    3-1 Jai

    First really clear round for me, Opetaia starting to look more fluid and throw with more intention, Noel on his bike a bit and looking tentative for the 1st time

    Nah Benavidez’s concrete feet would get him obliterated

    Mikaelian losing focus. Fight is getting to him. Fight is messy but Let the ref do his job.

    To his credit, it seems Jai trained a bit better for Mikaelian than he did for Brandon Glanton....

    Round 1 Mikaelian 10-9
    Round 2 Opetaia 10-9
    Round 3 Mikaelian 10-9
    Round 4 Opetaia 10-9
    Round 5 Mikaelian 10-9

    A lot more inside fighting, Jai landing to the body more, but Noel sneaking in a ton of sneaky right hooks. His shots are far cleaner.

    Jai's taking over. But Benavidez would maul him in the clinch.
