Comments Thread For: Devastating Jai Opetaia leaves overmatched Husseyin Cinkara motionless

Lol what an embarrassing state of affairs...he needs to face the winner of Ramirez-Benavidez next and have a REAL fight instead of wasting his best years beating up cab drivers

Needs to make sure he gets that WBC first. Then it will be an even bigger fight

Agreed...he needs to fight one of the champions next i.e. Ramirez or Jack. Jack's 42yo and Opetaia has a habit of beating up old champs i.e. Breidis plus it means that the winner of the Ramirez-Benavidez fight can face him next for all the marbles.

Benavidez vs. Opetaia is a 50-50 fight in my opinion (like Bivol vs. Beterbiev) and would be fireworks plus David actually has the BALLS to fight him.

Opetia is a scary guy! Even though he's pretty much only fighting cans it's the manor in which he's dispatching of them that's most important. I wouldn't be exaggerating by saying I momentarily thought he killed 2 of his last 3 opponents after the final punch was rendered. His victims just seem to lie motionless for a unhealthy amount of time.

Exactly! That's why Zurdo acted like he didn't know who Opetaia is. Also, If Jai was an easy mark, Benavidez would've called him out taken the belt and went for a bigger money fight unifying against Zurdo. The fear amongst fighter is real, they seem to prefer to take the long way and detours to get to Opetaia. Now will Jai be able to make the pay like Crawford did throughout his career, the jury is still out on that one. Like I said, the fear is real. I just hope Jai isn't avoided till he gets close to 40 like Beterbiev.

Opetaia makes absolutely no sense for Benavidez. The Ramirez fight barely makes any sense and only because its mexican day and two fighters who have mexican fanbase besides that Bneavidez needs and will concrntrate on 175.

However Ramirez definetly ducking Opetaia but maybe he saw this fight today and saw what i thought everyone else saw as well. A horrible performance from Opetaia not clean and sharp as we use to know him.

He fights any world class fighter like he did today and he will lose and probably even get hurt, this guy landed on Opetaia way to often and even hurt him. Something was really off with Opetaia or we might overrated him but lets wait everyone can have a bad day in the office
