Amateur National Champion at age 17 beating National Golden Gloves winner José Benavidez of Phoenix.[5] At the 2009 World Amateur Boxing Championships he went onto win a silver medal after losing to Olympic bronze medalist Roniel Iglesias.[6]

Professional career

Considered America's premiere amateur boxer when he turned Pro,[7] 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."[8][9]

Frankie won his Pro Debut against veteran Clayvonne Howard by 3rd round TKO.[10] His third TKO victim was the Nigerian Akeem Akinbode, the fight took place on FSN's Fight Night Club.[11]

In his first fight with trainer Abel Sanchez,[12] Gómez beat the veteran Jason Davis by first round K.O.[13]

In July 2011, Frankie beat Khadaphi Proctor, the bout was televised on TeleFutura.[14]
