    I don't think this is the response Mendoza was anticipating.:lol:

    I struggle to think off the top of my head such a dominant display by a challenger suffering a broken rib.

    Most fighters pull of of a fight if they suffer a cracked ribs. On flim Johnson has a black eye from a Burns shot. Any story that Johnson was untouched in the match is fiction.

    Burns seems to take quite a beating here:

    "ERROR 404 (NOT FOUND)!!1

    I was actually looking to congratulate you on producing an actual source to back your bizarre hatred of fighters for the first time in some time...now you're starting to worry me.

    I didn't put much stock on the victory myself until now.

    Knowing johnson was so dominant with a cracked rib is very impressive. I can't think of a previous or future challenger accomplishing the same.

    Very good point lufcrazy...Johnson's win just went up in my estimation...Burns landed only several blows but his freakish power somehow resulted in a broken rib...and he still remained totally dominant...

    You ignore primary sources, as has been conclusively proven.
