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.

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.
