Could there be a controversial result

Jai better not do a meldrick Taylor against Chavez here…stay out of trouble last round !

I’ve got Jai up one point heading into rd 12. MB found a second wind and rallied. Jai is no longer landing the straight left hand.

would not be upset if i had money on the draw....

7-4
MB needs Jai to hit the concrete

Someone needs to take the mic off the MC while rounds are being fought, the weirdo!

would anyone be surprised if MB takes it?

Controversial result?

yyikes, massively broken jaw for jai in the last round

you could give briedis every round in the second half, my guess jai takes it though

Scored it a draw. First six to Ope, second six to MB. What a fight!

Jai Opetaia has shocked a lot of us. This guy can box.

I think Jay was up either 5-1 or 6-0 at mid way point..

MB bought it back..

But I had Jai winning 115-113 in the end.

a result either way won't be a robbery.

Jai let himself down/

8-4 what a fight to JO

Jaw looks fucked

Hope they give it to the kid he deserves it

jai didnt let himself down at all....i mean you have him scoring a win over the #1

Verrry close. would love opetaia to hang on for the win here. but it could go either way.

1 and 2 close.
Jai won 3, 4, 5,6
7 and 8 close
9,10,11,12 breidis won.

at a guess, i ddint score and those numbers might not be perfectly lined up but thats how i remember it.

personaly i gave jai 1 and 2, so just needed to get 7 or 8? dont know if he did. hope so.

I can’t see how Jai lost that. At v v worst it’s a draw. 115-113 or 116-112 is all I can see really.

Perfect tbh.

Good breakdown of the rounds.

Jaw broke in 2nd round ? Wow…

Jai Opetaia def. Mairis Briedis by unanimous decision (116-112, 115-113, 116-112)

AND THE NEW

i think the entire second half could've gone to briedis, were 4 clear rounds and 2 swings in that half. first half pretty much all jai

i didnt score, but 115-113 jai 'feels' best to me

well done jai, kids a star!

but damn that jaw looked f@cked at the end

Yesssss Big jaisy. I wasnt backing him, thought it was too soon, then he made it look easy for half the fight...
Got caught with a shot that would KO a moose and things got tricky, but was gritty and got through it.

I was saying he should unify next, but after that busted jaw he needs to fight the weakest top 15 available next. plenty of time for big fights later.

Has anyone ever stepped up from bellow brittish levle opponents to beating a ring champ? because jai just did...
