    Could've done that in the first round, had he really thrown a punch.

    Please explain what you would have Opetaia do. Zurdo has a mandatory coming up and the overrated poms RR and CBS have been very quiet ever since Opetaia belted Jordan Thompson’s brains in.

    The whole division is scared of Opetaia. As they should be, the guy is a cold-blooded monster. So until Zurdo is forced to the table the only guys game enough to fight him are too brave for their own good.

    I
    I never understood that since when had a mandatory taken prioritization to unification? Ramirez is clearly buying time until facing Opetaia.

    Rubbish.Are you really telling me nobody in the division, wants to fight him? Nobody even in the top 20 wants to fight him? Rubbish. Since when has any other fighter ever been given that enormous benefit of the doubt? for can crushing so long?

    If you think he could not find a better opponent than that little italian who was ranked 60th then I have a bridge to sell you. Hearn must be paying scraps.

    The list of top guys who have ducked Opetaia has in some cases been quite public and growing.

    Opetaia rightly wants to unify and his management have worked hard to make those fights but those with the belts have not wanted his smoke.

    You did not answer my question. Forget Zurdo and CBS what about all the other fighters in the division. Where is your evidence they ducked him? Did they get offers?

    Opetaia’s last two opponents have pulled out in the lead-up to the fight. Squeo was a replacement. As was his opponent in his fight before that, Nyika.

    Previously Chris Billam Smith was his mandatory and Billam Smith ducked him. This was very public. No secret.

    Richard Riakporhe was then handed the mandatory position and Riakporhe ducked him as well. Again, very public. No secret.

    Meanwhile Opetaia has been continuously calling out Zurdo Ramirez and his promoter has been making Zuro offers, for what would be the big unification fight and Zurdo doesn’t want to know about it. Again, very public. No secret.

    They are just 5 recent examples where Opetaia didn’t get to fight the guys he wants to fight.


    If you aren't aware of this, it is time you pulled your head out of the sand and actually followed what goes on.

    The 2 opponents that pulled out were bums, and Nykia, was a domestic level aus fighter. Zurdo has a mando he needs to fight. You keep mentioning a few top opponents. Why didn't Jai fight...
