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]

Gomez put on a dominant performance, winning all 10 rounds on all 3 judges' scorecards.[17]
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] On February 28, 2018, the Twitter account for boxing podcast "The Boxing Guru" posted a picture of an overweight man purported to be Frankie Gomez.[20] Gomez has not fought since 2016, and is listed as "inactive" on BoxRec.[21]
