Man, some matches can be fired up, but embarrassing too. Jai Opetaia made sure to kick, fight, and prove his power recently. Anyway, it is the type of sport. Boxing is pretty harsh and there is no mercy; it’s either you do your thing or you die—not literally, though. In every match, it is the build-up that makes it worth your time or worth watching. Some nights are more conservative than others. Some are heated up. Like this one that we will unpack soon. It was one of those “dangerous” matches, and Jai Opetaia was not playing. Whatever he ate or drank, or however he trained, he was charged up like a bulldozer.
A silent roar: The ring is rendered speechless by Jai Opetaia’s blazing power
When this fight started, it seemed to be one of those heated ones, yes, but not so much. Everyone got to witness some of the most hardcore, fired-up punches that probably made some jaws drop. By the time the match was over and the bell rang, his opponent was just finished, dry and put on the floor. You know that moment when you do not need a distraction or a small talk conversation, but you just need to process what you saw?
Yes, that is exactly what happened. This boxer does not usually make headlines. In fact, he is one of the quiet ones, but it is those we think do not carry power that will wake up one day and just shut the world down. Jai Opetaia made sure to fight his fight. It is fights and headlines such as ‘Jermall Charlo defeats Thomas LaManna via TKO in the sixth round’ that push the boxing game further and make it more appealing.
Jai Opetaia uses a crushing KO to stop Claudio Squeo
Or should we say, he was put to an end? This fight, in my opinion, was brutal. One of the sports journalists expressed disappointment and wondered why Jai Opetaia would be given a tomato can opponent like Claudio Squeo. I do not even think Claudio Squeo saw this punch coming. It was hard and painful, and he just had to let go. The fight? Jai Opetaia was after the IBF cruiserweight title. He said,
“We did what we had to do.”
A breakdown of how the fight went that landed Squeo on the floor
- In the first knockout, Opetaia targeted the body, the chest, the ribs, and the abdominal area.
- He made sure to punch those hard body areas to make his opponent tired and powerless to get him on the ground.
- Remember the tomato can description? Well, this is because Squeo is too short, small, and slow compared to Jai Opetaia.
- In the fifth round, Jai Opetaia hit his face so hard that Squeo landed on his knees, and his jaw was broken. That was a sign to stop, and the game was over.
Opetaia is coming for Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez
“Gilberto Ramirez – next fight, let’s get it on. I’m chasing the belts. The fight is easy to be made. Let’s do it.”
Fighting Jai Opetaia is no child’s play. He really needs an opponent more challenging and stronger than himself. This kind of a fight would stir the moment. Now that he is challenging Gilberto Ramirez, it might not be something that will happen instantly. His promoters need to ensure it is the right decision, and if it is not adrenaline speaking, because it looks like he is hungry for a fight, power, and those titles. However, there is an upcoming event, the LA 2028 Olympics, and who knows, he can feature there too and showcase his talent and passion to be a greater fighter.
