    Main Support Bout is Clarke vs Wardley. Opetaia vs Massey is the fight before that.

    Opetaia is a one of a kind savage

    Massey a very tough bloke but he didn't win an exchange in that fight.

    Special fighter.

    I remember being critical of him in his early fights because I saw him as a one handed fighter. His jab at the time was both poor and underutilized. He's come a long way since.

    Jai Opetaia is Australia’s best fighter and to be honest the gap between him and the the number two spot is enormous.

    Media is pathetic as always. 2 world champs defend their titles, not too much footprint.

    Paro doesn't get much due either (in NSW anyway)

    Tim Tszyu has been training at the UFC Performance Institute in Vegas and reportedly blowing them away with the strength and conditioning results he has attained.

    I don't think the gap between Opetaia and Tim Tszyu is that big. Tszyu will prove it in his next fight IMO.

    Opetaia is the unquestionably the man at cruiserweight but the super welterweight talent pool is deeper than cruiserweight.

    I agree but I think Tim will come out on top at super welter lets face it without the cut he would have beaten Fundora and be holding two belts already.

    Big fight this weekend for the King of Australian boxing. I don't think it's going to be easy for him. He's up against the Artur Beterbiev of the Junior Middleweight division. I'm feeling a bit toey about the outcome but hopefully Timmy Beard-Breaker gets it done.
