]

Professional career

[edit]

Considered America's premiere amateur boxer when he turned Pro,[8] Oscar De La Hoya said of Francisco "I've been watching his career closely for years, and Gómez is one of the best amateur boxers I've seen in a long time. He's (Gómez) a true blue chip prospect, and he has all the tools to become a world champion and a star in this game."[9][10]

Gomez won his pro debut against veteran Clayvonne Howard by 3rd-round TKO.[11] His third TKO victim was the Nigerian Akeem Akinbode, the fight took place on FSN's Fight Night Club.[12]

In his first fight with trainer Abel Sanchez,[13] Gómez beat the veteran Jason Davis by first round K.O.[14]

In July 2011, Gomez beat Khadaphi Proctor; the bout was televised on TeleFutura.[15]

In 2012, Gomez began training with famed boxing trainer Freddie Roach.[16] After several victories, Gomez faced his biggest opponent yet in veteran Mauricio Herrera on the undercard of Canelo Álvarez vs. Amir Khan in May 2016. Gomez put on a dominant performance, winning all 10 rounds on all 3 judges' scorecards.[17]

Inactivity

[edit]

In July 2016, Freddie Roach told BoxingScene.com that he had not seen Gomez in the gym for two months.[18] In January 2017, Roach stated that he had not seen Frankie Gomez since early fall of 2016.[19] Gomez has not fought since 2016, and is listed as "inactive" on BoxRec.[20]
