#EddieHearn #JaiOpetaia #Boxing - Спорт
A refreshing and respectful character with bite and no bark.
‘I came to earn respect, not dis-respect’ - Jai Opetaia
You know his mental toughness is next level if you’ve broken your jaw and go on to win Samoa/OZ power
Fr
Samoan power Ozzy tika what a mix
None of the other champs can trouble this guy at all, what a beast!
Agree jai will be undisputed
💯AGREED
Zurdo has arrived only the Mexicans can rival these aussies.
Hold our beers 🍻 😂
@@ultrainstinct63let’s see how he does against Joe Smith but if Bivol can give him fits I’m sure that Jai can as well
@@ultrainstinct63lol he’s just a big dumb bozo
No skill
Jai will fk him up
My god, I'd hardly heard of this guy. He's brilliant. Respect both men.
Jai is the real deal.
He really isn't
@kairau1519 yea why? Lol
Man Opetaia's stare can do damage alone
Melttttttt!
I think people take for granted what Jai said in the face off ..
“ I fucken Love this shit “
Believe me when I say the bloke lives and breathes boxing, it’s all he does. His performances show that.
He looks like a killer
@@torettomalachi2248how does his tip taste
@@YTTRUTH91 taste like success 😂
I said it from day one this guy is dangerous just look at him.
I don't think anyone in the division can beat Jai.
Jai looked at Hearn like Eddie owed him money😂😂
Just gained a fan in me first time I ever see This guy what a talent what a fighter
Jai looked like he wanted to murder Hearn. If couldn’t hear what he was saying would think he was slagging him off based on Jai’s face 😂😂.
Thompson took a hammering. Congrats to Opetaia. A unification fight with Smith would be great next.
Future undisputed cruiserweight champ, and future HW champ right here
Toughest Australian boxer there is. What a beast...Thanks mate .
We in Aus have supported Jai since the olympics. Jai is a beast and if noone wants to come to Aus to fight him, he will go to there.🥊 Alofa Aku uso. Still remember the hand wraps you gave me at Southern Cross gym Ctown. I always tell my little family about it 😅🙏🏼
Just sucks that the likes of Tszyu, Huni, Zerafa,Hardman get most of the clout and it took guys like Jai and Kambosos to win world titles to then get recognition the Australian public doesn’t get to see their growth as much.
@@johnskiezzz9082
Yeah, No limit promotions is taking over.
Jai is with Tasman.
Jai was thinking: Ya made a mistake, making it a small ring made you closer to me.
David Benavidez may be the "Mexican Monster" but Jai Opetaia is the "Samoan Savage"💪🏼💯
benavidez would most likely eat opetaia alive, and im from AU/NZ while also being a big opetaia fan but benavidez is on another level
@@8029xlet’s be real Benavidez is an oversized super middleweight who relies on breaking down his opponents by throwing a lot of power punches, using his size to close the ring off. Put him in there w guys the same size and w more power and he struggles.
Well done uso we need to be careful with our tuneups because others are watching and learning from you. Alofa atu uso your people are very proud. Be humble with your words and actions inside and outside the ring. Let your hands do everything else.
What does USO mean?

Yessah congratulations let's go Jai Opetaia cheehoohoooo
Bivol vs Opetaia is the fight to make.
Bivol is Lightheavyweight and is focused on clearing out his division and potentially only moving down to super middleweight
Exactly what i was thinking 😂That'll be 🔥 both light on there feet and 💣 on their hands. But the reality is it won't happen 😂
Those eyes man, he looked like he was still on for ripping Edwards head off at the end of the fight lol
Yeah. They tried to stitch him up with the small ring & made it the Jordan Thompson show. 😂
Looked like he was having an ancestral flashback 🙈😂 ... feckin scary
🤣😅🤣😅🤣😅 very true
@@Steve0272. Dude he is Samoan lol no flashbacks
you're a hero in Samoa uso!! don't worry if they don't put respect on your name in Aus. Because always got Samoa behind you
Mate Australia loves the bloke don't let steady eddy Hearn tell ya different, Jai and Tim are going to take over their respective divisions, Great Aussie Boxer 🇦🇺👍
Stop talking nonsense 🤦♂️ his mums also white you fool
No one cares about samoa
@@YTTRUTH91 Come on mate there's no need for that banter.
@@YTTRUTH91no one cares about you 🤣 Tim tszyu the email champion..?
I was following Jai wondering who gonna shine the light on this guy
Thank you Eddie Hearn
Jai deserves it.Hes that guy
Less bark Big bite.
Can't see anyone beating him
He can be usyk one day and Tyson on other days
Great fighter exciting to watch
One of the best this generation
he is Australia's best boxer atm but dosen't get the recognition he deserves. Glad he's stamped his mark in the UK which will hopefully bring better opportunities and fanfare his way.
Man’s 22 chill
@@R_W103he’s 28 bro
I swear Jai could knock Eddie out for saying such good things 😂😂
No doubt Jai is a beast day 1 fan❤
King Jai Opetaia came to say Hello (Adele's voice) to England 😳🥳🥳🥳 Respect 💥💣
😂😂😂
Eddie Hearn is a master at glazing, incredible skill !!
Eddie has the best CW and a gold mine in his stable. He destroys CBS 🥔
Keep up the good work Jai. Congratulations and continue working out. Please don't take any fight lightly. GOD bless you Jai.
That's what fucking happens mate! Strong performance.
CBS should send him the belt in the post…
Hopefully they don't make CBS go through with that rematch with Okolie and those two can fight. No reason not to.
Zurdo beats them all
@@ultrainstinct63😂😂😂 Bivol put hands on Zurdo and Jai is quite literally the bigger version on Bivol so what do you think is going to happen
@@ultrainstinct63 Zurdo got found out against Bivol. Same thing happens with Opetaia
@@-TheSweetScienceworse since opetaia fights in the inside well and outside and hits harder reckon he is slower bcuz of weight
Congratulations uso Jai Opetaia ❤❤❤
Great stuff Jai. I'd like to see him just stay busy even if it's non title fights, sadly he he's fought so infrequently over the years he doesn't have the profile (and earning power) that he should!
Congratulations Jai .. from Australia (saw you win NSW heavyweight title in 2017 Norths Leagues Cammeray). Faamalo.
This is guy's stare is deadly.
Eddie hearns undermined jai he tried to base it around Jordan put respect on jais name immediately!!
Jai is gonna be a problem for all the cruiser weights.
He already is
Yes 🇼🇸 💪💪💪💪💪❤️
Can't even get full fight here in Australia, support Jai , for fucks sake, 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊👌🙏
Let’s oge Jai good work, train hard fight hardd 🇼🇸🇦🇺
Poor old Chris Billam. I don’t hold much hope for him! Does anyone give him a chance against Jai?
Nope .
HeLL NO!!
I want to see Usyk relinquish the belts and drop down to cruiserweight for this fight
What a fight it will be ♟ at a high pace
💯
Won’t happen
And still….Opetaia 🇼🇸💯
What a masterclass
Respect
He's supposed to be the outboxer right? But ohh boy he battered the hard hitting Thompson. You can see he's a little bit frustrated coz they want Thompson to win and they give him all the advantages like the ring but ohh boy that backfired coz Jai got massive power.
Jai v CBS let’s go
"And thats what happens" haha jai the king
jai levels above
Good on you mate, boxing a very dirty business just keep your head together and focused let them try to set you up to fail just rise above it
Fair play I like him no BS
I've been saying it since his last win that he beats Badou Jack.
He beats every current cruiser weight champ with ease in my opinion
Jack the Ripper
@@-TheSweetScience I remember saying this last year and getting roasted for it.
@@MarkWhippy The current cryiserweight champs are pretty weak imo. Although, Ill admit ive only done my research on Jai since this fight. Its ashame its taken this long for him to get decent coverage
@@-TheSweetScience in a way I’m glad, I think he’s come up at the right time. He competed in the 2012 Olympics as a 17 year old against grown men. But he was out for a bit with some kind of injury, then came back up in the Aussie scene in the last couple years. Even in Australia he was flying under the radar.
Billam Smith gonna demand it in Bournemouth and jai has to wear lead boots. Or boxxer will convince Smith to duck just like riakphore....this guy is about to be the most ducked man in boxing
❤❤❤
Solid uso Jai..Samoa all day USO 🇼🇸
Hearn is right, but shamefully most Australians won't know who he is
They will 🔜
@@hvacfitness6649 but they don't - he holds most of the titles; Paul Gallen and sonny bill are more known
It's different when it's a pacific islander in Australia, watch how they claim him when he becomes famous in the world. Same thing happened with Jordan Mailata, not much media coverage but as soon as he signs USD 60+million dollar contract they claim him. Islanders are only Australian when they succeed and are famous but if they're naughty and are troubled teenagers/adults they deport them back to their parents or families countries even if they were born in Australia. I'm talking from real life experience and what I've seen living in Australia, don't get me wrong I'm not upset with Australians, I love this country however just stating the facts. Born and raised in Brisbane Queensland and not once have I been recognised as Australian, always get the "are you from NZ?", or where are you from ?, bet if I become famous, I'd be claimed as an Australian. The same thing happened when the Panthers Samoan rugby league players chose to play for Samoa, these boys would've been brought up the same as me and would've been looked at the same as us but because they're famous they're expected to go against how they've been viewed and treated as foreigners and pledge their allegiance to Australia. On one hand they want your loyalty when you become famous and on the other hand they don't want to know you if you're not famous and Jai Opetaia and many others fits the later, you watch when the world starts talking about him and he becomes famous how quick the Australian media will be to claim him. Again no heart feelings against fellow Australians I'm used to this and have lived with this all my life just stating facts and not to be surprised when these boys claim their heritage because that's all they've been known for even when we're born and brought up in Australia, we were known as samoans in school and everywhere we go. When they ask where you're from, it's not where you were born but where you're originally from but if you're famous it's no longer a factor where you're originally from only being born in Australia matters, double standards that I'm used too. They want you but only if you're famous hehe
@@alamai7799 - bud, I love this post; You are 100% correct;
We've done it to Italians, Greeks, Vietnamese, Chinese and any other large migrant nation; but none of these other nations have had the level of success that Samoans have had with Sport in Australia (the South Sudanese kids are now having success with basketball now though)
I work with quite a few guys from the islands in construction and I've started to understand the culture and get a grasp of the subculture here - but I'd be willing to bet that most white Aussies already have a level of bias and just look for some excuse to reject them - mostly out of fear and their own ignorance;
I think there'll be a day that we truly start embracing our multiculturalism, but I feel like places like inner QLD, you're already on the backfoot; then you get some talking head from Sky News telling them they should "Go back to where they came from" (Dawn Fraser literally said that about Nick Kyrgios on channel 9...)
Anyway - Jai is a fkin beast; He's only 28 and one of the best Boxers Australia has ever produced (Tim is looking good and just got the WBO, but unproven imo still)
I'll gladly claim him - I just hope he gets shots at the other belts, coz I can't see anyone else challenging him in the division
@@alamai7799💯 uso!! Australia is undercover racist country, media.
Just speaks his truth. Lessgo 🇼🇸 🇼🇸 🇼🇸
Lessggooo
Just loook at his eyes in the thumbnail it’s done
Beterbiev v Opetaia would be insane.
🎯
CBS vs Opetaia
Both deserve it.
I back Jai
But CBS deserves the opportunity.
You certainly won respect Jai, congratulations great fight and love the no nonsense honesty, total class. But if advice, whatever you do, don’t make the same mistake Joseph Parker did. Stay away from Tyson Fury and Frank Warren. Joe Parker was a HW contender before he got mixed up with them.
FLIPPING VICIOUS GUY
FAIR PLAY
MOVED IN LIKE A TANK!!
You seen how tanks move? 😂

I think a fight with 0koli after he wins the rematch , Is very more likely
Eddie better pay jai😂 the way Jai looks at eddie 😂 billam Smith 🥊🥊bring it on😂
Samoa built different 🦍🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
i wanna see him vs badou jack
Jai would box him, make him miss tire him out then knock the shit out of him.
Blunt.
But he really MAULED Thompson in there...
Lets Go Uso!...😀😀😀👍🇼🇸
Chris billam isn't muchnof a challenge... what doesn't he move up
The only person beating him which im surprised he bottled it is Riakorope
Hearn wanted there boy to win he’s the promoter he set the ring up
Why wouldn't he ??
@topfuelteddy and what happened Goliath got fkd up! Don't mess with samoans!!
@@Yongs17 And what happened when Tua fought Lewis ? Don't mess with Brits .
Opetaiaaaaaaa 👊🥊💪🇦🇺
feet like muhammad ali.. fists fly like iron mike.. strong as a bull.
Mean uce
Jai vs Paulo Aokuso would make a lot of money in the near future.
Jai too good for paulo. Gas tanks are different.
different weight classes unless aokuso goes up in weight
Different weight classes . We don’t want the usos banging . Rather run their whole divisions
We don’t wanna see usos fighting 🥲
All i can say uso is, just be patient and take your time, you'll get there..fyfylemu ou faiva uso, ou māmā ga ❤️ 😍
Would love to see Jai vs Jake Paul, make it happen
True so jai can expose Jake Paul's bald head
Bring the belts to Aus 🇦🇺
Chris Billam Smith would give him a proper fight
He’s a bitch jai will end him😂😂😂
He stops cbs
Zurdo beats them both
@@ultrainstinct63 zurdo got outclassed by Bivol. Opetaia fights similar to Bivol but has more power. Rd 9 k.o.

One day Viddal will fight him
Well done Jai ...from.

Jai Already Beat The Best Cruiser Weight. UK Boxers Will Be Easy For Him. Boxers Are Making A Living Beating UK Fighters Especially Mexicans
Meanwhile uk have 10 world champions and is 2% the size of Mexico 👍 we also have more fighters in the hw top 10 than any other country on the planet
@@onlyinthailand88
After Usyk is done with Fury there will be no more UK heavyweights. UK boxers only have a belt until they fight someone outside the Uk
@@HatersHaveOpinion1 🤣 usyk who lost 4 rounds to chisora and arguably got stopped in his last fight , keep dreaming pal 👍
@@HatersHaveOpinion1 🤣 fury took EVERY belt off champions outside the UK 😂 in there own country!! He's took all them same belts off a Ukrainian already and he's about to do it again 🤡
Who’s he beat from UK?
Jai 1 - British crowd 0 mouth shut 😑 😒 😂😂😂
LOOOL at hearn throwing CBS under the bus .. no shame!!
Hearn is becoming a don king. He was overhyping thompson before the fight.

Jai knew the event was set up for him to lose. SMH
