I agree that Burns was much the better fighter last night, and was landing with fluency and accuracy making Gomez look pondering.
However, I thought the ref was justifiably on his back as Burns did seem to have his arms all over Gomez whenever they came close.
The one gripe I would have is that the first punch of the final flurry which did for Gomez looked well dodgy for me. Burns had his left forearm across Gomez' neck pushing it back, then held it there as he threw the biggest right he'd thrown all night. He'd already been warned for use of the forearm earlier in the fight as well, and it just brought the end forward a few minutes.
