Can Gomez beat Burns?

Gomez is always up for every major fight he's involved in. Just because he's 'up' for a fight doesn't mean that any of the things I mentioned above are false or that his skills will somehow return for the night. Heart and desire are things that Michael has always had going for him. That is the main reason Gomez is still such a big draw.

But I really can't pick out one of the points I made above as not being a fact..

Personally I would have Burns a massive favourite in this fight..

(But hey Fenster, if Burns does lose the egg will take a long time to clean off of my face....)

Gomez will be fucked after four or five rounds. All Burns has to do is stay out of trouble till then. I do like to watch Gomez fights though even though he's a pale shadow etc.

Personally, I think that Gomez does have a reasonable chance of succeeding at this, and here's why.

Despite the fact his last big win was in '04 against Kirakosyan, Gomez does have power, and had very entertaining bouts both against Khan and Johanneson, and will still have the stamina to fight for 6-8 rounds, and will be hoping it doesn't go beyond then to be honest.

In Alex Arthur and Carl Johanneson, both of Ricky's defeats have come against domestic fighters who pack a bit of a punch, and I would suggest that perhaps he'll have a few punches that will trouble Burns.

Gomez has got no chance at all, have you seen the bloke recently i feel sorry for him his speech is really bad sounds punch drunk, the guy will be stopped.

2/1 Burns to win by stoppage has to be a decent bet.

(expect Gomez to win on PTS)

I think Gomez will see the end of this one... but will prob lose via UD

If he does get stopped then he would seriously need to think about packing in
