    Not a massive fan or anything but been watching him for years, coming in and fighting as a underdog typical journey man, getting beat ,won a few and he has stuck with it, has a heart of lion and tonight it paid of and i think sometimes even the domestic boxers need a big up and he certainly deserves abit praise, fair play to him... What a warrior. :good

    Always in incredible shape, hard to believe what he's achieved when you look at his early career.

    What a story really, Journey man who learnt his trade and look what he's got now, i like these characters who raise a few eyebrows, he will never win a world title fight but fair play to him. :bbb

    Shinny needs a shot at the belt and I reckon Chris would welcome the rematch.

    Made his name of the back of Dale Robinson who has now fell into bad habits outside the ring. Strange how boxing works but fair play to Chris he's a hard fighter and shows you don't need to be master boxer to make it in this sport.

    Well considering theres only a handful of British flyweights its not such a big feat. Both Edwards arent that good but put on a good fight tonight.

    It is when your a fighter going nowhere. Easy to become a journeyman and pick up few quid every couple weeks and become a 'W' on someones record. He's gone on to beat Jamie McDonnell who's European Bantamweight Champion...

    Before he fought Robinson he was 9-12-2, now he's 16-14-3

    I really don't know who he is..? Is this the black guy, the middleweight who was once in prize fighter.

    I missed Saturday fight night, tonight...? I presume, that its all related..?

    He is no black middleweight.

    He is a pasty flyweight.

    Sorry to disappoint.

    The only black Edwards to compete on Prizefighter was Menay...but he was and is a light heavyweight, not a middleweight.

    Yeah he was on saturday fight night, pasty white like internationalbuts says and needs a good holiday in the sun.
    Not a great boxer but has worked his way up from a journeyman to British champ, great effort...
