Every Polynesian I’ve met has been a straight talker. No fluff. No beating around the bush. Just serious talk. Opetaia is a G.

Jai's punching speed is off the charts and his footwork is smoother than Michael Jackson. Will take all the belts. Would love to see him and Usyk throw down some day soon!!

[@lizard9437]

@DuncanMacLeod-rf9qg true, though he is like most boxers that can have timing rhythm and distance problems on any given night(few exceptions). Though i think as his confidence and experience build, he will improve out of sight

[@jamesg3106]

What a ridiculous thing to say.

[@randomman9752]

@DuncanMacLeod-rf9qgthat was usyk hardest fight lol what you on about?Did you watch the fight 😂😂.

[@devones9211]

He'd beat Usyk.

[@jamesg3106]

@DuncanMacLeod-rf9qg ​ @DuncanMacLeod-rf9qg So you're now saying Usyk wins? Because when it comes to timing and fighting with rhythm Usyk is miles ahead. Opetaia's had one fight at world level, granted he won but youre basing all this off a very average CV

Jai is the definition of the term "the truth" everything about him oozes honesty!!!😂 his honest power, his honest analysis of the fight in front of him, his honest opinion of his opponent!! Like I said jai IS "the truth" I can't wait!!! He KO's Mairis inside 6 rounds....in my honest opinion 😅

[@Karl-dd4om]

Or he just might get Ko'ed!

[@contraflow8140]

What is it with boxing fans these days obsessed with fighters telling the truth? But yeh people can't even be honest bout their own lives 😂 boxers do their talking with their hands. Its not a fucking lie detector test. They are selling tickets for fights. You lot need to fins a different sport to watch, like woke tiddly winks or something

[@Nateford79]

Yes Jai! Love everything about this guy

[@Andrw_606]

Mairis Briedis had a trainer, Sandis Kleins, after the fight with Usyk, they broke up due to the fact that Briedis was under enormous stress and overtraining. When Briedis fought Marco Huk, he broke his own rib in the fight with his own kick, and this was already a strong sign that he was overtrained.

[@Andrw_606]

When Briedis was preparing for the fight with Usyk, his broken rib hurt and was constantly tormenting him, the team was unprofessional, Briedis was struggling in Spain. The coach forced me to run up and down the mountain where the temperature was constantly changing, and this also led to illness. Briedis was sick for 2 weeks. We, Latvia, are a small country, we did not yet have such professionals as Briedis and Bolotnik, and the coaches themselves sometimes experimented.
