"He got me a good shot in the first round so I was like 'f–k, I'm going to have to pick it up here," Opetaia said.<\/p>\n

"It was good man. He's dangerous and he's got a good lead hand. He keeps it right out there, keeps that puzzle, you've got to pick your shots. He's got dangerous power."<\/p>\n

Opetaia is preparing for a rematch against Mairis Briedis in Saudi Arabia on the undercard for the Tyson Fury vs Oleksandr Usyk showdown on May 18.<\/p>\n

\"Tyson<\/p>\n

"He's (Pedro) got good pressure so I feel like that's what my opponent's going to do," Opetaia said.<\/p>\n

"So good to get rounds and good to adapt to a new style. The dude's a pretty good boxer, that Kris (Terzievski) dude. I'm excited to watch it…<\/p>\n

"I remember meeting Tyson when we were young boys. He's been around the game, he knows what to do."<\/p>\n

\"Pedro<\/p>\n

Pedro, meanwhile, was sweaty but satisfied.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I've got a bit of a headache after that," he said.<\/p>\n

"Good rounds, man. He fights the best in the world for a reason. So I'm glad that at my early stage of my career that I can get rounds with him."<\/p>\n

Pedro starts \ufeffhis official fight camp on Monday.<\/p>\n

One of his immediate and obvious focus points was adjusting from the UFC format (3×5 minute rounds) to the 10×3 of boxing.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I'm not coming in here just to mess around and I'm not taking this opponent (Terzievski) lightly," Pedro said.<\/p>\n

\"Opetaia<\/p>\n

"I want to put in my best work. There's a lot of doubters but people would be naive to think that we haven't seen something that we can beat or exploit in Kris."<\/p>\n

\ufeffPedro had sparred with Opetaia before during his UFC stars and admired his ring craft.<\/p>\n

"He knows how to set you up. He knows how to set traps. Very smart boxer. And that's one reason why I was so excited to come up and get working with him… he's (Terzievski) a nice guy, but I'm coming to hurt him."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
