  • Opetaia really needs to step it up now and stop fighting bums like Flanagan. Go to the USA or UK for better fights.

    • Roy, Flanagan is no “bum”. He is a very good ‘journeyman-type’. And Jai is only 22 or 23. But yes, I do agree it is time to step up to 2nd-tier/B-level competition at this point. A legit top-20, top-15, maybe even possibly top-10 type timbre.
