This guy is the real deal and a gentlemen. Look forward to seeing more of him.
He's got those killer eyes. Dangerous man 😅
Jai Opetaia and Tim Tszyu are putting Australian boxing back on the map.
This guy isnt motivated by money i love that. Hes desperate to get it back to Australia.
I’m sure he is to an extent. It is prizefighting after all
Eddie loves that too. He makes money while Jai just fights
Like all Aussie boxers.
Never dodging opponents & fights.
All about legacy.
Aussie boxing on the charge
🇦🇺💪❤🥊
He needs to care about money if he wants to get the fights back to Australia........as opponents aren't going to take budget offers to fly to Australia to fight.........they not only want good money but want a premium to go down under, especially when guys like Riakphore, CBS, Okolie etc have no shortage of opponents that they can fight at home and for decent money.
What a savage performance by Jai, very impressed
This lad is really exciting.Great boxer and super tough.
What impress me was his switch hitting power in both hands and speed accuracy
Gotta love Eddie...representing a fighter and speaking on his behalf incorrectly without having even listened to what the bloke wants 😂
he can fight in his home town no problem but he will be on a fraction of the money if he does at this stage in his career because the rest of the world won't take any interest and won't pay for it
if he hasn't built up any backing anywhere , they can sell the fight to a few of his Samoan mates for a few dollars, Eddie is the guy who knows the business of boxing and has made a lot of boxers very wealthy this guy doesn't have a clue, why do you think boxers like Zhang, Bivol etc don't fight at home and sign with Matchroom, even Canello didn't fight in Mexico until recently for the Ryder fight and he made a fraction of what he would have in Vegas. you cant bring big time boxing to your home town if nobody knows who you are
😂 lol yes but Eddie was right though. Jai needs to go to America or get the Americans to come here. If he says he'll "fight anyone" and wants "the big fights". Fight for legacy and the big bucks automatically come. If Jai wants respect, he should follow what Maloney bros, Tim Tszyu & Kambosos all did and fight in America
He will have to fight in America especially for someone who wants to fight everyone
Money
Jai isn’t just any fighter he’s undefeated and he’s the IBF champ he got that without Eddie to
Eddie nervously sipping that water
I swear he took like 15 sips , probably awkward now because he thought Jordan was gona walk over jai easy 😂😂
And they still ain’t talking about him here and showing the respect. Bring it home Jai 🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
they'd rather watch rugby league players put on boxing gloves smh
Don’t worry all of his samoan people are backing him and following him! Maybe if he was blond hair blue eyed he would get more attention?
From 16 years old winning the silver at the olympics. (The 1st fight with the world champ and they reckon he lost the gold by one point 😅, they should relook at that fight!! Jai was only starting and you could see his opponent getting tired. He had that fight like he will every other!) Since then you see nothing but motivation and hard work! So proud of you Jai and yes bring the fights back to Australia 🇦🇺. Safe travels 😊
He never won silver at the Olympics
He got bronze didn’t he
Yeah well amateurs are only 3 rounds so only getting started don't apply. He's a phenom though .... him and Usyk would be fire. He is like Usyk who understands feints and distance and footwork but with power who also throws weird angles like Andrade or Thurman do, those jumping hooks and lead uppercuts. Yikes fighting him is a nightmare.
Also pretty sure he isn't a medallist at the Olympics even though he took part he lost the first fight with Mammadov who yes was possibly AIBA World Championship winner.
Jai is coming for all the belts I've known jai since he was 15 in the boxing gym and used to call him a world champ back then I always Knew he be a world champion he has the heart of a loin 💪 I feel sorry for the opponents in his way. Thankyou Eddie for giving him the respect he deserves 👏 ❤️
Oh and I know jon jones he's my buddy from kindergarten... lol
Love that
Loin sounds delicious
@@John.Valiant😂 bro it’s not hard to believe man especially if you live in Sydney everyone knows everyone type city
Very proud of you CHAMP JAI OPETAIA! Faamalo le sailimalo malo le finau. You are the greatest and humble Champ, and wishing you all the best in the future. ANOTHER GREATEST SONS OF SAMOA. MAY GOD BLESS YOU CHAMP!
Eddie rehydrating like he’s run a marathon
Very impressed with Jai, he just destroyed a much bigger taller longer reach guy and made it look easy while not breaking a sweat, footwork is another level too, will definitely be keeping an eye on this dude 🥊
Hearn s doing a good thing,Jai s got skills.
His dad could scrap,so could his grand father.
What’s their names?
The eyes tell it all
He's definitely the real deal... maybe the best Australian fighter since fenech
Joseph Huni the way up too
Don't forget Timmy Tszyu! Both great for Oz. 👊👍
@@kjen13Huni lol he’s an average fighter and hasn’t tested himself…he’s been inactive for over a year I think lol
@@michaelkonelio7452he was bout to but yh ur right he has been inactive
JAI IS NOT ONLY A GREAT BOXER, BUT HE IS ALSO A GOOD SPEAKER AS WELL!
Great performance, Thompson welcome to boxing with the " big " boys.
I'm British I backed our fighter but this dude is different class.
Im Kiwi and tbh Thompson still got heaps've potential bro, don't count him out. Proud of the poly boy Opetaia too...wouldnt wanna be around him after a few beers ya know what i mean haha
This guy is going to be undisputed.
Agree
Malo lava le tau Jai. Very proud of you. Le Atua e ta'ita'i oe i ou ala.
Well done Jai. Australia is proud and no doubt soon you'll have a big following from the casuals too. Only the beginning.
erm apart from the fact he's samoan
@@jummalinio2610 It's all good, let him rep both countries proudly as he's done so far! 💪🎉✨
@@jummalinio2610 Born in Sydney with Samoan heritage ya moron. Represented Australia at the Olympics too.
@@JP-md7ue Exactly
@@JP-md7ue this is the exact reason why boys want to be girls and girls want to be boys stop putting one foot in each boat choose a bloody side and get on with it your either Arthur or your Martha its not bloody rocket science... how you gunna be samoan and Australian you either live in Samoa or Australia give credit where credit is due if you don't live eat train sleep in Samoa and Australia gave you all your chops then why you talking Samoa ... your a ditherer neither here nor there neither a man or a woman
This guy got hit with an absolute KO of a punch as he was on the attack and never even wobbled, he just got mad that Thompson landed haha
Almost like david tua, he gets hit but still coming for your head😮
@@lnaf Samoan Mentality lol.
@@MusMasi that's right
Typical SAMOAN SAVAGE💪🏼💯
@ Kingdom Within with a lot of boxers when you see them during their prime days I try not to become a fan until they prove they are real, I was a fan of David Price and Audley and they were not the real deal, but this mother F’er is a bad Samoan, I love his attitude also, doesn’t feel he’s been given the respect he deserves so he’s going to wreck opponents to make their fans cry haha
Like Joe Parker but with killer instinct!
True man but to be fair jp was a killer before the money fame got to him
Would like to see uysk come back down and fight this guy
Too much money up in heavyweight but it would make a good fight.
See how Jai said Jordan was making a huge step up against him
Same applies to him against Usyk it's just a very huge step up if Usyk came back down he'd collect all the belts over and over again
😂
Usyk would box rings around him ffs.
The fight could happen at heavyweight jai has said he will move up to heavyweight if he doesn’t get the big fights at cruiserweight.
HERE WE GO! ANOTHER SUPER STAR WAS BORN IN JAI!!
Top top fighter and old school mentality! Love it!
I’ll say this to all my Australian friends, be proud of this guy. Because in 10 years time you’ll be talking about the greatest fighter your country has ever produced and an alltime great!!
He’s taking out the other the champions IMO! Still needs developing but what a foundation to build on.
What else does he need to develop
nice work Jai !! ..you can go all the way..Go man !!!
Jais stare alone should scare tf outta the cruiser weights 😅
Jai Opetaia is the future! 🇼🇸🇦🇺🔥
He's a beast and will cripple CBS Chris needs to stay away from this bloke it won't end well I like Chris but he gets brutally knocked out
I wouldn't rule out Chris so easily.
@@Smokey2McI would. He’s easy to hit and Opetaia is a heavy hitter. He’ll get smoked
@@jpnottingham5562 I agree he'd be the favourite but Smith is no mug he can fight, this Australian guy is no Mayweather that can't be hit make no mistake about that.
No no no, that was a good performance but CBS deserves his credit too. He won’t go down easily. Btw, I hate boxing fans like you ❤
@@Smokey2Mc”This Australian guy” 😂 Geez mate not too fond of us are you?
Power punching south paw, we love to see it
"Richard Riakporhe also went to the toilet" 😅
jai....what eddie knows is the economics of it. youre a title holder so youre gonna want a million at least guaranteed. you wont draw the numbers in australia to support that. aussies are a hard market to crack if your not blond and blue eyed. go with eddie crack the bigger market. hes done it before and before
Tim tszyu is a mega star in Australia an he is hardly blonde...
@@miguelcardenas8490 its a figure of speech....meaning "not brown skin"
@@p4pking393 victim mentality
@@miguelcardenas8490 reality son. i know aussie culture, ive lived here for 26 yrs. dont be so literal....youll get in your own way
Got to love it.. Wants to fight in Gosford Stadium... That's bloody Stella. I respect it..
He needs to understand the market is over here and not Australia
Bruh Australian's back their own
He's not getting enough kudos in Australia....needs a big event in Australia to get his name in lights.
Disappointing that it wasn't on dazn in Australia.
@Lyricistnz I get that but the market including broadcasters needs to see more from Australia to trust it can promote fights there it's about business and not feelings
@@iffysd9864 kambosos v Haney was huge at marvel stadium, same with horn v pac.
He needs more promotion here, then they'll come.
@@kennedysan1045He literally had Briedis COME to Australia for the title fight, you guys legit know nothing I swear 😭
Some right hand this kid
What a nice guy
Unfair to say Riakpore shat himself, it was down to Shalom not wanting him to fight on another broadcaster.
"Gosford" you hear that eddie , Jai's not gonna let you milk him.
Australian media support jai for fucks sake , Jai's the real deal ❤👌🥊🥊🙏
Come to America Jai, love to see you have a fight here in America 🇺🇸.. or bring someone from America to fight in Australia.. let’s go uso.. 🙏🏽🙏🏽💪🏽💪🏽🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
Jai needs to get that fight at home mentality out of his head because the reality is if you want to be big you need to fight in America point blank period. I honestly feel thats a very childish way of thinking when it comes to Jai wanting to only fight in his hometown. He's a great fighter with great potential but needs to understand the reality of professional boxing.💯
Jai, Go where the money is. Where the money is buried where the most boxing fans are.
Go on Jai,,, love love GB,
Jai needs to go to America or get the Americans to come here. If he says he'll "fight anyone" and wants "the big fights". Fight for legacy and the big bucks automatically come. If Jai wants respect, he should follow what Maloney bros, Tim Tszyu & Kambosos all did and fight in America
he wants the other world champions, none of them are Americans nor based in the US. One is French, one is British and one is a Swede
I think America is the best Place to get his name out there
This guys the real deal!!
Jai would be loving it all coming from Eddie 😂and he deserves it lessgoo champ
Fuckin oath mate you're not wrong
Class act
It doesn’t sound as though they can get anyone to go to Australia to fight him, that’s the problem. Maybe the Bredis rematch 🤷🏼♂️
@@Bobsey I think that’s what this was all about, raising his profile to generate interest and therefore £££$$$
Bring the fight in Aus. Keep improving fighter.
These CZcams "journalists" ask nervous and ridiculous questions. Practice asking a concise and direct question.
Prize fighters fight for money 💰 💰 which will secure their future in a short career….have to respect his love for his home town but you have to go to the biggest venues & location financially
Tell me a video is for ad revenue without saying it's for ad revenue.
First time fighting as a pro in the northern hemisphere, he should probably fight here more so his profile grows. Bilham-Smith O2 at Xmas please.
No Bournemouth please will give CBS some chance lol.
He doesn't want to go anywhere? He wants to fight back home in Australia?! He should be grateful to Mairis Bredis for coming to y Australia where he faced a home judgment. Excellent winner, nothing more nothing less, with a double jaw fracture
I feel Hearns really really hoped Jordan would at least make a good account of himself. Now he'll be looked at as just another domestic level fighter he can't push outside the country.
I would love to see opatia fight okolie
You wanna see The Hugger knocked out?
@@timmygun795saucy hugger 😂
Shalom won’t wanna risk CBS, against this guy…… it’s time to twist any offers again.
Is it me or do I sense a bit of Jai not quite liking Eddie?! Seems a bit weary.
He was looking at him with disgust in the ring yesterday after the fight was awkward he definitely cannot stand him for some reason
He was complaining about how he’s been treated in Uk - shit hotel etc on the George Groves podcast the other day
He’s got every right to be weary. If it went wrong last night he’d drop him like a sack of shit
You're seeing things that are not there.
Hearn tried stitching him up making fight week all about Thompson. Providing a smaller ring etc all things jai mentioned post fight with Eddie standing there 😂
Thompson should retire in my opinion Frank Warren was obviously right to not back him fully in whatever issue they had Thompson looks so chinny
Boxing is not for him
It’s because of Tim’s dad. That’s why he’s superstar.!
Jai forget fighting in the Central coast. Go make the money, then come back and train the kids.❤❤❤❤❤❤
God bless Uso. 🇼🇸🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Eddie kissing ass to keep his pimping going
He looks like hes new Zealand not Australian
He’s Australian/samoan
Yeah this guy don't be playing in the ring.
Their is no scratch on his face is this interview before or after the fight just asking
After the fight buddy, other than a couple of punch combos he didn't really get hit much
Scary looking dude👀
Another usyk in the making in cruiserweight, glad murat gassiev left cruiserweight...
He lost to wallin now
@@israeladesanya4596good fight though not gonna lie very active heavyweights
AUSSIE AUSSIE AUSSIE OY OY OY
Jeff Harding beat Dennis Andries many, many years ago and become something of a national hero. Opetaia is miles better than Harding, so he should be a sporting hero down under in no time.
He was starting to look like Smeagol for a bit 👀
First time me seing this guy last night and I was well impressed. Outstanding boxer
CHAMP, COME TO AMERICA TO GET THE USA FANS AND THE $$$$$ HERE!
monster ,go on bellend come back for this guy lol.
Great cruiserweight but Jordan Thompson was a walk in the park badly matched by Eddie Hearn this guy is 5/6 levels above Thompson. He is explosive to watch but his defence is very open he has heavy hands and his southpaw stance gives anyone he fights problems. Needs to fight top tier fighter to see how good he really is.
Hey Sneaky Eddie you should say this in Masternak’s face, you wouldn’t be so trigger happy then, wouldn’t you! Couldn’t negotiate the fight, fine but now to put the blame on others… Not good, no class whatsoever!
Good luck bringing big time boxing to Gosford 🤣
Kefe ia oe Eddie you f k n 🐍.
We awn uso 🇼🇸 #TeamOpetaia but uso Boxing is in America! America is the Mecca of boxing. You become a star when you conquer America.
He looks a bit like hamza sheeraz
He looks like an e fit
I think he looks more like Bivol
He actually looks like the crazy frog character
if he just wants to fight in his home town then he isnt going to make the money, you will be a big fish in a small pond if the rest of the world hasn't seen him
Rozicki is coming for you!
Boxing isn’t for Jordan Thompson I think he should take up modelling or something
Probably not after Jai hurt his face
They tried to take this guy for a little boy sending in Jordan Thompson lol. Thompson is going nowhere. Riakpore would KO him in 30 seconds
Ent fought anyone yet
A cut throat business…..££££££
Jordan Thompson at heavyweight? Eddie come on, he got taken apart by cruiserweight! An exceptional cruiserweight. A standard punching heavyweight outs Thompson with ease.
Mean Maori Mean
Jai Opetaia to unify the division.
I don't think anyone else in the top-10 beats him.
Dorticos, Masternak, Chris Billam-Smith, Okolie etc.
I think he beats them all.
That performance was brutal, I expected Opetaia to win, but not in such dominant fashion.
Eddie Hearn might know his stuff but what an awful speaker! with a very limited vocabulary and little time for anyone else’s opinion. He may be correct about what is the best way forward but he could have given his fighter a pre fight interview practice, where they appear to be singing off the same sheet. I guess it’s Hearns way or no way! 🙈
Jordan thompson is a horrible boxer
Fight benn
