Comments Thread For: Jai Opetaia, Once Healed, May Target Lawrence Okolie, Says Promoter

[SuperSuperLeeds]

Jai Opetaia is like the Eroll Spence of cruiserweights. Opetaia's jaw is shattered, it pains me to think what a P4P puncher like Lawrence Okolie would do after the damage that Briedis inflicted on the new lineal champ.

When did breidis become a joke? Lol hes much more credible than okolie..he beat glowacki quicker the fighter before okolie did too. And thats okolie best win. Guys record is trash

[SuperSuperLeeds]

When Okolie first mentioned a possible move to HW, I didn't think he could find success (I still had his fight against Matty Askin in my memory). Now I'm not sure, maybe he could do well at HW. Other than Opetaia, I'm not sure anyone can potentially threaten him. CBS is too basic, Riakporhe too raw, Makabu doesn't really bring any buzz and I don't see him being a threat anyway.

Regardless of what you see or can't see. Okolie hasnt beaten any of the relevant guys who were competing in the usyk era before him or anything. Why doesnt he have to beat breidis, dorticos or f me even taibiti or yes even makabu. A few of them to cement himself as top cw then move up. A few yrs ago he was fighting camacho..now he beats washed glowacki and chieslak or whatevwr that polski was called and hes automatically the best. And yes he better not duck the riakhpore domestic big fight that id love to see it. Richard is getting more nuanced and better i think and has good power

Jai should fight Dorticos.

I cannot imagine what he pain he must have felt ibn that bout. Every movement must have hurt. Crazy. Fighting with a broken jaw. Just insane.

As I see it, Okolie is the top guy at cruiserweight. He probably knocks this brave Aussie out.

Opetai should fight Danny Green in a domestic dust up.
