    Artur Beterbiev v Jai Opetaia.

    Time is running out for Artur. A 3rd fight v Bivol isnt even on the radar. Opetaia cant get unification fights as his opponents are cowards, and is finding it hard to get fights at all.

    Artur hasnt much more time to make money. Jai needs to stay active and interested. A fight v Beterbiev would be a very interesting fight. Although stepping up a division, Artur has the speed and power to upset Jai. There is no real clear favourite.

    Makes total sense to me.

    Don’t mind it, but would prefer Beterbiev vs Benavidez if Bivol is taking a tune up next.

      *Nothing in a Benavidez fight for Artur. If he loses hes done, and im not sure if its a real big money fight?

      *V Opetaia though, he will be stepping up a division against a P4P one of the worlds best, and no blame if he gets beaten. It wont affect his Light Heavy standing.

      *There would be more interest in this fight and hence more money.

        Artur could be 41 by the time he fights again

        maybe too old for a 25 pounds weight class jump

        I think he most wants to win his 175 belts back

        Parker's Cousin Buff Guy Jai is a task for Top Soviet Bivol

        Bivol and his team have mentioned facing Buff Guy Jai multiple times

        Right after beating Zinad Bivol himself in the ring mentioned Turki wants to see him fight Fat Dave and Buff Guy Jai

        in a meeting just last week Eddie reported that Top Soviet Bivol is gunning at Artur trilogy, Fat Dave, and Buff Guy Jai

        Top Soviet Bivol fight night weight is 185. Buff Guy Jai must be at least 215

        how much bulk would Bivol add for cruiser maybe 5 pounds of muscle to 190?

          Top Soviet Bivol vs Buff Guy Jai would be fun since Jai is inspired by the Soviet Step footwork

          Jai best bet is to post up at 200 to face the 175 stars moving up

          He been hurt by randoms at cruisers and would get sparked at heavyweight

            Benavidez is a far bigger name and far bigger fight.

                haven’t once heard Artur talk about going up in weight

                Top Soviet Bivol has repeatedly mentioned Buff Guy Jai

                Fat Dave talks about a future at cruiser
