    Who would you favor

    I think Opetaia will do well at heavyweight and he's bigger than Spinks but imo Spinks wins in a great fight

    Hard to say. Opetaia probably carries more raw power at heavyweight and is naturally bigger. I will take Spinks to survive the early storm and win a points decision. But really hard to say as Jai has more raw power.

    Spinks UD after surviving an early storm.

    Spinks surely takes Opetaia apart at his best.

    Spinks. Much higher caliber of fighter.

    At this point in time, Spinks.

    This would be an exceptional fight, for now I would choose Spinks, I wish them both all the best.
