      Opetaia is an absolute beast in there, must watch boxer for me, hell good on his feet and throws with bad intentions, hope he gets the respect he deserves now. Got that devil look on him, looked like he wanted to glass Hearn in the post fight, has been talking about how little respect matchroom has given him through the week.

            Opetaia might make cruiserweight a cool division

              Def reminds me of him. Has that Loma/Usyk twirling jab hand in your face like a constant feint. Hard hitting, slick southpaw. That was a fun match to watch.

                Was interesting how he paused at times and stood still while looking for the opening where to punch next (esp when he had Thompson against the ropes). Im wondering if somebody else will catch him slippin at that moment.

                  Right.
                  I'd still favor him over everyone at cruiser right now, but he can be hit and hit cleanly.

                    Yes I recall this fight now. Thompson was lucky to get past that limited opponent, if you let a guy walk into your wheel house what do you expect to happen when you are tall and skinny cruiserweight.
