Jai Opetaia vs. Brandon Glanton: Prediction
With an incredible combination of speed, power, and precision, I predict a unanimous decision for Opetaia over Glanton. But despite this punching power, Glanton’s toughness will allow him to make it to the final bell.
Opetaia is currently at his physical peak, and I don’t see anyone besides Noel Mikaelian and Gilberto Ramirez pushing him to his full limit and actually giving him a competitive fight.
