    2-1 Jai, but all 3 pretty close, Opetaia just a bit quicker to the punch and sharper.

    Noel with a few decent counters but just a step behind in most exchanges

    Round 1 - 10-9 Opetaia
    Round 2 - 10-9 Opetaia
    Round 3 - 10-9 Opetaia

    Opetaia 30-27

    When Mikaelian lands the punches are eye catching. He just isn't landing ehough of them.

    Mikaeljan right hands sneaking in consistently, despite maybe getting outboxed much of the time.

    2-1 Mik imo. Opetaia wastes too much energy looking flashy, whereas mik is landing the harder shots.

    First Opetaia fight I've caught live, and I've gotta be honest, I'm not particularly impressed so far

    Will mention again, Mika should be undefeated if not for dodgy decisions.

    Ref steps in spuriously every time Opetaia takes a shot.
