Jai Opetaia (27-0, 21 COs) will defend its IBF and Ring Magazine Cruiserweight titles against unbeaten few well-known #14-ranks Claudio Squoo (17-0, 9 cost) in a 12-ridden fight on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May 13, on May Live on dazn at the Gold Coast Convention Center, Broadbeach, Australia.
Squeo: Who is he?
The 34-year-old Italian-born Squoo is a nine-year-old pro who has never fought a fighter at the world level. He did not have much amateur career, with 0-2 before becoming professional in 2017.
Squeo’s last five wins
-Orlando de Jesus Road (16-18-2)
-Nice Speak (17-2-1)
-Lebogang Records (10-5)
-Julio Cesar Calimeno (6-3)
-Gabriele Guainella (6-2)
I don’t know why the International Boxing Federation Squoo gave a top-15 rankings. Nothing on his resume indicates that he should be nearby at the top. Under 100 would be good, but not #14.
If this is the type of opposition that Optetaia is consistently facing, he can hold his IBF title in his 50s. If you are Dazn, you may not be happy to attract such maladjustments because it will not bring in new subscribers unless they focus only on the Australian market. George Kambosos jr. Is a star in that country, and he has done very little with his career.
Opetaia’s fans on X are not satisfied with this choice of opponent because they wanted a unification battle with the WBA and WBO champion Gilberto Ramirez, rather than another cherry choice such as his last two opponents, David Nyika and Jack Massey.
The “jelly inside”
Some people believe that the life-and-death struggle that Jai had in his re-broadcast with Mairis Briedis last May has taken the best out of him, leaving this risk director we have seen since then.
In that battle, Opetaia looked scared when Briedis went to the center at the center and dominated the last six rounds with pressure. Fans have seen who peers in Opetaia: Taking Overly, Look at Opponents, but Inside, pure jelly.
