During a post-fight broadcast, veteran boxing analyst Max Kellerman sparked considerable discussion by suggesting that Jai Opetaia could already be deemed “undisputed” in the cruiserweight division. This assertion immediately raised eyebrows, given that the division still boasts multiple reigning champions, which traditionally contradicts the “undisputed” status.
Following Opetaia’s impressive victory over Brandon Glanton, Kellerman attempted to reframe this moment as a pivotal one for the sport, even going so far as to declare on air, “Kids, you know…” Despite Kellerman’s attempt to redefine the criteria, the prevailing sentiment, and likely Opetaia’s own perspective, did not align with this premature “undisputed” claim.
