Burns v Gonzalez plus undercard

[boxing]

Even in the last two rounds Burns wasn't landing anything of note. I don't think he would've scored a stoppage if Gonzalez didn't quit.

[misterpunch]

the man of granite turns to butter in a few short rounds

[Black Sam Bellamy]

Even if it turns out to be a legit injury, I think there's 0% chance of rematch dont you ?

[youngrell]

That was quite possibly the most unsatisfactory end I've ever seen. Just as it was about to get interesting (tough) the guy does a bunk. He looked a million dollars for 7 rounds.

[jonnyyorkshu]

gonzalez quit,he didn't lose.

[misterpunch]

?

[lefty]

I dont think im the only one appalled by the way Gonzalez finished that.

[el_grande_mauro_mina]

Can't stand Burns - he is everything that is wrong with boxing.

Yeah yeah, I know it was Gonzalez who quit - bring in Broner and knock this
'champion' out once and for all.

was that aimed at me tubs?

Not particulary - why would I aim it at you?

I haven't like this fradulent reign for a long time now, Nelson coming
on here lauding it doesn't help. No offence but you don't come into it.

i was the one who brought up Broner,harsh calling Burns a fraud,limited but no fraud.PS Broner is everything wrong with boxing.

He isn't a fraud, his reign as a world champion is though.

Would he have been world champion if there wasn't 12 belts flying around? No

Is he a good solid, European level fighter? Yes, and he was damn lucky tonight.

Broner would knock out the real problem of boxing - champions who aren't world class. It is like Scotland winning one of 12 versions of the world cup and calling themselves 'world champions'.

[ShadrachSimmo]

Gonzalez shat it. That's how it appears. He may have broken his wrist but those last 2 rounds he barely threw anything he looked disheartened. Ach well burns escapes with his title. Just..

Perhaps he threw nothing because he was fighting with a broken wrist? To say Gonzales has no heart is such a knee jerk reaction. It's easier said than done fighting with a broken wrist.

Other fighters would have fought through a broken wrist esp when seemingly well ahead at the time.

12 belts? Stop being a cock.

[CiganoBoxer]

How can Burns celebrate winning like that ?
Burns had the c*nt punched out of him un till the other guy broke a limb hitting him at will for 7 rounds .
Bronner will slaughter Burns .

[Horse]

How can Burns celebrate winning like that ?

Because he kept his title. Why shouldn't he celebrate?

so IYO who are world champs?? (this should be great).

[Kilburn]

Gonzalez wasn't getting caught though...that's why there is such surprise

What you reckon pocket?

Damn I can hear "We close our eyes" being played ringside. That make up for any dodginess.

Total spin, I am pretty appaled.

It isn't Burn's fault Gonzo had no heart, but lets not pretend he had started working him over, because that is plain garbage from the SKY team

I agree, it was hardly a table-turning effort, more like the start of something that needed a "helluva lot" of seeing through.

What would you have him do after being in the brink of losing his title?

There is 11 world title sanctioning bodies out there today - I have just counted them, and thats the problem and that is why we have the likes of Ricky Burns calling himself 'world champion'.

[Kilburn]

Broner isn't even on the radar anymore.

But I am right - as usual!

I was one world sanctioning body out with my guess. The state of boxing today Keith - you might think it is great but I don't.

And what you know about boxing - you could write on the back of a stamp.

[markfightoptions]

Did someone trigger the well payed get out clause during the break.

[Horse]

Only four are regarded as world titles by most.

[lefty]

Lets be honest, its never gonna happen in a million years but who would like to see a rematch?

He's ranked 3 by BoxRec and The Ring Magazine. It doesn't matter how many belts there are. He got those ratings by boxing.
