“Training with coach Salvador Jaurequi is special because he knows me better than anyone,” said Gomez. “He pushes me hard every day and never lets me take shortcuts. This camp has been one of my best because we focused on sharpening my fundamentals, my conditioning, and my mindset. I’m hungry to prove I belong in this sport, and every day in the gym we’re working like there’s a world title on the line. We study opponents, we work on strategy, and we make sure I’m improving every fight. I’m still learning, but I’m getting better every time I step into the ring.”
