Opetaia already left Fury camp after just 5 rounds

Short answer - neither are a good fit for each other.

 

Its sparring.

 

If this guy is bashing up SHW's he needs to be fighting at HW where the money is.
I wonder why he isn't doing that?
Someone needs to send him a message and tell him about the HW division ASAP.

 

The truth will be revealed on Feb 17.

 

The given explanation doesn't really pass the sniff test when you think about it; it was hardly a secret the majority of Fury's sparring opponents would be southpaws given who he is facing, so if Opetaia wanted orthodox sparring experience why did he make the effort of flying to Saudi Arabia in the first place, just to spar five rounds and then leave again?

 

because he agreed to it before the Breidis fight presented itself…..

 

I think he always knew he was going to fight on one of the next two Saudi cards.

 

Yes but now he’s had it confirmed he’s fighting Breidis…. Who is orthodox and one of the very top dogs of the CW division.

Fury is fighting Usyk so the majority of his sparring partners are Southpaw.

Hence it now not making sense for Opetaia to hang around in that camp where he can’t get the correct sparring ahead of such a big fight. He made the right decision.

 

Why do I have to respond to his threads? I’ve put him on ignore so I don’t see any of them anyway. Rumours are rumours and sparring is sparring - this is common knowledge in boxing.

Gorman supposedly leaves up Dubois in sparring but when they fought what happened? Dubois absolutely annihilated him. There were rumours Dwejtko dropped AJ badly in sparring, Price did as well (that one is confirmed). Does this mean much? Absolutely not, AJ would beat the pair of them on the same night.

I get you don’t like Fury, I’m supporting Usyk in this one as well, but this thread is silly. I’m predicting a Fury win but I’ll be here if I’m wrong (which I could very well be).

 

Even if the rumours are true, they mean little. Sparring is sparring and does not determine who wins a fight. There were rumoured Joey Dwetjko dropped AJ in sparring, does that mean he would win in a fight? Absolutely not.

 

The only southpaw near the top of the CW rankings is Zurdo Ramirez, and it was never mooted Opetaia would fight him. Again I think he always knew he was going to fight on one of the next two Saudi cards and he knew it wouldn't be against a southpaw opponent. I'm not saying I subscribe to the rumours Opetaia dropped Fury and was kicked out of camp, it's just odd Opetaia would make all that effort to travel to Saudi Arabia, spar for a day and then leave again.

 

Fury camp is also probably all southpaws.

 

Strong rumours? Lmao, started by random people on Twitter.

This is the guy who broke the news that Opetaia had left camp. The only reason this rumour about Fury getting dropped started is because of dumb ass people in the comments.
