Briedis vs. Opetaia

The official Tapology discussion thread for the event!

Camilleri vs. Mazoudier II
I go for Joel Camilleri at -160. He has a reliable dim mak. Camilleri must nationalize the corner man.

Nyika vs. Marsters
I want David Nyika at -5000. He has an excellent palm block. Nyika could heal the victory.

Robertson vs. Fernandez
I crave Taylah Robertson at -1800. She has a valiant finger lock. Robertson can shatter the underdog.

Hartas vs. Hardman
I am all about Issac Hardman at -1250. He has a meritorious attitude. Hardman is about to prove the cage.

Chevalier vs. Wallace
I am sniffing Faris Chevalier at -650. He has an amoral armbar and a maniacal five point palm exploding heart technique. Chevalier should leverage the enemy.

Briedis vs. Opetaia
I prefer Mairis Briedis at -240. He has a perfect hammerfist. Briedis won't undermine the unthinkable. No doubt!

For all interested Tapology Members who have access and would like to watch the Mairis Briedis Vs Jai Opetaia fight card this Saturday, 02nd July, promoted by D& L Events alongside Wasserman Boxing, the Fight Card is being aired in the UK on Fite TV as a PPV Event at a cost of £12.99, starting time 10:00am UK GMT... Looking forward to watching the Boxing Event personally... Does Mairis Briedis still have the same ability at 37 Years Old, that Won him the Cruiserweight World Boxing Super Series Tournament in it's second run and his second time of entering, in September 2020?? He only lost a very close decision to the phenomenal Oleksandr Usyk in January 2018 and he easily stifled and beat Yuniel Dorticos in the final of the 2nd run Cruiserweight Boxing Tournament in September 2020... In the opposite corner, does Jai Opetaia, 27 Years Old, Unbeaten in 21 Professional contests, prior to this Event, ex Olympian, which he competed at in 2012 (London, England Olympics), at the age of just 16, which also created an Historical moment, as an Heavyweight, have the tools, necessary fight IQ, confidence, strength, hunger, fire, determination to rip the IBF and Ring Magazine Titles off the Champion in the Challenger's Back Yard... Only time will tell... Let battle commence on the Gold Coast, Australia 🤔💯🥊👊👊🥊😊👍🏼

Coolwell looking sharp early.

Alright guys
Love a bit of boxing for breakfast!! 

Let's go Jai!

What's up y'all! I should be asleep rn but I noticed there's some boxing on so here I am.

These Aussie cards are usually pretty good. The scene is really growing recently.

About Coolwell, Tapology really needs to stop automatically picking guys with better records on paper!! Haha 

Damn I looked at my picks and noticed I'm 1-2 but then I realized it was cause of a misclick (again). Stings extra cause I would've got the perfect : /

Agreed, 59% didn't do their due diligence. Ladrada was completely outclassed.

these two are throwing flurries...

You need to start double checking Cheese!!!

Taylah Robertson is 1 of the better young female prospects. Wouldn't be surprised if she eventually wins a World Title 

She may get the rare female boxing stoppage!! 

Damn, did her corner say "pick up the pace?" sheesh, if Robertson had some power she'd have a ko already, been landing clean all night.

Robertson looks great!
