Yes i had it 6-3 to Gonzalez too so same as judges 87-84 and it's almost certain they had it 6-1 after 7rds with Burns winning 8 and 9 more down to Gonzalez not throwing anything then Burns landing anything of note in those rds.

Was a pretty easy fight to score...of the first 7 rounds i only gave Burns round 4 even though it was a close round and could have gone to Gonzalez.

I'm still perplexed about Gonzalez quitting like he did. I'll give him the benefit of doubt and say he did injure his wrist which explains why he stopped throwing in rounds 8 and 9 and i'm sure he was tired and gassed too but come on this is a World title fight that he was easily winning and he hardly took a clean punch from Burns in rds 8 or 9 so wasn't getting beaten up or anything.

I actually don't think Ricky had enough in the tank himself to really do anything much in the last 3 rds so all Gonzalez had to do is dig down hard and get on his bike for 9 minutes and use his one good hand to try and nick a round and become a World champion.

Gonzalez had the skills to become a World Champion but unfortunately maybe not the heart.

Burns was stalking him like **** in the 9th. Gonzalez was discouraged by the fact Ricky wasn't tiring like he was, and thats why he quit. I think Burns would have stopped him on his feet within the next 2 rounds.
Gonzalez was the superior boxer but he didn't have a champions fitness or heart.
