Zuffa Boxing 4: Jai Tapu Opetaia vs. Brandon Benard Glanton & Ricardo Salas vs. Jesus Saracho RBR.

Opetaia is fighting within himself, almost as if he wants the 12 rounds of work.

I don't really think Glanton is extending him.

 

7 - 0 Opetaia

 

Glanton has no pop on his punches, he just throws arm punches constantly.

 

Yes, Jai, by all means, move up to HW.

 

Round 7
Opetaia inside, outside, upside down it's all him. This ref is holding a long conversation every round and completely inserting himself into this fight
10-9 Opetaia
70-62 Operaia

 

70-62 Opetaia

Better round from Glanton, got in a nice uppercut inside and an overhand right. I think he's lost some snap over the course of the fight. He got to Jai's body a little more which he needs to do for sure to tire him out

 

The ref is terrible; harshly deducts a point from Glanton for holding, then ignores Opetaia hitting and holding, and stiff arming Glanton. If the ref is going to be a stickler for the rules at least apply it universally.

 

Yea undisputed is now a pipe dream, Usyk is close to 40 may as well move up best someone like Hrgy bear and shoot his shot vs Usyk

 

I have a feeling Jai would struggle with Mexican cruiserweights like Zurdo and Benavides because of their volume and inside fighting

 

Glanton has a very good chin.

 

pretty blatant low blow

 

Glanton could cruise to a 12-round loss here, but these low blows could poke the bear, and he could end up walking into a blizzard. I think Jai ends up stopping him.
