    8:17 - The Young boxers I was talking about were probably a little older than 5 years old tbh, maybe 7-10.

    Loving your work man! Glad someone is giving the man some shine. Aussie fighters seem to take longer to get the recognition they deserve and it’s currently one of the best generations we’ve ever had. Liked and subbed brother keep up the great work 🥊

    I think he'll be Australias best boxer of this century maybe ever undisputed cruiserweight and Heavyweight champ of the world

      That's certainly possible. He certainly has the talent and ambition to do so.

      I think he has a decent amount of ability, I've not watched him as closely but he does seem to bang a bit more than he needs to. He certainly has some natural gifts, speed and athleticism. Perhaps ill do a fight breakdown for his fight on the AJ VS Ngannou undercard as I think he's fighting on that@@ToddHull-n4i

      Thanks man. That's cool, they sound like amazing parents. Really raised him well 🙌. Opetaia seems like a real gentleman that can switch with fierce violence at any moment lol
      . Beat wishes to him, you can tell he has worked so so hard his whole life, he's great for the sport.

    I totally agree that we are seeing a few emotionally balanced fighters coming through that are able to take the good with the bad and want to 'go through the fire' and prove themselves time and time again. American fighters in general have seemed to lost this positive energy in the last 20 years. Great video as usual!

  • @kinglex8919
    @kinglex8919 10 месяцев назад

    A lot of these elite Australian fighters trained at the Australian Institute of sport. This is where they prep fighters for the Olympics and their lead trainer was a European Olympic boxing trainer that’s why they all have that style

    Yes Jai's gotta improve on the inside especially against a tough guy like briedis, broke his jaw on the inside, caught jai a number of times.jai is all ears though, he listens to criticism. Jai's power, pressure, ring IQ terrifying fighter 🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🥊🦘.

    Bivol is a life long 168-175 guy. He doesn't have the frame for cruiser. Besides, Jai I could see running the table at cruiser for a decade and Bivol has unfinished business at 175.

      Yeah , I know. I'm not sure what your point is mate? It's a just a hypothetical match up conversation, it ain't that deep.
