Brutally Honest Boxing

@VinnysCorner1 If Opetaia fights him, yes

Does Benavidez become undisputed??

@BoxingEnth Beterbiev. Without a shadow of a doubt

WHO WALKS OUT❓ Benavidez, Opetaia or Beterbiev? 🤔 #BoxingEnthusiast | #Boxing

@BrettNa70273495 @RobTebbutt Agree (with almost everything) there. I do not think Opetaia is best and think Bena will beat him up. That aside you are right. Zuffa need to make that fight now or they will look as silly as many already think they are.

Jai went to Zuffa largely because he couldn't get a look in. Zurdo sat on a couple of belts, avoiding Opetaia at all costs. CBS avoided Opetaia for an easier pathway also. While Opetaia is clearly the best in the division, has been active and willing to fight anyone, anywhere, anytime. Zuffa has been around 5 minutes, so it's hard to say what Jai's signing with them will mean exactly but if they block the best opportunities for him when they may finally present themselves it will surely stunt their growth and see any top talent far less inclined to sign with them in the near future.

David Benavidez on fighting Jai Opetaia: “I think that’s the biggest fight in the world at this weight. That’s definitely a fight that I want… if he wants that fight, we can make that fight… [but] I’m not going to go there to fight for a Zuffa title.” #BenavidezZurdo

@MonteroOnBoxing Hahaaa I see what you did there But it has to be Opetaia. One of them needs to unify all the belts before moving up to heavyweight

Canelo!

@BoxingNewsPlus Of course he is. Just like he was with MJ

🇯🇵 𝐈𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐞 𝐨𝐫 𝐑𝐨𝐝𝐫𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐞𝐳? 🇺🇸 Eddie Hearn is convinced that Jesse 'Bam' Rodriguez is the man to beat Naoya Inoue. 🔗 buff.ly/wAd3yuG

@VinnysCorner1 Benavidez

Who y’all got winning this??? David Benavidez or Jai Opetaia ?

@MonteroOnBoxing @thealbertbaker It should not even need turki ffs. They are the top 2 cruierweights and should meet in the ring.

@thealbertbaker So you're good with Opetaia vs Benavidez never happening because you don't like Dana White? Fair enough, but I expect (want) fighters to call out the best, regardless of politics. Hopefully Turki can find a way to make that fight happen. Money talks.

No Mike, Zuffa came in and disrespected the entirety of boxing. This is what happens when you’re an asshole. Nobody wants to stand next to an asshole.

@RobTebbutt Me too 😂

I tell you what, I’d watch the fuck out of David Benavidez vs Artur Beterbiev at cruiserweight.

@Fade_Cob2 And a couple of rounds every 6 months is? We all now fighters will not do it like previous decades but for a relatively untested, still up-and-coming fighter to be fighting so infrequently is total bollocks. Ya know it mate.

@B_Honest_Boxing So not relevant

Usyk and Inoue both will lose to Itauma and Bam respectively over the next year to 18 months imo. Both have their number

@RobTebbutt Guaranteed carnage too

… and just like that, David Benavidez vs Jai Opetaia is one of the best fights in the sport. #BenavidezZurdo

@Fade_Cob2 So?

@B_Honest_Boxing That’s was 40 years ago lol

This.

@Box2p4pRank @YoungDanielDad There's four good champions at 126. Different sizes, styles etc. If you throw Inoue into that mix there are some great fights

@YoungDanielDad And the guys at 126 still haven’t unified the division.

From Fulton- Doheny 4 fights in 14 months From Tapales - Kim 4 fights in 13 months From Nery - Cardenas 4 fights in 12 months From Doheny - MJ 4 fights in 12 months From Kim - Picasso 4 fights in 11 months From Cardenas - Junto 4 in 12 months

@savagesamparker Different fighter, different size, different styles And so on... But another quality opponent all the same. Totally different fight

@ThrillBoxing If he gets one at 126 (and there are some tough fights there) he will obviously go for more. It's in his DNA

I think inoue should get a title at 126 then go back down to 122.

@brandon_ray47 Eddie Hearn will definitely try to 'age out' Inoue While pretending he is screaming for that fight and how it is the ONLY fight we need to see etc etc bla bla bla. Hopefully Inoue tries his luck at featherweight

@boxing_blue Personally I think it's cos they don't know shit about boxing. But that's just my take😂

Perhaps I'm only focusing on the negative, but there seems to be a lot of people on this app who keep waiting around for Inoue to lose, so they can have a "gotcha" moment. Why are so many against him? Is it mainly bc they can't catch his fights live, due to the time difference?

@Fade_Cob2 So? So he is just not experienced enough for Usyk. I want to see that fight before Usyk is too old or not really up for it. But Itauma needs to fight up a few levels first anyway. Why isn't he fighting every month? Like Tyson was before he got a title shot

@B_Honest_Boxing So?

@Sean_Zittel Both types of fights are possible when 2 elites meet. And this one was the tense chess match type.

Idk about that. Morales and Barrera were two elites. So were Pacquiao and Marquez. It was a high level chess match, and it was tense with high stakes. But it ultimately didn’t deliver the fight we hoped for IMO. #Boxing
