Sure, you can talk about both Golotas, but I saw a Ricky Burns bout against Jose Gonzalez, did you see that one?
I've never seen anything like it... Gonzalez lands at will, schools him and basically bashes him up for seven rounds. Ricky hangs tough and takes his beating, and Gonzalez seems to gas after seven rounds of knocking the **** out of Burns.
Burns ISTR claws back the next two rounds as Gonzalez is gassed and disheartened, then he amazingly quits on his stool and refuses to come out for the tenth, saying he has a broken left hand.
As it was in the UK, I think the scores were probably closer than they should have been, particularly with a Burns fight, but the guy HAD to think he must have been up at least five rounds. Even if he'd lost the last three, he'd have still been a "world" champ, with the WBO belt.
ISTR if he'd lost the last three rounds (which looked likely) it would have actually made it a draw on the judge's cards, but he didn't KNOW that.
The lounge is f@&king terrible I'm the only true cunt left standing.
