    I like CBS too but let's face it, he was absolutely gifted his title by Okolie. If ever there was an own goal in boxing that was it.

    Chris Billam Smith needs to look to pressure, get into mid range and time Opetaia as he puts everything into that straight left, which he always does, he never varies the speed of his punches, but I’ll be going with Opetaia to win.

    Opetaia is simply too strong and too good for Billam-Smith, but I'd like to see that fight to see how Billam-Smith would go down against someone who doesn't tend to hug his opponent...

    Actually, CBS is very durable and his chin is fairly sturdy. I reckon he'll probably go the distance. Jai is very good but if anybody could give him problems in this current cruiser division, it's probably CBS. I think CBS will be more competitive than I first thought actually.
