One thing is beat breadis and another thing beat big Thompson
Thompson by unanimous decicion and perhaps by late Rounds Tko
I’ve seen Thompson fight a couple of times, I’ll be absolutely shocked if he gives Opetaia any real troubles.
Likewise.
Thomspon should fight Billiam Smith not Opetaia. Thompson has faced tomato cans for his padded record. At least at that height – hard to look out of shape at 200 pounds. Thompson is going to school to learn how to fight a top fighter – no chance at all against Opetaia. I will be impressed if he can go over 10 rounds..
This fight is gona be a lesson for those who don’t believe in size
Thompson has no good quality oposition but it’s easy to see his boxing skills
More evidence to what I said in the last thread about these two; How are they in the same weight class? Thompson is every bit as big, if not bigger than Opetaia, yet 6″ taller. I’ll be curious how much he weighs when the bell rings. His size advantage won’t help him much as Opetaia will take him to school. This will be a perfect example of how skills and experience are what wins fights, not physiques.
Silently, the cruiserweight division is getting crowded with great, talented fighters, so, when we look at the names in the rankings, it is easy to conclude that Thompson has been chosen as a very low-risk option for Opetaia’s first defense of his IBF cruiserweight title. After this fight, it could be nice to see Opetaia facing any of the other champions in a unification bout. My choice is Arsen Goulamirian.
I am going against everyone here, I think Thompson will prove too big and strong, and he will win by a stoppage.
How da fugg are these 2 the same weight? Thompson is just as filled out as Jai, but about a half a foot taller. No way.
Well what you can’t see in this photo is the lower body.
