Jai Tapuloa Opetaia vs. David Kieran Nyika & Justis Pieter Huni vs. Shaun Potgieter RBR

Round 2

Opetaia is backed into the ropes by some hard straights on the body from Nyika. They circle out into the open space in the middle and Opetaia begins to cuff a right hook into Nyika's temple. Clinches, and both working their free hands with flank taps. Nyika flurries into the arms. Opetaia ducks, swoops in, holds briefly, and works uppercuts into the midsection. Lots of hand-fighting and pushing down on each other's arms. Looping left and right hook combo by Opetaia into either side of Nyika's head. BIG left hand by Opetaia. Nyika rocked but rallies and scores a flush 1-2.

10-9 Opetaia

20-18 Opetaia

 

VERY evenly matched, both rounds have been on razor's edge. Also, fair bit of clinching but still far more aesthetically pleasing than the southpaw vs. southpaw stereotype.
