Opetaia is going to kill this man inside 7 rounds

[@KingdomWithin7]

Jai: "losing is not an option for me you know this is do or die" He literally meant it😳

[@Shushmate685]

Let’s go Jai 🇼🇸

[@SOUTHSIDESLIDERZZ]

Jai looks lethal sparing that tall Australian poor guy get smacked tf up

[@tamaaana4477]

Jai is the real deal big up!! Thompson got pressured from the bell and buzzed 1st round never recovered from those straight crosses.#1 cruiserweight in the world cheehoo!!

[@MuffinHunter69]

His body was ready but his mind wasn’t

[@healthymindhealthybody9324]

Wow! Nuff respect to the team who put this together 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 That is excellent work 🏆🏆🏆 Even before the emotional ending it was special, but that ending is real 💯 Jordan seems like a cool guy, but that Opetaia looks like he carries bad intentions

[@emmawillis7823]

Great feature. Will be a good fight for however long it lasts. All the best to both 🥊

[@EnglishRoots11]

Good luck Jordan 🥊

[@p4pking393]

its a dangerous fight for jai. jordan is twitchy and has a big punch. jai has that big fight experience, momentum, confidence. its a 50/50, im buyin it

[@mrhaz8939]

Thoughts on the fight?

[@p4pking393]

@@mrhaz8939 great fight from the entertainment perspective. it was a shock for many u.k people who didnt know jai and were being sold the illusion of jordan as a deontay wilder type of talent. limited but with the magical eraser. i think 2 factors created this mismatch. jai has momentum and the confidence of a champion who has stared into the abyss and came back even better....at the same time jordan came up too many levels and wasnt who we thought he was. jai was decisive, sharp and had too much skill. plus he brought the dog along lol

[@Yongs17]

Don't fk around with samoans! They are warriors!

[@KangaJack-ns9gd]

Had some very high hopes and a great deal to say this Thompson. Haven't heard much from him since the fight.

[@sholaebofin6090]

Jordan comes from a warrior family my 💰 on him..

[@Kingkapisi172]

Oh well that didn’t age well😂

[@ajlngc]

Well you clearly don't know what a Samoan is. Its natural for samoans to be warriors and we are one of many cannibal islands in the pacific. Its a fact we are one of the most deadliest humans if guns weren't invented. I see a lot of brits talking about JTs power 🤣🤣

[@sholaebofin6090]

@ajlngc bloody heck mate your spot on 👌

[@Yongs17]

​@sholaebofin6090 know you know what a samoan is, we don't fk around.

[@sholaebofin6090]

@Yongs17 yeah and Maoris are serious people too 🙄

[@madazza]

Jordan should have followed chess like his parents! 😂

[@BillyTheButcherShannon]

Pat Barrett, Ensley Bingham, Carl Thompson, Ricky Hatton and … Jordan Thompson. Manchester’s great power-punchers. C’mon Jordan! 🔥

Thompson should win skill wise but he’s very chinny

[@BrendanCrossland]

How is he chinny? He went 12 rounds with a broken jaw in 2 places against breidis and won the fight? Thompson be fighting journymen 15-66 records

[@BoxingAddicts0305]

Skill wise opetaia wins you clown Thompson isn’t great technician wheras jai opetaia is arguably the best in the division Thompson no where near. Thompson never been British level let alone anywhere above he has no right to fight for the title

[@britainsbest07]

@@zsk303 he doesn’t unfortunately. He’ll be picked apart, Thompson is class but has a dodgy beard.. but he could just box behind the jab all night
