Jai Opetaia looks great fighting bums but I just seem him get busted up by a 40 year old
Mairis Briedis isn't any old 40 yr old. There are few guys at any age in the sport with as much toughness and heart as Breidis. On top of that he remains a world-class fighter who probably beats any cruiserweight in the world not called Jai. Jai fought great in both fights with Breidis, and he had to because that guy was not laying down easy. Opetaia is still developing but he's already the clear best Cruiserweight in the world.
To be honest, I think Bivol can beat him despite weight and height disatvantage.
I can see why Turki wants Opetaia to fight Bivol. Opetaia is not really good and he is too small for hw.
Bivol would be the betting favorite, but I could definitely see the upset in this fight. Opetaia is one of the toughest guys in the sport. He's also quick, athletic and a substantially bigger puncher than Bivol. That's a very dangerious fight for Bivol.
