Ricky Burns - Jose Gonzales saturday night fight chat thread

[armin]

I know we're not supposed to shit on fighers, takes guts even getting there and all that jazz but that was flat out cowardly Im afraid.

You dont quit a fight you're winning 7 - 2. He aint got no broken wrist.

Well it sounds better than my legs are gone and "fuck why is that guy still here"

Eddie Hearn - "he had the pressure of the country on his shoulders out there tonight".

Without mentioning the pressure of a promoter seeing his prize capture from Warren about to become a major loss maker.

Eddie got away with murder there. Frank thought he was going to bed happy at one point too

It was that unbelievable its not ridiculous to think there might be corruption involved..Ricky Burns at home against someone who was outclassing him .....Money, Bets, corrupt Judges as we saw in the fight before ..and we see time and time again ...Its not impossible the guy was whispered into his ear ... Did he even complain about the wrist during the fight?

[Beanz]

Gonzales tried to knock Burns out for 6 rounds. Why would he take the risk of beating the man he had been paid to quit against ? If he had bigger cojones he could make a big noise in the division. Power in both hands and good technique. There was no corruption.

Also how anybody can watch that and think that Burns would run from anybody is beyond me.

I don't know if he complained. I was not in his corner and my Spanish is rather pedestrian. Who cares if he was at home and getting outclassed early. Did you watch the fight or just put the tin foil hat on before it started? They had three judges from the States and an American ref.

I want to see screenshot/picture of the wrist

Alex Arthur was Just asked "would you fight with on with a broken wrist?' he said "I would of fought the rest of the fight with two broken wrists for a world title"

He's trying to save face by saying its his wrist. The tank was empty and he had two flat tires under him. And on top of that his wrist could be broken from landing those wide shots on the side of Ricky's titanium skull.I mean you could see that even in the seventh round where he gave his last ditch effort. You could tell he was spent went he walked to the corner and thoroughly discouraged.

Whether is wrist is broken or not is irrelevant. Just makes him look stupid.

Gonzalez was cruising the fight up untill the 7th where he fucked up Ricky... and Ricky managed to land his 1st punch of the fight..he didnt need anything in the tank to win ..just stay on his toes and jab with his good hand ...

It seems too stupid for me that any boxer in that situation would quit ...unless he was told somebody will kill his family if he don't quit ...or being a poor man could of took a bribe ...who knows

He had no legs after rd 7 under him. That was obvious to me and he most likely would have been stopped. He's a fringe contender that nobody has heard about with a 22/0 17 ko record and I'm sure they went for the Rtd instead of being tko'd. It was most likely a business decision.

Dude watch the fight, dudes legs were gone, has a bully type mentality, never been with a dude who took his best shots and was still coming. Take a bribe to throw a title fight that monetary wise is peanuts to winning a belt and becoming a star in a boxing crazed nation like puerto rico and making a shit ton of money...hmmmm.

[Freedom]

Ricky Burns has the heart and the mindset of a champion.

Gonzalez has long arms and he's well-schooled, but sometimes that's not enough.

In round 7, Gonzalez ran into the stone wall of Ricky Burns determination to win, and couldn't get through it.

...Or he shot his bolt looking for a knockout a couple of rounds earlier and was disheartened at not being able to take his opponent out. You could see his output declined significantly in the 8th and 9th, and his movement slowed considerably. He looked tired.

It's disappointing because he looked top class for the first 7 rounds, and we've seen so many fighters battle on through injuries to see out a win (if indeed he is injured). As in all walks of life though, when the going gets tough some grit their teeth and push on through, others look for the easy way out. Gonzalez took the easy option and I'm sure it's something he'll come to regret for an awfully long time.
