Ted the Bull Interviews Alfonso Gomez

I had a chance to catch up with Alfonso Gomez who is getting ready for his big fight with Champion Miguel Cotto on April 12. Here is what he had to say.
The Bull: I have to tell you your match up with Cotto is one of those fights where it is hard to root against either fighter. Both of you guys are true gentlemen who always give 100%, are respectful, and don’t engage in trash talk or false hype. Why have you avoided that part of the game?
Gomez: It’s part of my culture. Mexicans are taught to be humble and respectful. I also had those kind of values instilled in me as I grew up. It’s just the way I am. Cotto and I look at this as a business and that’s how we approach it. There is no need for the insults.
