Comes across as a really down to earth lad and would like him to do well but can't see him winning this without an unlikely ko even with home advantage.
Did seem a strange ending,why did they wait until the start of the round to quit when he could have done it as soon as he sat down? Takes the gloss off Burns' victory for sure
Broken hand/wrist my arse. He simply ran out of gas and didn't want to know.
Rarely agree with Jim Watt, but he is right thistime Gonzalez's heart had gone.
Rubbish. He could've lost the last 3 rounds and still won.
Definitely an injury.
Why not go out and hide for 3 rounds then?
He looked shattered on the stool. Punched himself out in the 7th.
Looking back, i'd agree with you. People have fought with broken hands before, it's not something that he'd need to quit for (especially in a world title fight). But that's more down to Gonzalez than Burns doing well.
Without knowing the injury its à bit unfair to say he bottled it. He didn't get this far to à world title fight Without showing more bottle than anyone on this forum. Makes me laugh.

The Choi fight on the undercard was a battle.
Burns needed to throw more that last round with the other guy tired, wasted.
How could he quit 5 rounds up?

He managed that for the last 2 rounds.
He might be a knockout artist but that's not the heart of a champion or a world class fighter.

His body language a bit annoyed
Unbeaten fighter, winning the fight with a few rounds to go.....wasn't his hand/wrist that stopped him.
Burns has one of the biggest hearts in boxing, Gonzalez clearly doesn't
