Win Methods
Every division has a boss. At cruiserweight, Jai Opetaia is it — champion of the world with a 30-0 record and no plans to hand the belt back.
The style is simple and terrifying: 77% of his wins never reach the scorecards. When he touches people, they fall — 23 knockouts and counting. Add the southpaw stance, and the puzzle gets harder still.
He arrives on a 5-fight win streak — most recently Brandon Glanton, Decision (Unanimous). Streaks like that don't stay unnoticed for long.
