CBS really is the epitome of making the most of what talent you have. Everytime I've seen him, I've wondered if he really is world level but he surprises me with how adaptable and resilient he is. This looks like it will be a good fight.

Agree on both counts, I never ‘feel’ that he’s that good but seems to over achieve to his credit. looking like a test here though in what’s a good fight.
 
Yep he's going to need a knockout here.
That was a better round but I agree with the Sky viewer scorecard - this is 6-2 at best.

I’d say Opetaia is a class above but should make a great fight.
Agreed. Opetaia looks like a proper Cruiserweight and I think he hits harder than CBS. Where now for CBS. I can't see him winning a rematch despite the fact it was close. HE's a nice genuine guy so I hope he gets another good payday.
 
I think CBS’s style will always see people want to watch him but more as a solid pro rather than pure box office. Fingers crossed he finds himself more of that Saudi money but it’s far from guaranteed.
 
Opetai is a future pound 4 pounder he will clear up that division
Literally can’t see anyone near him in that division. Though he came out of nowhere (on my radar at least) until that first Breidis fight so the same could happen again

But right now? He is the CW division king and the gap between him and the rest is ridiculous. Easily one of my favourite fighters at the moment. Was always Bivol, Crawford and Inoue but I expect with Crawford looking like he may have a foot out of the game Jai will take his spot
 
If I won the lottery I'd pay Mike £20 million and chase him around the ring with a feather duster while shouting 'he's behind you', this was the level of pantomime, it wasn't a boxing match it was a charade!

Tyson was biting his gloves out of sheer frustration, I still think that he would have knocked out Jake Paul if his contract told him not to jeopardize his payday!
