Abolish the IBF, fire Jai's promoters, whatever it takes to end this can crushing crusade he's been on. If he can't get a unification, fine, but no more cab drivers.

This guy has a Mickey Mouse promoter. Time for a change as it's obvious his team doesn't have the resources or influence to get him big fights...

From the little I could see, Opetaia did have a sloppier-than-usual night. Thanks to that, I lost my under 4,5 rounds bet. Shìt.

Off Night? Opetaia looked poor and not sharp at all. Yes his opponent was akward and presented kind of an puzzle but Opetaia got hit clean and rushed in smothering his own work like Brian Norman against Haney.

If Opetaia shows up like this against Ramirez i would pick Ramirez if he shows up like this against Benavidez he will get punished. However i think this was a bad night and if he comes back like we usually know him he should be a clear favorite against Ramirez (fight will not happen). But i still think Benavidez vs Opetaia is a true 50/50 fight and i would also give Beterbiev chances especially since Opetaia gets hit and seems quite vulnerable he was hurt in this fight also his face tends to bruise up quickly and he already got his jaw broken.

In retroperskective we might overrated Opetaia a bit due to the super weak competition at Cruiserweight even Ramirez looks like an unstoppable force at Cruiser and Badou still managed to get a title at his age way past his prime and a weight which is not his natural he was not even big at 175.

I can see guys like Yarde or Callum Smith even Buatsi move up and have some success there (but not beating Jai).

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

Anyone looks impressive vs Tomato cans.

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.

Lmao he just struggled to get a 40yo no hoper out there, Jai def needs better management/promoting ,get them big fights going. Even Charlie Zelenof would look great fighting opposition like that lol.

If he was interested in money he would take a fight at heavyweight to see how he does.
