Gold Coast, Australia – when it comes to who has the unofficial crown of the best boxer in Australia, there is Jai Odetaa, and then everyone is playing catching up.
The invincible 29-year-old Bruiser from Zong on the middle coast of the Up-to-date South Wales has having having the fact that in the last 36 months, collecting and constantly defending himself, both IBF and the title Ring titles in the ward ward in the circulatory weight, while rising to the top of the ESPN cruise weight rankings. Now the next logical step is a shot in infrequent union.
The Mexican star Gilberto “Zurdo” Ramirez has WBO and WBA belts in a cracked division, but the bite of struggles between him and Odetaia has not yet been agreed, despite the ongoing push from the Australians and his camp. However, speculation still swirled that the September fight in Las Vegas.
In the meantime, Opetoa (27-0, 21 KO) will place his titles on the line this weekend in “Stay-Busy”, voluntary defense against uninhabited Claudio Squeo (17-0, 9 KO) at Convention and Exhibition Center, a compact ride from the training base in Broadbeach, Queensland.
“I am chasing Zurdo. My eyes are closed on them (uniform fights). The best should be the fight against the best,” said Odetaa in leading with Squeo. “Now this guy is on the road and we have to remove it. None of them matters unless I deal with business [against Squeo]. “
The fight between OPETAI and SQUEO was originally scheduled for May 13, but was forced to postpone three and a half weeks to June 8 due to a “tiny injury” suffered by the master at the last stage of the training camp. Opetoa has now returned to full fitness and is ready to submit more misery to her latest pretender, who has fought only once in the last 20 months and never outside of his family Italy.
“Guys like him, they have nothing to lose and everything to gain,” said Odetaa about Squeo, moments after the couple first met. “On the stage I could say that he was a bit nervous, but when it leaves, elderly, you f — nervousness become perilous.
“He will be swift, shaken, he threw bombs and tries to take off his head. And that’s why I paired many compact, perilous guys. I have to remain patient. I am a world -class warrior.”
The last fight of Otetai was also at this place at Gold Coast. On January 8, he made a statement with the dominant knockout of the fourth round of the highly authenticated Up-to-date Zealander David Nyiki, his fourth victory in the distance in the last five fights. The place is also a scene where Opetoi for the first time became a boxing world champion, winning a rugged decision over the Latvian star of Miris Bliedis in mid -20122.
Between these fights, Australian Southpaw crushed the talented British couple Jordan Thompson and Ellis Zorro, won a rematch against Bliedis, also a unanimous decision, and stopped the title of Commonwealth Cruiser at Jack Massey.
If Opetoa adds the name Squeo to its list of victims on Sunday evening, the unification of the circuitous weight in the back half of the year will not look more and more likely, but almost impossible to avoid Ramirez.

Saturday’s fight with Keyshawn Davis and Edwin de Los Santos was officially canceled after Keyshawn did not reach weight on Friday and was deprived of his lithe WBO title. Davis (13-0, 9 KO) weighed 139.3 pounds, i.e. 4.3 pounds above the limit of 135 pounds.
Abdullah Mason Modern Headliner
The fight of Abdullah Mason with Jeremia Nakathila will be moved to the place to Headliner on Saturday evening to save the show to the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. Mason has an invigorating combat style that makes him a perfect substitute for Keyshawn. When entering the fight, some fans perceived him as a worthy main header over Keyshawn.
Incorrect lithe pretender No. 2 WBO, Mason (18-0, 16 KO) comes from Ohio. This is not perfect to be the main event. However, the brothers Keyshawn, Kelvin and Keon Davis, are still on the card, and this will satisfy the crowd of Norfolk. Given that the Saturday event is shown at ESPN and ESPN+.
Keyshawn accepted a lot of criticism from fans for the missing weight. Many of them believe that he intentionally came to overweight to gain an advantage over the demanding punchating of Southpaw de los Santos (16-2, 14 KO).
What rejected the fans was Davis said that he was going to be his last fight at the age of 135 and that he moved to 140. In addition, he did not have the physical appearance of a warrior who pressed on the weight.
Davis: Miss unprofessional weight
“You should make a weight. Why did you sign a contract for 135 and placed the title on the line if you knew that you were not going to start?” Tim Bradley said WarriorResponding to Keyhawn Davis, who does not earn weight today.
Davis has never left his weight before during his tiny four -year professional career. In his last three fights he seemed to be bigger and looked like a weight class.
“It’s very unprofessional. You should do this weight. If you crawl on all fours to the scale, I say:” Damn, he tried to endure weight, but it was too much for him. ” But he didn’t crash on the scales at all, “Bradley said about Keyshawn.
Keyshawna size
The difference in size between Keyshawn and De Los Santos was noticeable during the last press conference on Thursday. After looking at Keyshawn, it could be said that it did not seem that he even began to take off the weight. However, de los Santos looked out of skin and skeletal.
“He is a immense 135-pound and was all his [4-year] career. However, he was busy, “Bradley said about Keyshawn. “It’s not like he was sitting for two years. He went from the camp to the camp. He should be able to bring this weight or get closer to this weight.”
Considering that Davis was already planning to leave a slight division, there was no reason for him to go through the bell, to go down to 135. However, if it was intended, he did not understand that the fight could be canceled.
“Four pounds are embarrassment, an senior. One pound, I understand. I understand some ounces, maybe even two pounds. But three pounds, four pounds and no, no. It’s not professional, senior. It’s bad and it’s unfortunate. Shame, shame, keyhawn. You dropped the ball here,” said Bradley.
Ego led Davis to failure
Lack of 4.3 pounds makes Keyshawn look bad. Is it on his part that prompted him to understand the response of fans? It can be. He seems to be a narcissus, and his victory over a cushioned opposition, which fed the highest rank, seemed to come to his head.
