Shame really. There's arguably more interesting fights for him at light heavyweight in Bivol and Beterbiev.

No idea how he’s been making 175. It is a better division. But he’s huge.

He was bigger than Jai last night.

I really wanted to see Jai vs Bert at 200lb too, but I think that ship has sailed.

Jai vs cbs December in Aus (if his face is healed)

Jai vs benividez may 2027 in LA or Vegas

Win use the momentum to move to Heavyweight…
Or
Lose blame the weightcut, move to heavyweight..

I do really like both fighters but just think David would be a little too much.

A poll in The Ring magazine has 57% picking Benavidez (48% by KO) with 31% picking Opetaia by KO (12% points)

I went with Opetaia by KO but I have no clue at all.

I thought Zurdo would school Benavidez but he destroyed him. I don't think I've seen handspeed like that at Cruiser since Sammy Reeson.

But Opetaia always seems to find a way to win.

I really hope this gets made
