INDIO, Ca. -- Vernon Paris walks around with two bullets inside him and has survived a stabbing, too, so you wouldn't expect him to surrender in a ring.
But the fact that Paris got through 10 rounds at Fantasy Springs Casino Friday night was his only real accomplishment against menacing junior welterweight Frankie Gomez.
Gomez, who fights for Golden Boy Promotions and shares a birthday with Oscar De La Hoya, was a piece of nasty business against Paris.

The three judges all gave Gomez a 100-89 win, which means Paris didn't win a round.
