    Opetia has won pretty much every round but doesn't look to punch very hard, if he fights Benevidez I think he's getting stopped

    I don't think Jai is getting dodged due to the elite being scared I just don't think he'd sell..I think his a hypetrain myself.

    Ill give the other guy one more round. If he doesnt pick up the pace with tactics and punches, its just a matter of time. Did he know hes fighting a southpaw? Because it doesnt look like it to me?

    It's a shame; I'd like to see Opetaia lose—I just don't really like him...

    Jai is a lot of fun to watch but he gets stunned quite frequently, that shot was sharp but didn't look like it had too much on it.

    Noel rocks him with a right hook, Jai holds for dear life and takes him down. Jai recovers. Noel bobbing and weaving, looking to walk him into a counter. Whacks him with another right hook.
