As a New Zealander il always back our boys but Jai is so far ahead of everyone else in the cruiserweight devision it’s scary. Sad to say It’s gonna be a tough night for Nyika.
Same with us mate! If there's a Kiwi fighter... us Aussies will go for him... every time.. unless it's an Aussie opponent. Jai's deffo a talent, he'll clear Cruiser properly imo... he's head and shoulders above in that division. Then jump up to Heavy... as long as he's managed and matched properly he'll retire a rich man. Joe Parker deserves a chance, instead of being dodged too.
Nyika hasn't even been past 5 rounds in his pro career and he's going in there with the divisions killer... I get fighting for experience and possibly causing an upset but still between Jai and Gilberto Ramirez the drop off after that is HUGE, experience alone Jai has been in there and proven himself
@@word-is-bondboxing890who cares I back the better prepared fighter whoever that may be… preferring Nyika because Jai has so many weak point’s especially in defence… he’s been lucky thus far…
@@awesomeness8206 Jai has been lucky so far..???🤔 this is the comment that I can tell that you know shit about boxing 🤦 stick playing video games son
@ Fair comment, they don’t come along everyday. However, it’s clear Nyika needs more professional experience before he faces someone of Opetaia’s calibre. David is far to easy to hit, and Jai is a very accurate puncher!
@@cavieman136 apparently they have sparred a few times and the guy feels confident enough to take the fight so he must see something there,but sparring isn't a fight and like you said experience could be the difference
@@danielradd111Yep, and that quality sparring will be something which will help David build. Smart professionals will often hold back in sparring and look more to work on honing punch combinations and counter tactics. David is a very smart young guy who I have no doubt will be a world champ sometime but my strong gut feeling is this is two or three fights to early. I wish David well, and to be honest , if he loses but gives a good account of himself then it will do him no harm anyway. Appreciate you taking the time to respond with some thoughtful dialogue 👍
I' m Samoan and it pains me to see both my favorite fighters go at each other. David is a tough nut to crack and so is Jai. I cant wait to watch this fight. Good fight boys!
Nooooo not yet bit too early for David my honest opinion, Jai's a f.... beast & has been clearing out the division of all the best fighters & former champs, as a Kiwi & a huge fan of both Opetaia & Nyika i feel this fight has come two years too early for David as he's still only developing & hasn't fought anyone of note yet in the division so putting him up against the undisputed Champ this early in his career is a mistake think this could've been a future mega fight in the making, still will be a very entertaining & competitive fight, but Jai's experience, skills & power will eventually tire David out & I see a late stoppage to Jai...
Oh no... Nyika time is up!! Louis Marsters shook up Nyika in one their fights..... but Louis Marsters does not have half of Jai's abilities so hope Nyika bring a competitive game, hope is not another Jordan Thompson.
@jjsyphor8288 bro watch Nyika fight Louis Marsters bro, Nyika struggle when Louis applied pressure.... but he was lucky Louis was just swinging away 😂😂 Well Jai applied pressure too, with devastating body shots, plus knocked out power, goodnight Nyika 😴
cinkara broke his heartilage, take away his no.1 ibf ranking. props to nyika for stepping up late call up. have supported the bro since before the lock down put him on the shelf. but this is ahead of schedule for david. but when your shot comes you take it.
Going to be a great start off for David’s career as well, win or lose. Ope is solid on skill & confidence atm gonna be a long time to rattle Ope’s throne.
Let’s go Jai. Jai does well against taller longer opponents. In saying that, Nyika is quality. And is a punchers chance. Hope Jai gets it done all the best
Jai is just a simple lad put any man in front of him and he will fight them no and's, if's, or but's, just a real man ready to fight whoever, wherever, whenever.
Yes it's hard seeing David getting pass Jai, Jai is the real deal looked incredible in his last outing. I think Nyika will give a good account of himself but he's not at the level of Jai not yet anyway.
a huge ask for my fellow kiwi, dave is dedicated and developing into a very talented boxer, no pressure and anything can happen on the night, jai on the other hand is something special, a generational anomaly who in my opinion is developing into an usyk killa if he can stay as hungry. good luck boys GOD BLESS🥊🙏
I support the kiwis hard!! But Opetaia is a beast on another level . Nyika should of had a couple more fights first to gain more ring experience to defend against the onslaught he's about to receive.
As a Samoan kiwi I’m backing both but it’s so hard to see David win this he’s a good fighter I’ve seen most of his fights also Jais fights but styles make fights and anything can happen let’s Go team Jai
Either way David doesn't really lose he has the opportunity to win the title and gain a valuable experience that most guys only dream of and if he's beaten no one can knock him for losing to opetaia so early in his career
10 fights against absolute bums then steps up to the fighter everybody is dodging in the division lol. Jai will feast on poor David, talk about career suicide.
David will have to use his height and reach and stay out of the danger zone... that's the only possible way he could pull off an upset. His defence will have to be far better than what he's shown so far...
As a New Zealander il always back our boys but Jai is so far ahead of everyone else in the cruiserweight devision it’s scary. Sad to say It’s gonna be a tough night for Nyika.

Nykia’s going to get his ears boxed off unfortunately 😏
David hit different going to be good

Nyika takes it! Watch this
It won’t be easy though
I love the way Opetaia says they have been competitive rounds and then Smiles . Skills pay the Bills.
the smile signifies respect in retrospect 💯 something you wont find sitting in your garage drinking cheap alcohol sharing your failures 🙂
This sucks! As a NZ’er Ive been supporting both lads. Hate to see one lose but may the best man win!
Nyika's gonna get mangled. Good on him for stepping up though.
Facts
Nah..David Nyika wins this fight
@@dwight4800 Bahah levels buddy, David's gonna be sleeping within 4rounds
Idk why Nyika would go from 0 to 100 straight away. Kudos to the brother. Kiwi hard but will be backing the uso Jai. 🇼🇸🇳🇿
Let it come to that day
Does Nyika have any Samoan blood?

A nice payday is why he took the fight
Why the hell is David’ Nyika’s management letting him do this so early. I really like David but he is not ready for Jai just yet.
@@cavieman136 My thoughts exactly bro! Not a good move by David's management!
Opportunities like this don't come around everyday and he's got the chance to live his dream and win a world title,be stupid not to take it

Damn, the promoters might be happy, but I hope David is getting a good paycheck. He'll learn a lot, hope he does ok.
Pray for Nyika he needs it
Opetaia going to do a job on David…levels apart and it’ll show on the 8th 🇼🇸👊🏾💥🇼🇸
Going to be a great start off for David’s career as well, win or lose. Ope is solid on skill & confidence atm gonna be a long time to rattle Ope’s throne.
Backing the Aussie in this 🇦🇺 LESGOOO JAI
Let’s go Jai. Jai does well against taller longer opponents. In saying that, Nyika is quality. And is a punchers chance. Hope Jai gets it done all the best
big mismatch, David was fighting a rank 453 opponent 13 months back and a rank 200 and something in his last fight. Now he is facing Rank 1
It’s a big jump
Mannn Jai rarely breaks his focus, if ever.. Jai locked in 24/7 he scarey. Mean fight goodluck Nyika
God luck either way both don’t trash talk and it should be a no BS encounter lean towards Jai win.
Jai is the king 👑 🇦🇺🥊
Jai is just a simple lad put any man in front of him and he will fight them no and's, if's, or but's, just a real man ready to fight whoever, wherever, whenever.
Still a banger of a fight 🥊
The money must’ve been too good to turn down for David. Jai gon’ clip him early.
Damn, Jai gonna smack our kiwi boy back to 2020 😅. Good luck David, your gonna need all the luck 🇳🇿
Let’s goes USO ❤
Let's go
All the best to both fighters..
Looks like a friendly match, and would a good one.
Can’t wait for this fight lesssgoooo
DANG!!!! MASSIVE step up for David Nykia. This is pretty massive.

💯 test yourself while your young
Opetaia in 3
Nah Opetaia will dominate but he's not knocking Nyika out. Nyika will try walk him down all night but Jai is too smart of a boxer for him.
Jai in 5 or less
Finally, some decent fights ✌️
Jai will get it done convincingly within 6. Anything over is just pure heart by Nyika at that point. Jai by KO.
Cool, I can't wait. These are my favorites out of the Pacific.
I seen them spar. Sold my house yesterday, jai gonna make me a millionaire cheers mate
Gona be good fight - support both guys
Yes it's hard seeing David getting pass Jai, Jai is the real deal looked incredible in his last outing. I think Nyika will give a good account of himself but he's not at the level of Jai not yet anyway.
Just be humble boys,the humblest will victorious.all the best and be safe.
a huge ask for my fellow kiwi, dave is dedicated and developing into a very talented boxer,
no pressure and anything can happen on the night,
jai on the other hand is something special, a generational anomaly who in my opinion is developing into an usyk killa if he can stay as hungry.
good luck boys
GOD BLESS🥊🙏
Spewing about this fight. I follow and love both these fighters
2 humble men 🔥 may the best boxer win 🥊🥊
Saw David fight live on the kambosis Haney undercard,with no disrespect intended,
Can’t help but feel jai will be too much for him
Too early opataia is a beast and he is smart professional he is one of the most dangeroos dude in boxing right now
Wow Nyika well done getting a title shot, just gutted it’s against Jai
Who’s David Nike ?
One sided fight.. jai will take it
David gonna get slapped around by jai. He's not active enough. Jai has fought elite level fighters compared to David. Easy fight for jai
100%
A repeat of david tua vs cameron,...not good when trying to climb up tree to see the world. And then tree fallen off😮😮
How Jai demolished Thompson (Britz). Jai will do the same to David. Jai has too much experience.
As a New Zealand supporter it's sad to see them fight because I support both of them,, good luck to both of them, God bless yous both
Humble ⭐ but real talk more confident
Jai will win
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 go well gentleman! World class
Stepping up late against a certified beast in Jai..respect to both fighters🫡
Davids lowkey quaking in his boots
Man its gonna be a tough fight but OPETAIAS a killer hes too quick wont go past 5 rounds Opetaia by stoppage or KO
I was waiting to see who they would throw to the beast, he's hungry and needs a feed.
Nyika is a tougher fight than Zurdo
Jai is going to win this fight he’s an amazing fighter 🥊🥊👊👊
From literary sparring Justis to an interview hectic scenes
Nikya put to bed by the 3rd round, book it.
Bit early for Nyika but you never know, imagine he’ll big a massive underdog Jai is a beast.
Couldn't they have done this in a proper press conference setup 🤦🏾♂️
I support the kiwis hard!! But Opetaia is a beast on another level . Nyika should of had a couple more fights first to gain more ring experience to defend against the onslaught he's about to receive.
All the best bro put God first where ever you go ❤
Damn the universe has made this happen.
JAI to KO David😅😂
Cashing out Nyika already!!?? 👀
As a Samoan kiwi I’m backing both but it’s so hard to see David win this he’s a good fighter I’ve seen most of his fights also Jais fights but styles make fights and anything can happen let’s Go team Jai
This is a classic Aus v Nz! Let’s go jai
No universe brother Nyika just God. He created it💯
Well said brother
How was it created?
@@ambiencelectronica By god
David looks shook, but i hope he holds up alright, Jai aint no walk in the park.
Either way David doesn't really lose he has the opportunity to win the title and gain a valuable experience that most guys only dream of and if he's beaten no one can knock him for losing to opetaia so early in his career
Let’s go jai 685 holding it down for the pacific always 🇼🇸🔥
Politics! Uso show those people? You are, the creator see their secret cup cake! Jai poly time. Uso🙏🏽SAMOA PEOPLE OF THE COVERNANT
not sure your ready david but good luck, 3weeks short notice and underdog bro the odds are stacked lol, good luck to both
10 fights against absolute bums then steps up to the fighter everybody is dodging in the division lol. Jai will feast on poor David, talk about career suicide.
Nyika going to pull out of the fight. Only “stepped up” for publicity
Nyika is a good fighter,but I think is too early for him
ANZAC battle 😲😮💨 🇦🇺🇳🇿💪🏾
The fight i have always dreamt of … Nyika show him who’s the real boss
Ooh this will be a good fight
Awesome jai and david show the fans a mean fight usos
I can see Jai just going to rumble....David for the win and Jai looking at the canvas after David knocks him the @#$#$ out!
I agree with you.....
What a beautiful love story 😂
In there boys 🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿🇳🇿
David for the W
This is a harder fight then cinkara
The uso huni looks like he got some solid shots in😅
Let's Go David
Lets go David and new 😮
David will have to use his height and reach and stay out of the danger zone... that's the only possible way he could pull off an upset. His defence will have to be far better than what he's shown so far...
True jump on that bike and move
One thing with Jai he has great footwork in closing the gaps
@@SinicizedTurknikaya has good footwork going back aswell lol
Let’s go jail 💥💥
I'm backing a Fluke 😂😂
Nyika needs to relax there 😂 dreams are free but. Good for you
I got Jai winning this one, all the best Nyika!
Best fight right now for these guys yea Go the Polys Nz Aus 5:08
Opetaia wins but nyika is a punchers chance ..
Why is Opetaia going back down instead of fighting champions ??
I don't get it
It’s the IBF enforcing their mandatory fight for Jai, he has to take or be stripped
