    Adam Kownacki needs to give it up and retire. Lost his last four in a row and will get permanently injured if he continues.

    Did he have a great career? No, of course not, but did he give his all to the sport?

    Also no.

    Riakporhe threw away a fight against Opetaia for whatever this is...

    He even shamelessly claimed that they had other title shot opportunities they were pursuing

    I guess he's waiting for the winner of Billam-Smith v Masternak?

    May be but I think Ben didn't want him taking that fight, that was Opetaia's interpretation of it anyways. He thought Riakporhe was happy to fight him but the suits behind the scenes didn't want it to happen

    Instead we got an obvious mismatch against Thompson after both Masternak & Riakporhe pulled out

    I am just disappointed because I think Opetaia vs Riakporhe is the best fight that can be made at CW. I suppose it will be even bigger if Riakporhe wins his upcoming fight & then wins a title against Billam-Smith or Masternak because then it will be a unification bout

    Let's hope Saudi's take an interest in CW because it seems like everyone wants to avoid Jai

    Yeah can't disagree with that. No reason why it can't happen sometime next year, obviously a difficult task these days though as promoters continue to hold the sport up.
