Great article. Always like it when a writer takes the time to go deep into the subject matter and hang out with a fighter to get more than the usual platitudes. Nice job Tris!

I was going to say, a very long article but then I started enjoying it - mostly his attitude, which is refreshing. He sounds different from a typical boxer, a lot more philosophical, but also practical at the same time. I thought he was avoiding Opetaia, but now can see things from a different perspective.

I don't have a preference for who wins out of CBS and Ramirez, as long as there is a winner (a draw would be the worst result) and that the winner has the cojones to face Opetaia and that seems to be more likely Ramirez. Not long to see who it will be.

Guys like CBS are great for sport in general, not just boxing – but certainly a gem especially for boxing. Hope he has one of those over-achieving careers like Froch did. He seems to have some intangibles that are hard to spot but pull him through to win at a high level.
