I like CBS. Was surprised Ramirez beat him

I like CBS, too. He's a tough guy with a lot of heart.
But I thought Zurdo would win because of his better boxing, and that's pretty much what happened.
Skills paid the bills for Zurdo that night.

Yeah no doubt Zurdo was the deserved winner.

If I was CBS I'd have a homecoming, get back in the win column and see where things lie after Zurdo vs Opetaia.

There's not many routes back to a unification fight and if you're not looking at a world title bout in the next 12-18 months, is there really any point in carrying on? He's made his money, achieved far more than most people envisaged already and can look back on his career with pride.

I've heard there could be a road open via the WBC, so it's a strange one. If he moves back towards a British title fight he could slide on a banana skin. So if that WBC shot comes he'd be a fool to turn it down!

A fight with Jack Massey shouldn't be too hard to put together, he needs to get back into action too. Mid-year would be a good idea.
