We knew who he is and what he possesses. In Samoa this kid had his own parade and welcoming. 🇼🇸🇦🇺🇦🇸

“Opetaia ate that punch like it came from a light weight and I thought, Jordan’s f#%ked”😂

The guy is a legit monster. He's skilled, tough as nails, and punches with real spite. Was scary to watch when he started to unload on Thompson. Looked like he wanted to take his head off. Riakhpore had a lucky escape not fighting him because that would've happened to him. None of the other cruiserweight champions are gonna be in a rush to fight him.

He gives me strong Usyk vibes. Not just the thing of being a Southpaw with great footwork, but also the ‘humble badass’ energy. The only thing that stops him being Undisputed is Boxing politics and blackballing. He’s a P4P top 10 guy in waiting for me.

He's bringing those belts to his homeland of Samoa 🇼🇸

When he landed several straight lefts in a row in the first round I knew it was only a matter of time.

I couldn’t believe I’d never heard of this guy, his skills look off the charts. The Bredis fight flew completely under the radar, having taken place in Aus, it might as well have been in a parallel universe. Opetaia deserves fame & fortune & soon.

I was absolutely baffled watching that. I’ve not seen Jai fight before and maybe that’s just down to me being a bit of a casual, but he is a menace 🥶

2 shots to the body in the first rd and he knew he had thompsons number..next punch went straight up to the head and he didnt even see it coming...he didnt even wait to go after him..his boxing IQ is way underrated

Jai was exciting, in and out of range, speed, power and just ruthless. Size clearly doesn't matter. Great to see. Hope he takes over the division

He’s a scary looking dude in and out of the cage he was staring at Eddie during the post fight Interview like he wanted to smash his face😂

He looked incredible. Was landing shots from different angles with ease

He’s very skilled. You can tell he studies guys like Usyk, Bivol, Beterbiev, and Inoue. Throws his power punches a lot like Beterbiev, changes levels and pendulum steps like Usyk, judges distance like Bivol, finishes like Inoue. His only real tests imo are the Briedis rematch, Riakporhe or Goulamirian. He dispatches of CBS and the vacant WBC winner between Makabu and Mikaelyan. Undisputed incoming. Thompson isn’t the best judge of his skills though, he was too inexperienced.

I really like Opetaia. I was very impressed by his performance against Breidis, he was a revelation. A good balance of handspeed, distance control and fluidity. Definitely one to watch. It's a shame that cruiserweight is one of the more unheralded divisions in boxing, lacking fanfare even when it is stacked (as it was during the WBSS) but hopefully Opetaia can get the big fights and continue making a name for himself.

He's finally getting his credit. This guy will unify the division as. Long as they can make the. Fights happen

He’s a special talent I don’t see anyone at cruiserweight giving him any issues and this might be a stretch but I Believe he beats most of the heavyweight top 10

Never underestimate a humble person

He's a fearless assassin. It's refreshing to see a fighter with his kind of determination and forward approach never second guessing himself. Killer instincts.

Jai is a beast, you can see the fire in his eyes during stare down 👊🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for the content

Excellent summary and overview … gratitude

i was really looking forward to what you had to say about Jai Ade

Great video bro. Thanks for sharing.

He the reason usyk moved to heaviweight usyk saw that man coming 😂

When I saw Jai fight Bivol came to mind immediately. 😅

Great card and enjoyed your presentation Ade 🥊

Im an aussie and boxing fans love jai its the fans just outside need to see him more.Ive been a fan of the sport here for about 35 years it seems to be in waves here in terms of popularity. To me like tim tszyu jai is improving rapidly both guys and others coming up here seem to have a lot more support now they can really invest their lives in the sport,well from the outside thats what it looks like. Jais always been slick in and out really fast and fast hands and now he looks like hes added a viciousness to game that was his most vicious performance yet and yes thompson doesnt have the experience but he can clearly bang and is huge so to come in and out like jai did and land bombs like that was impressive

Very good boxer. Good engine n punch selection

The brothers amature profile is impresive too...

Top channel ADE oladipo, Jai's power, pressure, ring IQ, terrifying fighter 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🦘. Great rap, breidis tough as nails, jai smashed his nose, jais foot work is brilliant. Anyways luv your channel.👍👌🦘

Opetaia is tough and not an easy guy to beat..hes got that toughness of a real Samoan warrior, he has Polynesian blood in his veins and won't give up easily😀 blessings, love and prayers for the gentle uso an ambassador for both Samoa and Australia..watching your channel from the islands and God bless🙏

Opetaia makes a lot of noise in boxing world today

Jai’s not a small guy, he went to my high school. Seen him last year when he wasnt cutting im 6’4 & he wasnt much off me. I think he could clear out the cruisers & move up to heavyweight quite comfortably if he wanted too

He has monsters mentality, that silent killer just like inoue... big fan of bouth

Watching Opetaia vs Thompson, gave me an eerie flashback to when I sat in Wembley Arena watching Thompson vs Haye back in back in September 2004, only difference is that Haye was the more skilled fighter that night but ran out of gas attempting to bludgeon the Wiley ol' "Cat" Thompson.

jus watched him for the first time 5 min ago and OMG that’s a terrorizing man

Thompson should never of been in the ring at this level, Opetia beats everyone in the devision in my opinion know ones skill level is even close, Okolie, Smith, Riakpore, Chamberlain, Jack not on the same level. Cant wait to see the fights though.

Check out Paulo Aokuso he’s another young Australian fighter similar to Jai and will win a world title.

Absolute weapon.

The problem always with the Cruiserweight division is that if your the best going the next weight class up is too much of a jump as heavyweight are so much bigger. But now we do have the bridger weight class.

I remember recommending Jai to you as Sparring for Joshua in the first Usyk fight haha 😂

Opetaia reminded me of other great southpaws with great movement. I think Thompson will be okay... took punishment but wasn't flattened. I hope he gets a good chance to build/rebuild.

There's a reason Fury just hired Jai for sparing to get ready for Usyk.

"IT'S IN HIS ",DNA"🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸😍😍😍😍

He's very good. A beast 💪

Me to I never heard of Jai until he fought bredis

Cruiserweight is so difficult to judge historically because it has always been a super weak division. To think that guys like Gassiev and Michael Hunter were elite Cruiserweight is an example of this.

The Uso got power fr fr!!

There’s something really fucking frightening about that guy. He’s a dangerous man. He’s one of those guys I just can’t see ever losing! A more violent version of Usyk. Not saying he’s as good. But, he’s similar!

Opetaia is a far more exciting fighter to watch than Usyk. Let’s be honest.

Remind me of peak young savage Mike tyson speed power fire in belly movement. Noticed he's switch hitter southpaw .

Very impressive performance think Jordan Thompson should never have been in the ring with him in the first place. He is very open with his defence but explosive and definitely a top elite fighter.

Great chat and take on the fight! Jai should be a superstar but only 70k followers on insta and people are only just hearing about him. Its weird hes not a bigger name but maybe thats from being from down under? Either way, wishing him all the luck. He seems like a good bloke too.

Commeth the hour cometh the Man.

Jordan Thompson should go and join an amuture gym....! He aint pro level !

Tony Sims said at end of 3 they would give him one more round x

I do wonder if we are getting carried away here. He’s good. Very good. However, all the other current Cruiserweight champions beat Thompson quite comfortably too imo. This was a showcase fight and we saw Jai do his thing against an opponent levels below. The Briedis rematch is quite intriguing- and will tell us a lot.

Jai is like those scary guys you get in them austrailian outback movies 😅

him vs usyk would have been a mega fight

I was very impressed with Opetai's performance! I hope he now gets to keep wheels rolling with his career - be active and fight regularly. Let's also hope that the other champions does not duck him.

If it hadn't been a title fight Tony would have stopped it I'm sure. Ultimately, fighters aren't like the rest of us, and they assume a big level of risk that most wouldn't be comfortable with. He may never get another opportunity like that, so to explicitly say to him "I'm going to give you one more round" is perfectly acceptable IMO. I'm sure the towel would have come in had the ref not stopped it. As for Opetaia: he's absolute mustard. Fan-friendly too. He should be a star.

he gonna b a holyfield, uysk type heavyweight

Jai opetaia is a deadset fukin weapon he will destroy every one in the cruiserweight division and believe me he will not only take over the heavyweight division but dominate and reign supreme over everyone straight killer instincts straight up Samoan power with an Ozzy twist baybeh

Hopefully they won't do the same thing they did to tua. Everyone avoided him. "IS THERE ANYONE ELSE".💯💯💯💯💯

I’ve only seen Opetaia fight twice & he’s impressed the hell out of me. Jai Opetaia is the real deal, an absolute monster in the ring, he will clean up the belts in the Cruiserweight division & will no doubt move up to heavyweight.

Evil Bivol

Just seen that fight against Thompson and Jai Opetaia is going to be a problem. Dude looks like he fights pissed off at the world!

Is Breidis an afterthought now? I love CBS and went to his world title fight against Okolie thinking it was unlikely for him to win, I think Breidis on his best day beats both men?

The guy is a skillful aggressive boxer and possesses a deadly left hook that makes him a one-punch ko fighter. Who does not want to pay money to see this kind of fighter--every fight he shows up. He is a combination of Usyk and Bivol but with a left hook.

No one with a name will test themselves against Jai Opetaia.

Bertebiev vs jai would be nice to watch

Jai has yet to hit his peak, imagine the damage he will do with more ring time under his belt.

When jai makes it too heavyweight smh….he is a problem ‼️

Reminds one of the great Joe Calzaghe

So, does Tyson Fury get this guy as in as a sparring partner for the Usyk fight?

Jordan Thompson looked huge.

David Nyika is another good cruiserweight under the radar

Speed accuracy and decent power. He could dominate cruiserweight

He's a professional fighter. They need a fighters chance. You can't stop it after 3 unless it's a knock-out.

I train where he trains on the Gold Coast. Seems like a top bloke. Absolute animal as well as technically brilliant. Will be undisputed I think if he can get the fights

chev clarke vs viddal riley is a great fight

I think chev Clarke is all hyped

In a few years Jai will step up tp heavyweight and will also dominate the division.

Boxing is Jai's hobbie...he loves Fishing 😂😂😂

Boxing needs guys like Opetaia breaking through to renergise it.i watched a dreadful card on Sky earlier on saturday and turned on my recording of Opetaia on Dazn straight after and boy was it night and day. I got that electricity shoot through my system watching Obetaia seek and destroy just like when I watched GGG and Mike Tyson for the first time. I can't wait to see where Jai's talent and savagery takes him in the coming years.

He looks like a light heavyweight

Opetaia would F Bivol up

Jai proved how tough he was against bredis . Completely out boxed bredis for the first few rounds , bredis is a champ , never gave up and came on strong after round 6 , broke Jai jaw , but Jai wouldn’t quit ! Jordan Thompson was a lamb to the slaughter, set up by Eddie Hearn !

Fury is calling him for sparring

I think all the champs at cruiserweight will be too scared to unify with Jai Opetaia. Not to mention the boxing politics with CBS being with Boxxer.

Opetaia was aggressive and knew how to get in range and break Thompson down. Thompson though could of used his right straight better having a big reach advantage

Jai destroys Bivol . Takes his will away

Artur beterbiev moves up and walks through him to become cruiser weight king

Questionable match making from matchroom

Hes my fave boxer right now .But because of his style he can get caught .Briedes broke his jaw twice which in a strange way saved him cos his jaw was no longer connected to his head so impossible to knock out ..Jai wants to move up to heavy weight i think hel be world champ if he does

what about Bivol vs Opetaia? Oh BABY

I'm still a little worried about Jai's defense. Maybe it was a lack of respect for his opponent but he seemed to leave himself open to be hit. Otherwise he is definitely a problem.

If your not havyweight your not beating this guy

Olympics at 16yrs old

Australian don’t appreciate him enough
