    Semi-main to Garcia/Benn - WBC trying to strip Mikaelyan for not fighting Benavidez, even thought Opetaia is WBC No.1 contender and Benavidez is not ranked by WBC at Cruiser.

    One of the Few Crusierweight Fights That MATTER...Opetaia Should Win But Mikaelian's CRAFTY...

    Opetaia-Benavidez is a Top 5 (or Better) Fight to Make...

    Opeteia should win, but its hard to know how good he really is (or isn't) since his resume is so putrid bar the Breidis fights.

    So an upset is not out of the realm of possibilities

    Yeah Breidis is a decent scalp but that's it really, whatever happens Opetaia needs to impress.
