Likes to lean out of range to miss a shot and come back with counters he has to be very careful that he doesn’t lean back into a shot abatay is a perfect prototype of a southpaw sniper I mean he has a like you said a beautiful bounce
And a rhythm to his uh lower body his footwork and that that creates openings you know he doesn’t always need to be fainting it’s that nice little bounce that he has that Southpaw angle that actually intimidates opponents like like Zoro you know they don’t know when he’s
Going to pounce and come with that straight left hand yeah that presents an added dimension of difficulty for Zoro already a golfing class in terms of the opponents that they faced but he’s never been up against the southp in the professional yeah the faints the head movement always moving has brilliant
Variation with that left hand you see him there come w with the shot has to make sure that right hand’s tucked higher Zoro the crowd sensing that that left hand from upper tire might be the precursor to something more detonating it definitely is going to be detonating sooner or later because the
Alternates it from a straight left hand to the chin he turns it around to a hook just like he did there and he also throws it downstairs to the body you know so it comes from every angle and it’s very dangerous at all times just like that beautiful shot
He always changing the levels with his shot and it makes it very difficult for opponents to read his work they have no idea with the shots are coming from and that’s because of the the footwork it’s Fant it’s a footwork it’s brilliant uh uh lower body the foundation of aataya is just something
Special those shots right there that intimidates opponents to cover up the body and that’s why he went for the home run upstairs and will you do look at that footwork what we always talk about in the southp against the Orthodox and there you see it almost as oppar just
Nuded off balance he placing that lead foot the right foot outside of the left foot of Zoro I like where he’s positioning himself though Zoro in the ring he’s not getting bullied too far back on oh Big Shot single shot left hand Zoro is out Zoro is out his head hit the canvas
That’s bad news he gave an indication of what was to come earlier in the round and he won decisive moment it’s all over for eliso the golfing class described here by one single punch as opper now walks over to his stricken opponent who is sitting up being tended to by the medics
Here at ringside and his own corner but that was truly Devastating

That's a scary dude
The death of boxing.
Been watching this guy since he was 16, winning the World Junior title. Knew he was going to be at this level many years ago.
'He's not getting bullied too…' Bam!
BIVOL WILL BEAT OPETIA EVERY DAY OFTHE WEEK,
Opetaia is the real deal, he’s got the lot & his potential is absolutely frightening the sky’s the limit. Zorro got knocked into the middle of next week, if I was a fighter in the cruiserweight division I’d avoid Opetaia like the plague.
Fell like he was shot with a rifle
С таким замахом 😂 зороо просто проспал. 😢
I will love to see bivol or beterbiev fight opetaia
Commentator at 2:10 😂
Best ko on the whole card hes a beast
Commentator was just talking about keeping on the outside of the lead foot, then he stepped around the other way to the big left.
This is one of the worst ways to get KO'd. Very bad way to fall. Likely career-ending.
is he a left handed or left
That was a Vicious Knock out
Sack these two doughnut commentators.
2:12 Darren Barker talking absolute Betty Swallox…!
Unfortunately Zorro wasn’t able to leave a mark.
Jai looks unbeatable at cruiser weight. Will definitely have to move up in 2-3 years he will easily clean up the division.
The great David Tua is certainly proud.
If you notice, he throws the punch right when the 10 second noise goes off, Zorro never seen that punch coming, nor was expecting it once that indicator went off. Jai is a genius.
Lets go uso! 🇼🇸
I will be following this guy from now on!!!!!
No joke this man 🔥
The lowest ring rope saved Zorro from a arder impact ! Hope he is ok.
Da man!
Got slumped like breaking the law in Saudi Arabia. Jai is a menace to society. He is getting better with age. Thanks to Tim Boxeo for getting me on to Jai a few year's ago. Jai is special.
The only slim chance I can see of Opetaia losing is if Bivol were to move up.
"I like where he's positioned himself though, Zorro, IN the ring, he's not being bullied too far backwarrrooOOH BIG SHOT SINGLE SHOT LEFT HAND ZORRO IS OUT"
There’s no chance any current cruiserweight beats opetaia he is amazing.
Says "highlights" but it's the entire match
It’s the safe landing for me
Malo!! Ope
I've heard about this bloke for a while, but he's special, very special
The bottom rope saved zorro from a more brutal ko. Opetaia looks like an absoulte beast.
Very similar to Terence Crawford. An elite Boxer who likes to Brawl
Remember when the PPV audio went out during the Joshua fight?
Incredibly poor footwork from Zorro. All boxers know to move left away from the power hand of a Southpaw
This dude is very underrated 🥊 he’s a beast 🇼🇸
Samoa
Opetaia vs Joseph Parker
commentator: he's not getting bullied too much.
half a second later: zorro is knocked sparked out.
🇼🇸🇼🇸🇼🇸
Wow 👏🏾
Opetaia is either bouncing OR punching, the first one to realize IT might beat him
Zorro is not in the same class 🎉
Usyk, Bivol and Opetaia have the best footwork in the sport!
