It's actually quite extraordinary the lengths boxers will go to just to avoid Opetaia.
At the same time, they say he's very beatable.
Cool story, bro. Prove it.
what Canelo was for Benavidez, Benavidez is to Jai. Sometimes you're the hunter, sometimes you're the prey. Sometimes you're avoided, sometimes you do the avoiding. That's #boxing...
For those who have asked, these are the chapters in my recently published book.
A thread:
1. The Brawl at the Sydney Opera House (Ken Salisbury v Alex Temelkov Charkey Ramon)
2. Ash Wednesday (Barry Michael v Frank Ropis)
3. A Champion in Any Other Era (Paul Ferreri)
Proper struggling through a change in medication at present, but the arrival of this beauty today was certainly a silver lining. Havenโt put it down yet! ๐ฅ๐
