Abril, Broner and Vasquez all have a shorter reach.

What was with Burns tonight though? He showed zero head movement, zero lateral movement all night. He was bolt upright. Stiff as a board.
Great display of heart and a hell of a chin on Burns but my did he have a lucky escape.

Chelo is underrated, I said in a previous thread I'm picking him to beat Burns. I didn't take into account the lack of heart displayed by Chelo.

Chelo gave as good as he got and going to war in that 7th round took everything out of him. It was pointless and he expended waaaaaaaay too much energy going for finish. He needs to pace himself better so he's not wasting energy when things are going his way.

I still don't see it with Ricky.
Good fighter? Sure, but that's as far as it goes for me. He's too stiff and got lucky tonight.

Originally posted by The Weebler II View PostMaybe, but Gonzalez was losing those rounds. I had him up 6-3 with 3 to go. I don't think he was winning those last three so best he could hope for in Glasgow was a draw.
He still should have fought on.

I'm not a big fan of Burns but he looked awful and I'm not sure that was completely Gonzalez's doing.
He looked very stiff and tbh I was a bit weary of his comments before, I'm not saying Gonzalez doesn't have a good left hook but the way he worded it, it almost sounded like he was training for somebody completely different.
I still can't believe the lack of heart he displayed. What a waste of talent.
