Jai Opetaia vs David Nyika world title-fight is set for January 8

This will be a replay of Bivol vs zinad

 

Exactly. As long as you continue to challenge yourself and offer entertainment you have a job even with losses.

The reason one loss potentially kills an American prospect's career is because they promote them so much based on the fact that they are undefeated, and not by great opponents they've faced and the results of such fights.

 

The good thing is that Nyika is in great shape, he is strong and quite big, that will be his chance and kudos to him for his courage...

 

It´s so ridiculous when 1-0 guys are introduced as undefeated. But thats the mentality of the American promoters, which has carried over to other countries too, to an extent.
"Miguel Cotto is undefeated when fighting in Madison Square garden!" Stfu! The most meaningless, empty promotional garbage there is.

Instead of promoting records, they should promote the fighters and the fights.

 

Nyika to surprise to the upside here

Could even get the upset.

Don't be shocked.....

Impeccable mindset

 

Why the **** is it in the middle of the week?

 

Opetaia by KO in round 5.

 

Jai is a scary looking MF. Wouldn't want to bump into him the wrong way for sure.

 

I’d be more shocked than when Douglas beat Tyson.

So many people still sleeping on Opetaia. He is sensational.

 

I saw in the face to face video that Nyika said that Massey and Thompson didn't have a gameplan against Opetaia, and that he will.

Have to take what fighters say in these things with a grain of salt, but that's not a good sign for Nyika, I'm sure Massey and Thompson had perfectly sensible gameplans, its just that it's a different thing to actually put it together in the ring with Opetaia on the night.

 

Everyone has a gameplan until they get punched in the face

 

Jai will skilfully neutralise Nyika's offense and dissect his defence.

 

That reminds me, last I recall Tapales and Nery also said they knew the weakness of Inoue.
