I think it’s probably Jai’s strongest weapon, his mentality. Jai’s a great boxer no doubt, but his mentality is something else. I’m from NZ so I have to support Nyika, but if Jai was fighting someone else not from NZ I would be supporting Jai.
@@kiliataleiataua634yeah maybe but Nyika won’t lose too much. He will still need to work his way up. Can’t give up the opportunity for a title because it might be hard to get again. Just one loss to another contender means years more work to get back to that position
Breidis was also aging and his division has lacked talent and competition in the last 5-6yrs. Jai arrived at the perfect time. You can't name anyone in that division who's a legit guy except for an old Briedis and Jai. Jai and David will need to move up within the next 3yrs cause there's not much competition in this division and not much money to make for them.
the quoter "don't look past your opponents, don't underestimate your opponents" comes to mind when for Jai. This gonna be a long night for Jai, he's getting pieced up all night sadly
Nyika is going to get it now😂, look at jai wow, his stare is a warrior ready for war. Jai opetaia, power, pressure, ring IQ, terrifying fighter. My favourite boxer, boxing science at its best.

Two warriors face to face with supreme confidence in their destiny! Each one has his own theory of the Future. I asked my son's 80-year-old grandmother to pick up my son from school because that fights is on at 2:00 p.m. in Minnesota. 😅
Nah he’s just driven with 100% belief in what he does Gotta respect him Jais got a great mind set Everything he says is true I feel like nykia is gonna be a decent fight for him He presents something different I feel But online how humble they both are at the same time
This was one of the BEST Face-to-Face interviews in AWHILE. JAI's MENTALITY is DIFFERENT. David may have a trick up his sleeve though. The best to both men.
Jai could sit across the table from and fully convince anyone he’d annihilate a 500lb gorilla 😂 the intensity he brings is unreal see him winning this one for sure 👊🏾
Opetaia's got the Dorian Yate's mentality and attitude to his sport and Nyika's got the Phil Heath attitude. For those folks who followed bodybuilding back in the day.
Nyika look from out side of the ring and what he successfully done to jai In sparring is what gave him the courage to even think he can do it again in this professional level i do hope he can bring some good fights for us to watch on replay because i ain't watching it on dazn ever again
Yes, but let's face it the Samoan/Maori people of Australia and New Zealand are simply built different. Their genetics are different than any other people in the world! They put on muscle mass faster than any other people. Also their recent history has been a warrior/defending people. Every culture and race whether it's African, Nordic, Latin, Asian, Indian, European, Middle Eastern and so on has genetic tendencies and differences.
@@salvitoripopadillo4539 yeah yeah yeah - at the end of the day Australia sent Opetaia to all the major tournaments in the amateurs and is financially backed by Australian businessmen. Nyika owes his amateur glory to the NZ Olympic Committee financially backing him. Culture/Genetics is one thing but Nationality is another. Coming from a level headed Samoan Kiwi. Let’s just sit back and enjoy
Bro the uso fought through rounds with a broken Jaw and won the Title if that's legit a mindset and heart of a true Warrior. Man he's got a big task ahead the uso is the real deal 🔥🔥
I like both fighters, but I feel as though Jai is down to earth and does not mince words. I also give David his due for being honest with his opinion of Jai.
Been watching Dave since he was a young fella in the amateurs, he's a talented fighter and he will take this opportunity and give it absolutely everything he's got. My only concern is that he's still shedding that amateur style and the opportunity has potentially come a tiny bit too soon, but he's so capable of getting the upset, I am really excited for this, Opetaia could even blast Dave out in a few rounds, who knows!! Optaia is one of my favourite current fighters and theyre both technicians. I think this could end up being an up and down technical 12 round boxing match, especially since they're sparring partners. Best man will win.
“I know David, he’s a good dude. But now he’s in the way” haha what a bloke
Jai is one intense person, I love it! Real champion
😴😴
Hellyh bro
“Leave it on your wall..for later” 😂😂 Jai is one of a kind..Lessgo Jai🔥
2 incredible, grounded fighters. Nothing but blessings to both these brothers.
Team Jai all day but make no mistake, Nyika is a legit boxer. No push over. Cant wait wait for this fight 💯
From NZ going for Nyika, but jeez Jais mentality is scary
Light work for jai 🇼🇸, samoans are just built different

😂😂
He's a scary man
He looks like he's going rip someone's head off every time he's on camera 😂
😬🥵
Just another look, like the look Wilder gave Fury 3 times
Jai looking straight through his soul when David starts talking about sparring 😂
Jais just on a different level he's confident without being cocky or arrogant, the way he speaks is just on another level

I feel like uso gets kod stiff like tafa

Nothing but respect for Nykia for taking the fight. I like how he's coming in with a plan but he's not in the same league as Jai.
Maris briedis was a fighting legend, jai defeated him twice, no one in the division would fight maris briedis except jai opetaia.
Breidis was also aging and his division has lacked talent and competition in the last 5-6yrs. Jai arrived at the perfect time. You can't name anyone in that division who's a legit guy except for an old Briedis and Jai.
Jai and David will need to move up within the next 3yrs cause there's not much competition in this division and not much money to make for them.
Briedis would still beat any other cruiser weight in the world including Nyika. Jai is another level up.
Bivol lost to a 39 year old. 😂
@jjsyphor8288 when Usyk was the cruiserweight champ the division wasn't much better, I think breidis was the only other guy so what are you saying
@@jjsyphor8288Beterbiev is 39, at the top of the world…Breidis is on world levels better than anyone David has been in the ring with 🤣
The quote "losers focus on winners, and winners focus on winning" comes to mind....think this might be too early for Mr Nyika
Nyika is a boxing master, people don’t know what he can do in the pros
Dope quote
Nice quote but I have a bad feeling nyika might pull of upset or atleast give jai a war, hard fight excited for it
the quoter "don't look past your opponents, don't underestimate your opponents" comes to mind when for Jai.
This gonna be a long night for Jai, he's getting pieced up all night sadly
@jjsyphor8288 I would be shocked if that happens I predict a back and forth so I don't know about that we will see
Nah there’s no way Parsons is hosting face offs now… 😂😂 fair play parsons
Brooooo, the kid has made it👏👏👏
Man I love Jai! His conquers haki is second to none! A true champion mentality
Hahaha love the one piece reference 💯
The best sit down I've seen yet it was respectful and straight to the point, best of luck to both fighters.

Exactly unless Usyk comes back down to CW.
Jai is winning ! No matter how its done hes going to win. Lives and breathes boxing
I think way too soon for nayika. Jais mentality is a silent psychopath lol
Nah he’s just driven with 100% belief in what he does
Gotta respect him
Jais got a great mind set
Everything he says is true
I feel like nykia is gonna be a decent fight for him
He presents something different I feel
But online how humble they both are at the same time
@@jhuyouknowwho9020You are right, Ive supported Jai for a while, but Nykia is super likeable to. I think it will be a great fight

Good luck from England, Jai. 5th round knockout.
This was one of the BEST Face-to-Face interviews in AWHILE. JAI's MENTALITY is DIFFERENT. David may have a trick up his sleeve though. The best to both men.
David trying to prove to jai who he is 😂 jai doesn’t want a bar of it.
Lets fucken go boys.
May the best brother win.
All that glitters is Gold
Who wins ?.
Let's go💪 Jai Opetaia cheehoohooo Yessah
I've never seen a boxer more hungrier and determined than Jai. His mental focus is scary.
Can't wait for this man
Jai could sit across the table from and fully convince anyone he’d annihilate a 500lb gorilla 😂 the intensity he brings is unreal see him winning this one for sure 👊🏾
Nyika starting to talk like Jordan Thompson😂😂
I was thinking the same 👍. Talk means FA and that is why Opetaia is the best.
@@JohnnyKreed true but I think he’ll definitely be a harder fight than Thompson
Jai will do the same to him but in the later rounds
Nyika talks to much crap , can tell he's going to sleep.

Mark my words like it means anything lol. See you back here after for an apology
Your words have been marked, let’s see if they mean anything after the fight.
@@allikohcysp I dont need to see,I know David by Major Nuclear KO win,will send Jai back to amateur baby ranks 😏
Man I'm looking forward to this card! Well done matchroom
If Jai said there was aliens in the world I would believe him 😤😂
Let’s go Jai!! 💪🏽🏁💯🇼🇸
Jai a different breed, lets go bra! 🥊
Jai has that conquerors haki activated every time he stares, his primal instincts activated to the extreme ready to collect his skulls
Look at his eyes this man means business
Nyika is a beast but it’s 2 years to early for him . Can see a KO round 9 or the corner throwing the towel in
This has the makings of a great rivalry. I can see this becoming a trilogy.
Now he's in the way!!! 🥶🥶🥶🥶 JAI IS A BAD MAN!!! LESSSSSSGOOOO JAI💯💪
Watching Parsons be the interviewer for this is refreshing to see. It gives children all around the world a chance to hope
Opetaia's got the Dorian Yate's mentality and attitude to his sport and Nyika's got the Phil Heath attitude. For those folks who followed bodybuilding back in the day.
The cruiserweight king 👑🇼🇸🇦🇺
Jai smokes Nyika bro comes from a musical background and says dude too much like a California surfer he's not from the trenches 😂
Ok coach
😂😂😂😂
Eff the trenches, that sh!t don't matter. Going for Jai though for sure
what on earth has that got to do with how well he boxes? some BAD fighters are from decent areas
🤡
The best thing I've heard Jai said to one of his opponents (Thompson) "Don't disappoint me!!"
I love both fighters, i believe they're the best in the division.. Jai wins this by TKO.
David has done nothing in the pros to back your claims
Zurdo is definitely 2
Let’s go Nyika🔥🇳🇿
Jai is going to put on a boxing clinic 😤
Can’t see Jai coming second this kiwi contender is in for a softening up,Jai wont be there just to scrape up a win 💪🏼🇦🇺
This kiwi boxer has the right approach if your not nervous you will get beaten respect to him but the win to Jai
Nyika really got some talent tho but opetaia a beast
Yeah he's getting stopped by Jai
David hasn't been tested
Love both these days man I can't pick may the best man win
Parsons upping his resume. Glad for him.
Jai a real one, love nyika as a fellow kiwi but jai really bout that
Opetaia all day 💯
