Gonzalez QUIT!!???

[Chris Collins]

He ***** quit. I'd be embarressed and ashamed to quit from a broken hand, especially if I was way up in a world title fight. Exhaustion is actually a better excuse.

[kiaba360]

Both or one? If he really wanted to win, I would have just used the other than like Chambers did against Adamek.
Dude had 2 more rounds and he would have won

Did they show the judges scorecards up to that point?

[Weebler I]

No doubt in my mind that Broner would have stopped Burns within 4.

Thats not saying much about Broner either. Burns is clearly a domestic level fighter.

He didn't stop little Gavin Rees until the 5th.

Burns is a 2-weight world champ, not sure how that equates to being domestic level.

[The Hammer]

Ricky Burns has the heart and the mindset of a champion.

Gonzalez has long arms and he's well-schooled, but sometimes that's not enough.

In round 7, Gonzalez ran into the stone wall of Ricky Burns determination to win, and couldn't get through it.

[FlatLine]

Gonzalez was undefeated and a mandatory. Very good fighter, slick movement, great jab, wide variety of punches and a lot of power. Burns had too much heart for him to deal with after he sustained the injury. I would guess he might have continued against a lesser fighter but Burns is a different case.

After seeing this, the Broner fight would have been interesting to see. Gonzalez has many of the skills that Broner has, he even had his own less-refined version of the shoulder roll. There is a chance that fight could have gone a similar way with Broner outboxing Burns early, then Burns coming back later on (like how the Ponce De Leon fight played out).

[Thad.Castle]

Hurt or not that was straight bitch shit, This was his chance to be champion.

Sad He basically took a knee in the corner.

No Excuses for him.

[Thad.Castle]

He took his best shots and kept coming at him. Sometimes that's all it takes.

AMEN!

Thats all it took this time, and in alot of fights, you just have too out tough the dude.

Wow didn't see that coming!! You need Heart as well as talent to be a champion! Obviously Gonzales ain't got Heart! #Quitter!!

Fighters know! Broken hand or no broken hand you fight on! The only thing that was broken in there was Gonzalez's heart after round 7!!

[TouchyAndalou]

Gonz won first 7 rounds and actually had a case for 10-8 in round 7.

There was no case for a 10-8 round in round 7. Both men traded hard shots, both were hurt. Gonzalez probably got the better of it, but it was in no way the type of domination that would justify a 10-8 round.

Burns was poor tonight. To be fair though, it was a tough style match up for him. Burns was at home and eager to entertain a sold out arena against a decent technical boxer with long arms who fought off the back foot. |That resulted in him reaching with his punches most of the time. He showed impressive will and fitness (unlike Gonzalez) but he also showed that, skill-wise, he's closer to world level than he is elite.

One thing these British boxers are is heart
Burns
Murray etc

Both or one? If he really wanted to win, I would have just used the other than like Chambers did against Adamek.

I'm surprised his trainer even let him quit. Many trainers would have pushed him back in the ring and told him to STFU and keep fighting.
