Jai Opetaia vs Jack Massey Betting Analysis

Jai Opetaia, widely regarded as the best cruiserweight on the planet right now, returns to the ring on Saturday night as the chief main support for what should be a mouthwatering contest between two undefeated P4P level greats in Artur Beterbiev and Dmitry Bivol, a card that’s set to determine who the light-heavyweight king of the division is in Riyadh this weekend.

Facing Jai Opetaia on that undercard this Saturday will be tough English veteran Jack ‘One Smack’ Massey, who has competed at the highest levels of the sport across his 24-fight career so far.

Despite that, odds for this fight remain incredibly wide, with the undefeated Jai Opetaia coming into this one as a healthy -2000 favorite at most books, while Jack Massey comes back as a +1100 underdog.

Opetaia Looking To Make Waves At Heavy

Jai Opetaia has made no secret of his desire to move up to heavyweight in the near future, stating he would like to emulate previous cruiserweight kings David Haye and Oleksandr Usyk in capturing a share of the heavyweight crown.

The Australian fighter certainly has the credentials also, dethroning former champion Mairis Briedis back in 2022, a fighter who arguably gave current heavyweight king Oleksandr Usyk his toughest test to date, and with 19 stoppages across his 25 wins as well, Opetaia’s power should certainly be able to carry up to heavyweight.

Massey Looking For Another Crack At Glory

Not many opportunities exist that put you in as the chief main support on an undisputed card for all the belts between two undefeated fighters, but it’s one that Jack Massey has found himself in after capturing the European cruiserweight title against Isaac Chamberlain back in June.

Massey will no doubt relish the opportunity against the cruiserweight knockout puncher also, as both of his two previous defeats against heavyweight Joseph Parker and the hard-hitting Richard Riakporhe went the full distance.

Jai Opetaia vs Jack Massey Expert Prediction

Jai Opetaia is no question one of the most devastating punchers in the entire division, with only former cruiserweight king Mairis Briedis being the only man to see the full distance against him since 2019.

That said, Opetaia has one eye firmly fixed on the heavyweight division ahead of this fight, and he faces a foe in Jack Massey here who is defensively very adept, being able to frustrate both Riakporhe and Parker in recent contests, fighters that could rival Opetaia in sheer power.

All the value lies with taking Massey to go the full distance against Opetaia this weekend, and we’re liking the big odds on offer for just that to happen on Saturday.
