    I thought Professor Toru Tanaka was dead? What's he doing in Jai's corner?

    Sadly that's the type of knockout that can ruin your punch resistance forever

    I don't think i have seen a southpaw at cruiserweight whose straight left hand is as versatile and powerful as Jai. Brutal shot and that opens up his lead hooks and uppercuts since everyone is worried about the left hand.

    He should have, David Fields is kind of a shitty ref, he damned near let Kovalev beat Hopkins to death in the 12th round of their fight.

    Definitely sets a high bar. Not sure if Nykia needed to swallow that last shot, but Opetaia definitely made sure to force feed it to him anyway. Yeesh. Pretty scary.
