This! What corruption pay the people off to "school" your fighter for six rounds but then quit three rounds later, what fuckin asinine logic is that

Gonzales just didn't want it after ricky was still there after the 7th

I do understand what a lot of you are saying, I don't know I just think he might have been able to carry on. It's tough to say really, I wouldn't mind watching it again.

I've no doubt he could have carried on, there's countless examples of fighters getting hurt and continuing on. Danny Williams got a last round KO with his shoulder hanging out of his socket ffs. Not everyone has that desire though, I think he was just tired (he'd only been 10 rounds once), and disheartened that when he went for the finish it didn't come and his opponent was happy to trade with him. He barely did anything in rounds 8 and 9, he looked totally spent.
