Comments Thread For: Who could Jai Opetaia fight next??

[SouthpawRight]

Exactly this is the big test for Ring in terms of credibility.

Not sure why any top 10 guy would risk their ranking with no real belt at stake. Jai isn't the only one trying to get paid, fighting for nothing not even a bump in ranking that would improve their chances a championship fight and a better payday doesn't make sense as a fighter or a promotor.

Jai is pretty much stuck calling out guys like Shannon Briggs used to do, unless they are willing to over pay opponents. Belt holders will focus on unifying to max out the purse and their percentage of future purses.

Long road ahead for Opetaia. Others will make 2x or 3x the money per fight and they may not even be as good as Jai. Plus, once the MMA guys realize that the boxing side of their promotional outfit get better pay, the fun will begin.

ring sold out its credibility last year

once a year oleksandr remaining p4p king after beating Dubois again lol. and still there even with his next fight a kickboxer for the oleksandr one a year plan

over Naoya mopping MJ in addition to 3 other fights including 1 good contender

Hey man, a lot of those taco eating fat chicanos can fight and have fast hands.

of course Mexicans are the next most successful ethnicity in boxing after AmeriBlacks

is Fat Gilbert an honorary chicano

Fat Gilbert speaks excellent English

He will be a honorary chicano if he can beat Benavidez but I'm white so take that into account.

the commentators stated next target the winner of Fat Gilbert v Fat Dave

should the Mexicans require an INSTArematch Spray_resistant

NOEL would be a good alternative

purpose of signing with Zuffa was to get the big fights

Beating a big Mexican turns Parker’s Cousin Buff Guy Jai into a Stateside Star

euroid Eddie had no leverage and offer for the Mexicans

diff ball game with Dana who knows how the game goes with Vegas

he just fought a top 10 ranked ring fighter

As per The Rings own rules...
'If a champion doesn't fight a Ring Top 10 ranked opponent for 2 years' .
They will lose the title.

In May, Jai's 2 years are up.

So if the Ring have any sort of credibility he HAS to fight one of the Top 10. I mean the top 5 is:
- Gilberto Ramirez
- Chris Billam-Smith
- Michal Cieslak
- Noel Mikaelian
- Ryan Rozicki

Please do not tell me he's unable to make one of these. They are not difficult fights to make.
CBS, for example, would jump at the chance.

Otherwise he should be stripped of the Ring title too.

I’m hoping he fights Rozicki. That mf is a menace. He lost to Rivas, but took the fight on short notice and gave up at least 30 pounds. Then Rivas retired — I would too, if I knew Ryan was out there hunting.

[Toffee]

I'm assuming that anyone that fights him will lose their ranking if the Zuffa belt is on the line. And it will have to be on the line otherwise Zuffa will look ******.

I'm not sure why people are pretending that he can become Undisputed or that he moved to Zuffa to make the big fights.

He moved to make a lot of money.

[El_Mero]

He fights at CW but i agree ZUffa either gets him Benavidez or Zurdo or he needs to move up there is no point im him fighting these guys or at least fight the better part of the already not good CW division.

I actually meant either move down to 168 or move up to hw. But yeah, you ain't wrong
