"yes if given the opportunity to box Zurdo again he could do better" - Shane McGuigan

No, cut or no cut, if given the opportunity to box Zurdo again he couldn't do better.

No shame in it whatsoever, he fought very well.

[DJ Daz]

Chris should be VERY thankful his management took him the path of Zurdo as he would not have seen the final bell with Opetaia who many levels above both of them in terms speed, skill, power and toughness.

Openly ducked Opetia to take what they thought was an easier fight in Ramirez just to get beaten relatively easily.

Also made me lost my bet worth £5500

[Groin Grabber]

Gentleman for sure. Dude is a class act.

Did you bet on CBS winning?

Did you bet on CBS winning?

Yeah I had;

Katie Taylor by Decision
Jake Paul by Decision
Chris Billam Smith by Decision
Charles Oliveria to win
Jon Jones by TKO/KO

So £20 would have won me £5500 but yeah Billam Smith messed it all up

Brave man, betting on CBS to beat Zurdo... Still better than yours truly betting on Zepeda knocking out Farmer inside four

Never been a big fan of Zurdo.

My logic was he's a former Super Middleweight against a legit Crusier, thought CBS would pull out a decision but was very wrong

Bettings a mugs game but also abit of fun isn't it.
