    Benavidez smokes Jai, hope that fight gets made too, Jai always likes to fight guys smaller than him and likes his reach advantage and legs to stay on the run ...

    David will show him no respect , he going straight to work ..

    Benavidez hand speed is 2x as fast than Jai lol

    I love the '(insert name) could beat Opetaia' claims, when we already know they don't want his smoke.

    Jai is fast himself but I didn't like what I saw with the way he was handling the pressure from a can like glanton who is obviously a fraction of what David brings in the ring. He allowed glanton to get too close too often and get off too many shots. If he lets David do that its suicide. I was actually worried about a Jai fight previously but now I got David confidently.

    Ridiculous comment.

    Opetaia has belted the daylights out of bigger guys. Thompson, Cinkara and Nyika are all bigger than Opetaia. That’s just guys who he has beaten recently. I’m not going back further than that but you really should educate yourself before you post such garbage.

    Benavidez is not favourite against Opetaia. And he will learn very quickly that it’s one thing to beat up on LHW’s, it’s another thing altogether to go toe to toe with a monster like Opetaia. I genuinely fear for his health.

    Jai forces David to raise the bandera blanca.

    I bet you said the same thing before David moved to 175. Jai did not look like a monster yesterday.

    I’m a big Benavidez fan as a matter of fact. But he ain’t beating Opetaia in any universe.

    And your eyes are painted on.

    This.

    Honestly looks a touch chubby at LHW. Cannot imagine how fat he is going to look at Cruiser.

    He should just move to heavy anyway, unifying at cruiser wont bring the money or eyes that picking up a belt at heavy will. Usyk will be stripped soon if he carries on taking the ****, so some easier challengers may be there.

    They still have to want to fight him. The cruiserweights don't. That doesn't mean the heavyweight automatically will.

    Great performance by Opetaia, now I hope he can fight the winner of Ramirez - Benavidez (beyond the question of world titles, what matters to me is that 'best fight the best').

    I doubt that, even so he has a valid excuse to fight a bum first at heavy which he's doing at cruiser anyway.

    That everyone at heavy will also avoid him, no one there is spooked by 12 rounds with limited Glanton.
