Professional career

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]

Frankie 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 2012, Frankie 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 of 2016. Gomez put on a dominant performance, winning all 10 rounds on all 3 judges' scorecards.[17]
