    Briedis broke his jaw and couldn't KO him

    So Riakporhe also won't be able

    I think southpaw Jai gonna win on points

    Even the faded version of Briedis that fought Opetaia would've KO'd Riakporhe. Jack Massey and CBS both deserved to beat Riakporhe so he should have 2 losses in my book. He's gigantic for the weight and hits very hard but I'm not sure why so many are so high on him. Opetaia is much better but Riakporhe's size and power obviously pose a risk.

    I'm not high on either of them. I like Opetaia but he's in his prime and not really much better than a faded Briedis. That being said, he is the more skilled fighter here and probably tough enough to avoid getting KO'ed, so I guess he'll probably manage to win this one.

    I heard some rummors that there is issue with jaw healing, he postpones mandatory with Masternak so its highly possible they gone strip him off belt

    Riakporhe is to lazy. Opetaia will outwork him for a UD.

    Not sure about lazy, might come across like that but he's far too patient and always waits to land the perfect shot.

    Yeah, he actually is.

    But he's Australian so automatically cops a downgrade in here.
