    Kellerman used to be part of arguably greatest commentary team with Lampley, Merchant and Foreman in particular, now he seems to be a rent a quote for whoever pays the most. Well the fights done, Opetaia victory.

    Got hit while he was trying to hold Opetaia.

    Wow. I expected it to go into the latter rounds. Good for Jai.

    Howzabout that WBC belt Mikaelian gets to keep...?

    Rope held him up, ref calls it a knock down. Gave him instruction and Mikaelian did not answer. Waves it.

    Just dumb to stand there in the clinch with your arm down. Useless.

    Quite an ineffective method of attempting to hold a fighter

    Mikaeljan No Mas basically. Impressive. I was wondering whether Opetaia might start to gas a bit. Not so. Mikaeljan was fighting on empty.

    Valiant performance from Noel, just came up short. Great recovery from Opetaia when he was hurt. Great fight, great sportsmanship at the end. Cant complain at anything there.
