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.
