Opetaia better fight somebody though..can't keep just knocking out fringe contenders.

What the hell you mean "better fight somebody though"

He just fought Jordan Thompson who was a legit Cruiserweight contender. And was about to fight a rematch with Bredis (the guy he the Cruiserweight title from), but the Day of Reckoning was calling. Now the Saudis are willing to work with him for him to fight another contender

This is how goofy internet narratives start from people who don't watch Boxing :laff::laff::laff::laff:

Who's calling for a rematch? If Jordan Thompson is a highlight of the Cruiser division....they got problems.

With the Opeitaia situation you have to remember, Breidis is injured, Chris Billiam-Smith just fought Masternak and has to honour the rematch clause with Lawrence Okolie and both Masternak and Riakpohre both pulled out of purse bids for the mandatory.

I swear I haven’t heard anybody mention Moton until Mayweather hyped him up. He might have been an amateur standout before for all I know but sure as hell a lot of guys automatically hopped on his dikk and booked him as a future great just because Floyd said so.

He might really be the goods idk, but it’s funny af how all these people who didn’t even know about this guy up until 6 months ago now tabs him as an inevitable future great.
He might be more for the pro game but I seen him get touched up in the nationals

ive seen both live...gvozdyk punches harder than bivol...gvozdyk's temperament i felt hindered him from punching to his true potential at times...but we forget gvozdyk ended superman's career
Yeah homie must need to rewatch that fight because that wasn’t the problem homie just got broke all the way down by punches that sounded like they could have come from heavyweight hands.

Jordan Thompson was not a legit contender stop it. He’s British and hasn’t fought any of the Billiam Smith Riakphore Chamberlain Okolie Tommy McCarthy or any of the other top British guys. He had one of the fluffiest records I seen and as soon as I saw he was British and I didn’t recognize him I knew he had a fake record.

Yes Opetaia was his step up fight. He was still a good prospect nevertheless. And I love how so many have overlooked that alot of fighters in the Cruiserweight division were ducking Opetaia for that match, and Jordan Thompson was the only one who wanted to take a chance to fight him

And Opetaia himself was coming back from both a jaw surgery and hand surgery as well

I remember not liking this decision at all
i didnt like either fight with their respective result

tank was so out of shape that he took gamboa into the final round...he couldnt get gamboa outta there cleanly..with shoe and/or achilles issue and got a mercy stoppage

and pascal def didnt win that fight to me even though it was a FOTY candidate
