JORDAN THOMSPON's face was temporarily unrecognisable as he ate a punishing blow in his cruiserweight clash with Jai Opetaia.<\/p>\n

The former tennis prospect challenged the unbeaten Aussie for the IBF 200lbs title at Wembley Arena on Saturday night.<\/p>\n


\n
\n<\/p>\n

But the Brit's 16th professional outing proved to be a complete mismatch from the outset, with Opetaia hurting and drawing blood from him in the first round.<\/p>\n

Opetaia, 28, couldn't miss with his power<\/span> shots, which repeatedly bludgeoned the nose of the dogged and determined Thompson.<\/p>\n

One of the punishing blows nearly contorted Thompson's bloodied face and sent spurts of his life force flying through the air.<\/p>\n

A brave but outgunned Thompson was dropped in the third round and was badly rocked before the end of the stanza.<\/p>\n

The fight should've been stopped between rounds but Thompson's corner dusted him off and sent him back out there.<\/p>\n

Opetaia didn't waste the opportunity to pick up his 18th career stoppage, swarming early and landing a straight left and a vicious right hook which sent Thompson to the canvas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stand here in this ring and I\u2019m born for this s**t,\u201d a fired-up Opetaia roared after his first title defence.<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cI felt like this entire fight week was about Jordan Thompson. It was nothing to do with me.<\/p>\n
