    Great cameo from Jeff!

    He even got Gomez' sombrero back! Shame about the way Gomez went out though.

    Unlucky tonight Jeffrodamus. Burns didn't really let your man into the fight except for a few fleeting moments where he hurt him briefly.

    Consolation is...you looked pretty stylish on Sky Sports.

    Cudos on the celtic gear jeff :goodTake it that was Mikey's idea?

    i think Burns has the style to beat Martninez and isn't as vulnerable as Cook. Lets not forget Cook was outboxing him until he started getting involved inside. Burns could keep him at long range all night. Still i'd like to see him in a couple more domestic fights, Mitchell would be a tough fight.

    Nice one Jeff, people shouldn't take the ****.

    Credit to Gomez and the team for getting him out there when there's clearly nothing in the tank.

    Just finished watching the fight.

    Awesome stuff from Burns. His jab, combinations and handspeed were all fantastic. He didn't allow Gomez to do his stuff on the inside fought his own fight. If he only he had a bit more power....

    It's time for Gomez to hang 'em up now. He's had a great career but this fight showed he hasn't got it anymore. His best round was easily the 4th where he actually hurt Burns with a great uppercut but apart from that it was all one way traffic.

    Just one more thing, Howard Foster is a wanker.

    Gomez said in the interview after the fight he wants 2 easy 4/6 round fights to get up to 50 fights as a pro. No one will begrudge him that.

    Billy nelson has done a great job. He's made burns a much more compact fighter and his body punching was troubling mike a lot more then was apparent- I would give burns a 50-50 with Martinez, he's a really nice kid and hope he does well.
