Opetaia vs current Itauma

Hypothetically, if Opetaia were offered a huge deal to fight current untested Itauma, could he pull it off?

 

No

 

reasoning?

 

Itauma is the bigger and better fighter, Itauma by KO...

 

Opetaia's face recently against a 41 year old looked like he'd been in a meat grinder.

A past it Briedis broke his jaw aswell.

Opetaia's face hasn't been holding up that well against Cruiserweights let alone big imposing heavy hitters at Heavyweight.

 

Untested at HW

I can't look past that

Reckless too which needs to stop if he moves up

 

Opetaia dances around him all night, outboxes him easily, Itauma is slow and lacks tecnique

 

Opetaia beats the brakes off that hypejob.

 

Opetaia struggled with a 41 year old journeyman and some truly believe Opetaia can beat the young Itauma, Itauma would run him over...

 

Itauma is slow? That's one of the worst takes I've ever seen.

 

Itauma via KO within 3 rounds

 

Then he should just move up and clean out the HW division if he is that good

Zurdo is ducking

There is no money at CW

Why stick around? Usyk had the good sense to move up as soon as unified and realised there is no more money to be made at CW

Opateia needs to apply the same sense

 

Of all the valid criticisms you could have made, you claim he is slow

Have you actually watched him?

 

Opetaia is far more proven but Itauma's not a hype he's the real deal
