Comments Thread For: Jai Opetaia ends mismatch with Claudio Squeo in round five

[SouthpawRight]

Lol where the F do you come up with these nicknames? Opetaia has very fast hands and feet (for a Cruiserweight) allowing him to get in and out of range quickly and detonate a bomb or two be it the straight left, right hook or some well timed uppercuts. He also has an 80% KO ratio and Breidis is the only man to go the full distance with him (twice) since 2019.

Nobody knows for certain how a potential fight between him and Bivol would play out but the latter's already proven he possesses an IRON CHIN having survived 24 rounds with Beterbiev. Therefore, you'd have to give him the edge because of his superior fight IQ and experience. I actually think Opetaia vs. Beterbiev would be a much more entertaining fight as Breidis was able to break his jaw so who knows what Artur would do to him.

I see Jai's size speed explosiveness and strength of youth making Artur who going up in weight look old

Plus Artur will have the wear and tear from at least 2 full fights worth of clean strikes to the head by Bivol

shame we're unlikely to see how Tiger Paw Artur's power carries up one weight. golovkin another big puncher whose power we only saw in his first and one weight class

Sheesh look what Opetaia did to Canelo...hope he recovers in time for the Crawford fight!

Parker’s Cousin Buff Guy Jai on the left hook that hurt him in a 1-2-3.

terrific fighter but decent 6/10 defense having had his jaw broken before.

I’ve seen him hurt by rear uppers, straight rights, and left hook
