Tale of the Tape
Opetaia enters this bout on the back of four KOs. His superior footwork allows him to circle and pepper Glanton with straight lefts, check hooks, and uppercuts, as shown in recent wins over David Nyika and Claudio Squeo.
Glanton will have to try to deal with the awkwardness that Opetaia's southpaw stance can bring against his own orthodox approach.
Check how the two compare with our quick tale of the tape (Opetaia's figures first):
- Age - 30 vs 34
- Height - 6'2" (188cm) vs 5'11" (180cm)
- Stance - Southpaw vs Orthodox
- Record - 29-0-0 vs 21-3-0
- KO Record - 23 vs 18
