    brandon glanton has good punching power and there will be some fun exchanges but jai is too fast and vicious with his two fisted punching ability, he will lower the boom on him sooner than later

    I figured Glanton was likely going to be Jai's next opponent after watching one of Jai's interviews where he said it would be against a good calibre level opponent, a fight fans would be happy about when they found out who it was, and given Zuffa wanting to put on entertaining fights

    Glanton getting beaten up but he is a big puncher and dangerous

    Glanton can punch and Opetaia does get hit so there is a non-inconceivable chance of an upset. Saying that, most likely Opetaia gets the KO midrounds in a fun fight.

    Probably Opetia, but it's only a matter of time before someone knocks him out...

    Opetaia will win but it will be a exciting fight. Glanton can bang and he's not afraid to fight so he will definitely put up a good effort.

    A guy ranked 18th in the world who lost to a 3-0 fighter is what's classed as a good calibre opponent for Opetia now is it?

    Fringe top 10 fighter. Another meh fight for Opetaia which he should win comfortably. He should go to HW before its too late. Zurdo will duck him forever.

    Glanton is a good calibre opponent and I'm relaying what Jai and his manager said which is what lead me to deduct it was Glanton. 2 of Glanton's 3 losses were SDs or MDs and controversial and the other 1 was a highly competitive loss to former champ CBS and Glanton gave them all big problems and he's beaten quality opponents like Egorov in Russia and Marcus Browne both via stoppage and the big punching Apochi.

    There's nothing remotely controversial about describing Glanton as a good calibre opponent. He's a good fighter and he hits hard, applies relentless pressure and is tough and has never been stopped. I didn't say he was a world champ or an ATG calibre fighter I said he's a good one and he is

    And if you actually watched his loss to the 3-0 prospect you'd know he's a good fighter too who upset Alexei Papin in his very next fight and is currently serving a six year ban for being jacked to high heaven on PEDs

    Zuffa want Opetaia to fight an American in America on Zuffa 4 and Glanton is probably the best American cruiserweight there is.

    If people don't like the fight, don't watch it.
