    Enjoyed his career so far, will be rooting for him Saturday - shows what hard work and dedication can achieve, he was never the most gifted!

    Yes and totally under the radar due to the OAP v Pope John Paul circus.

    Very good card and a good night of boxing to look forward to.

    How sad and a shame that such a freak show gets so much attention.

    Latino Night is a really good card with several interesting fights.

    Bold prediction but i reckon CBS will out work Ramirez and get an SD.

    CBS gives it his all and is a busy fighter. Ramirez is a classy fighter but looks like he spent too much time at the Saudi buffet.

    Think CBS has squeezed every single bit out of himself and his career, and I'm always in the corner of such a fighter.

    Just recall Mateusz Masternak out boxing CBS with his (still) fast hands, and can see Zurdo doing the same.

    Hope not, as I think Zurdo is a bit lazy, and doesn't quite have the dedication of CBS, although he has more natural talent.

    Should be a cracking contest, and may the best man win

    It's a shame this weekend will be all about the Tyson freak show and not a solid Saturday night card.

    Someone at work pinged me saying they'd be watching Tyson-Paul illegally, then thinking they'd hit the jackpot since it's on Netflix. I tried to point out proper boxing but he's a casual who doesn't care for that...

    Difficult fight for cbs, Ramirez struggled with bivols jab and movement which are probably cbs’s weakest departments.

    Goulamarian who recently lost to Ramirez may well have beaten cbs in an entertaining slugfest.

    Ramirez via ud but I hope I’m wrong

    Chris will do him, the bulldog spirit will take ramirez out of his rythm and drown him. I have no more technical reasoning than that. Come on Chris!!

    Smith was even texting Ramirez before he won the title. He clearly had no interest in facing Opetaia first before earning more money, because he knows he'd lose. I can't blame him. He has pretty much no chance of beating Opetaia.

    Jose Ramirez v Barbosa.

    Think Oscar Duarte is on too.

    This,100%. One of the few genuine good guys in the sport and has worked hard to maximise his potential.

    Looking forward to the card and got fingers crossed for a CBS win
