Anybody see Ricky Burns dodge a bullet on Saturday night? The Scottish lightweight champ was in against Puerto Rican puncher Jose Gonzales and for me lost all the first 6 rounds, in the 7th Gonzales really went for it but Burns hung tough and fired back. Gonzales then looked spent and 2 rounds later quit, blaming a broken hand!!!

Burns is one of my favourites but this was a bit of a let off for him, although he may well have stopped the kid late on. As for Gonzales??? He quit!!!! Even if he did break his paw, he was so far ahead he could have fought one handed and still won. Burns out toughed him pure and simple!!
