The fight was first class. Two excellent boxers/fighters. Champions. Now to the other observations: ring announcer was not up to standard for a world title bout; I didn't know Joe Pesci refereed fights.
@FatViking93 Fully agree but home advantage sometimes plays a part or backhanded payments to certain parties. Briedis beat Usyk and Usyk knew it at the bell, looked very subdued as clearly lost. Having said that Briedis was beaten by an American but got the nod. Very unusual some of decisions.
@FatViking93 I was a few feet back at this fight in Riga - didn't see Usyk win. Either way good fight. Meant a fighter from USA fighting out of Miami - NOEL MIKAELIAN I thought Briedis lost that fight but like the Usyk fight the expected winner won even though it didn't look like it.
The Samoan is another type of warrior! That alone puts every competitor at disadvantage, and this is facts based on statistics. Weight lifting, Rugby, NFL and boxing! Captain Cook recorded seeing natives boxing and wrestling upon his visit to Samoa.
@@TuatagaloaTeo will power as in long term discipline, there’s some upcoming guys NOW (30 years later) who could potentially be champion. Or is will power to you just pure physical pain? Hahaha typical fob smh
Opetaia is the future heavyweight champ just like my favorite fighter David Tua shout out to the brotha keep throwing those hard punches your going all the way bruh
Don't think so... he's good, but it's a big step up to heavyweight. He'd have to get through Justis Huni first, which I don't see happening at any time.
могли спаакойно отдать бой Бриедису. Проспект выглядел жалко в последних раундах. В 12ом упал в "ненокдаун". С возрастом конечно тяжело но кучу джебов, аперкотов Опетая просто сьел. В клинчах Бриедис выглядел лучше. Молодец конечно.
Feel sorry for the Aussie commenting that Jai lost but not really see how Jai handled the fight. First, for all rounds he lost he still throwed his punches to make up for the points he lost. Secondy, all rounds he showed tuffness by moving forward even if he got hurt. Thirdly he broke both his jaws ,one from the earlier round and the later rounds but still making points. Evenhes worst at 12 round he still throwing punches meaning points. Its enough to convinsed the judges. In boxing, Judges must be convinced with the way you fight. He did. Unlike Pacuiao vs the white aussie Jeff Horn? Clearly an embarrising. Clearly Jeff didnt win that fight lols😂😂See how Jai has grown now? Look at Jai now, even though he won but still waiting for a rematch with Briedis but Briedis cancelled 2 or 3 times already. Unlike those that once they win for an ounce,they run away. He even let go of his belts cos hes tired of waiting for Breidis but fight for the money to support his family?
Fully agree Briedis won the fight was robbed as he was against Usyk. Fought throughout with a broken nose and still won. Good fight and he'll smash that jaw properly in the rematch.
@@ThomasChirnside-k2z this wasn’t a robbery. Breidis slowed down too much after round 3 and only picked it up enough from the 9th or 10th round. Opetaia did enough as did Usyk but Usyk did better against a younger more aggressive Breidis. Rewatch that fight with no commentary and you’ll see what I mean. Close fight but Usyk definitely won just as Opetaia did
How come the ref can’t have a input on who won the fact that’s just a random thought like there in there up close like why not have the ref talk with the judges after just a question
Congrats Opetaia I am so proud of you uso. That was a tuff fight but thank God you made it up to the last round. Best of luck uso and I hope you for the best 🥊😇❤💙
Opetaia is a history in the world now. Fight from his Hart after the 2 round broken jaw. Man his first Boxing in the hole world win the title with broken jaw in 11 round and become the world champion. Man that how the Samoan man all about no retreat no surrender. God bless you Opetaia in the future
Ring announcer is pathetic blood hell he would not even make a town crier, were do they find these characters and that other character ring announcer with the dread locks pathetic, other than that good scrap
Briedis sweeped jai's leg twice, in the first then got a cut on the head cos jai had to move mad because of m,b, dirty work ,and lost out 🎉.I'm only on the first round 😳
Im an AUSSIE but i cant give Jai the win he started strong but the last five - six rounds were breidis and he did more damage as well bias aussie comentators they called every jai punch landing please dont get me wrong it was a fantastic fight but for me it was a draw if not breidis win.
LET'S SAYS, USO, UA KIGAIGA OE, UA E FA'AKALI, 1/4, SOME, GA SOLOMULI LAU KAMA, but, anyway, you got it ! Very close' fight . Aua koe avakua gi aiku I kokogu, God bless .
Very very close epic fight. Two fantastic boxers
THE RING ANNOUNCER, TRIES TOO HARD.
Aaaaaaannnnnnnnddddddddddddddddddd the new!
Fucking overkill announcing...
Yes, showed no class to rub the loss in on Briedis...great fight by the fighters though.
He was great, hard to beat Buffer but that was good.
The fight was first class. Two excellent boxers/fighters. Champions. Now to the other observations: ring announcer was not up to standard for a world title bout; I didn't know Joe Pesci refereed fights.
😂😂😂😂
Horrible isn't he!! I watched another Opetaia fight where he announced...shocking.
I always watch fights without the commentary. You'll notice the difference
Facts, mute commentary and crowd 💪
u true bro,1 comentator was completley for opetaia all fight...
The mic guy needs a new job 😂😂😂
Yeah commentator shutting up would improve the experience considerably
Do I detect a hint of bias from the commentator
This is why it's hard to sell boxing fights in nz on global scale. Because the commentators absolutely suck at commentating lol
cruiserweight champion of the world 😂😂😂
Don't agree
Great fight, but some of the worst commentary I've ever heard
Australian boxing commentators are the worst
@@gene.digger in any sport as well
Jai won but a clase fight . No robbery in my book.🥊
I felt Briedis won but no robbery. It was very close. But I am disgusted about the biased commentary though :D
No chance Briedis won hands down.
@FatViking93 Fully agree but home advantage sometimes plays a part or backhanded payments to certain parties. Briedis beat Usyk and Usyk knew it at the bell, looked very subdued as clearly lost. Having said that Briedis was beaten by an American but got the nod. Very unusual some of decisions.
@@ThomasChirnside-k2z Usyk beat Briedis on my books. I scored it 115-114. Close fight and a fair decision.
Who's the American you feel beat Briedis?
@FatViking93 I was a few feet back at this fight in Riga - didn't see Usyk win. Either way good fight. Meant a fighter from USA fighting out of Miami - NOEL MIKAELIAN I thought Briedis lost that fight but like the Usyk fight the expected winner won even though it didn't look like it.

True, but Samoans weakness is will power. Big weakness.
No will power...lol That is the opposite of what this fight was all about...wtf are you on @Cleatusthemeatus
@@TuatagaloaTeo will power as in long term discipline, there’s some upcoming guys NOW (30 years later) who could potentially be champion. Or is will power to you just pure physical pain? Hahaha typical fob smh
@Cleatusthemeatus what are you talking about? How about speaking in English.
@@TuatagaloaTeo your probably old af and can’t read internet terms today haha kefe get outta here man
You can see why Fury has been sparring Jai in preparation for the Oleks fight.
Yeah but they told jai to leave camp after 5 rounds ? I wonder what happen
I don't see nothing poof
Его стиль очень похож на стиль Усика😂
Aussie commentators have even worse bias than the UK ones. That's a feat right there if u ask me lol😂😂
The guy holding the flag looks like he could take everyone out who is standing in the ring at once.
Unit aye 😂
Samoans being Samoans bro
That was a great performance by Opetaia
Jai “Oppah-tyre-ueh” -commentators 😂
@44:23 Uppercut that breaks Jai's jaw!😬
Мариуш, хороший боксëр, но уже возраст! Австралиец, голодный, опасный боец! Посмотрим, что получится в ринге! Спасибо!
Майрис уш ляжет
Ветеран умудрился выбить челюсть, молодому хищнику! Хоть и проиграл бой! Спасибо!
What
Se kefe
Great fight.Jais got a big heart to finish this fight 👏
Par šo cīņu daudzi pat nezina Latvijā! Esi cieņā kad esi ar savu tautu,bet vari visu pazaudēt stulbu izteikumu dēļ! Žēl...
Opetaia is the future heavyweight champ just like my favorite fighter David Tua shout out to the brotha keep throwing those hard punches your going all the way bruh
Don't think so... he's good, but it's a big step up to heavyweight.
He'd have to get through Justis Huni first, which I don't see happening at any time.
Delusional Samoan 😂😂 Tua was never a champion btw
Tua never won a world title, he fought once for it and lost 😂

Loves from Turkey. Two warrior birllant matchup. Young lion defeat old lion. Ring anouncer very very very bad.

Well done to them both they’re absolutely beats of men
Одним апперкотом, Бриедис забрал 10 эй раунд! Молодец ветеран! Хоть какой-то успех!
Briedis still champ anyway!
He fought his heart out and both fighters are champions
Who the fook was that ring anouncer 😂😂😂
Watching this just before their rematch in Saudi Arabia.
Think this time around will be different
I love this!! Get the Cruisers involved.
Jai could end up at Heavyweight, Usyk vs Jai would be epic.
Thanks for the video
soldier fought with Brocken jaw
WHAT A FIGHT. 💯. jai all.day for me the speed accuracy, footwork,,size difference, to go 12. JAI won .
W
he's 10 years younger though lol.
This fight was to close to call and deserves the rematch
Imagine winning the title and knowing every single fight after that point, your opponent has a broken jaw to punch...brutal for the lad
I just want to see the leaked footage of Jai sparring Tyson
Same !!
Смотрю, проспект, сдулся в чемпионских раундах! Может не дрался по 10 - 12 раундов? Ветеран молодец!
Much respect to Opataia for fighting till the end with a broken jaw but I had Breidis winning more rounds
because you dont know how to score boxing casual
@@terryfaulcer9052 pipe down little man. You have no points therefore I win the argument by default 😁
Fully agree Briedis won the fight was robbed as he was against Usyk. Fought throughout with a broken nose and still won. Good fight and he'll smash that jaw properly in the rematch.

22:30 pun intended - bredis nose jai opetia is world class 😂
Чемпионские раунды взял Марис и это бесспорно!С таким финалом как у Опетаи победу не присуждают!
the speakers love to say "Opetaia"
Ole loko a le kama Samoa 🇼🇸
Congratulations cheehoohoooo let's go Jai Opetaia
Love Jais style, think hes very well spoken also. Give him tp Bivol next, thatll be a fun watch of two classy athletes.
Not even the same weight class
何故ビボル?🤷
those commentators are terrible
9th .brilliant fight .both warriors.
Jai is a mix of Bivol and Uysk with power!! 😤😤😤
How come the ref can’t have a input on who won the fact that’s just a random thought like there in there up close like why not have the ref talk with the judges after just a question
Бой огонь, лайкосик
biased commentators ruin boxing
The commentary was primarily for Australian pay TV.
Jeff Fenech was the co commentator and he knows a thing or two about boxing.
Congrats Opetaia I am so proud of you uso. That was a tuff fight but thank God you made it up to the last round. Best of luck uso and I hope you for the best 🥊😇❤💙
Жаль Мариуша, больно смотреть! Боец, но уже возрат догнал его! Молодые лупят его, ветерана!
Questo è un furto vergogna
Jai “Oppah-tie-ueh”
Good boxing, respect, but imagine few more rounds...
1st round even, rounds 2-6 Jai 7 Breidis 8 even 9Jai 10-11 Breidis 12 was a hit and hope round.. Jai 117- Breidis 114
Opetaia is a history in the world now. Fight from his Hart after the 2 round broken jaw. Man his first Boxing in the hole world win the title with broken jaw in 11 round and become the world champion. Man that how the Samoan man all about no retreat no surrender. God bless you Opetaia in the future
What a fight
685 all around the World ❤️👍
The challenger can not knockout the champion, is a winner???
Jai should of finished him after the hard uppercut. I don't understand why he didn't throw. Ridiculous
just the first two "good shots" endet on the Arms of Briedis? very biases the whole thing....
Boxing needs to go back to
15 rounds
2 warriors give their best, I agree with their decision.
Class stuff
Goodness me what is up with this british amd Australian commentators so biased smh
top effort by both fighters! ring announcer one of the worst on the planet!
Close, but Jai took that. All these robbery comments are killing me like the fight commentators. Two warriors nonetheless.
Одной минуты не хватило Майрису. Очень жаль.
Ring announcer is pathetic blood hell he would not even make a town crier, were do they find these characters and that other character ring announcer with the dread locks pathetic, other than that good scrap
Blinkers on .would have to win by a nockout 😊
Don't just standing there water boy, ice bag round 10 watch !
But bridis still outstanding
OMG! Australia😢
Briedis the Best
Briedis labs!!! Reāli vinnēta cīņa, pārējais tiesnešu ziņā!
Kur tur vinnēta cīņa, varbūt 4 raundi vinnēti un viss
Breidis sleep all 10 round and 2 round win
Интересная встреча! Молодой, голодный левша, против опытного ветерана! Бойцы разные, интересно, кто кого съест!
Simple opponent for bivol
Briedis sweeped jai's leg twice, in the first then got a cut on the head cos jai had to move mad because of m,b, dirty work ,and lost out 🎉.I'm only on the first round 😳
What about jai grabbing briedis arms like they're in a wrestling match lol
Onya Jai, well done.
Briedis bil prosto vishe. Osobenno v poslednih raundah.
im convinced that Jais jaw getting broken was a blessing in disguise and prevented him from getting badly concussed and dropped
ou,left hand from opetaia🤣🤣WHAT boxing match he was watching because there was no punch from opetaia🤣,australians 🤣
But this zepetia plays well, but is very slow. And has poor defence.
Round 4 .brilliant from the fella , 💯
Im an AUSSIE but i cant give Jai the win he started strong but the last five - six rounds were breidis and he did more damage as well bias aussie comentators they called every jai punch landing please dont get me wrong it was a fantastic fight but for me it was a draw if not breidis win.
Open your eyes mate. Jai won that’s
Yeah I agree
ㅎ
I’m not an AUSSIE and I know with 100% certainty that Jai won this fight. If & when they do rematch, Jai stops him. Thank you & goodnight!
@@808shortts lol, it would be one thing to predict a decision loss, but a knockout loss is ridiculous. Based on what? Briedis has a solid chin.
If I was.JIA I wouldn't have worn those gold gloves, so. Visible, he won anyways
Comentery guy do homewok 😅he lives in oz but from. Mate ma tonga jajaha😂
Losses gas jai opetaia
Apart from the fight itself, everything about this video is budget
Jai will Knock Out Mairis in a rematch.
"Theres a cat above Mairis Briedis eye"
Typical of Australian commentaries.Too much pride
Briedis got robbed.. He clearly beat this overhyped Opetaia.. He would put Opetaia to sleep in 2nd fight
why didn’t he do it in the first fight? he didn’t start putting pressure on jai until the later rounds that’s why he lost
Jake would fair well with these guys
LET'S SAYS, USO, UA KIGAIGA OE, UA E FA'AKALI, 1/4, SOME, GA SOLOMULI LAU KAMA, but, anyway, you got it ! Very close' fight . Aua koe avakua gi aiku I kokogu, God bless .
The commentator are bias
Who is that knob on the micro copy cat or what,sound's really bad.knob
Draw or maicus briedis win
Opteaia most likely beats Billam-Smith.
so much for the granite jaw
@Jai Opetaia all yours Butha
