yeah hope CBS gets a life changing purse from middle east.

Yes. He's certainly utilising his potential through hard work and he seems a good bloke. Hope he gets at least a couple of monster paydays.

Go back a few years and CBS was one of the guys willing to take any fight.
I think I remember an Eddie Hearn interview where Isaac Chamberlain had left Matchroom or fought on another card and I’m sure Eddie said he was trying to make Chamberlain v CBS for a British eliminator or something like that and Chamberlain didn’t want to know, presumably because CBS hadn’t broken out yet.

Credit to CBS. Riak was always someone with more power than substance but I thought that would be enough. The gulf in class between these guys and Opetaia is massive. CBS deserves all the credit in the world. Hard worker and he's grafted a career and deserves to be where he is. He's just tougher than the rest.

Haha well cbs does comes across as very loyal. I doubt he came away with 6 figures from Saturday night
Let's hope he's smart enough to know his worth

I really like Chris, he seems like a nice bloke. Hopefully he gets a property paid off and sets himself up. Him and Ramirez would be good
