He looked in a very bad way.
But he was helped to the dressing room by his team soon after getting to his feet.
He's a scary man...
And a brilliant fighter.
Here is the champion.
"David, thank you," he says.
"He took the fight on a few weeks notice, I respect it.
"He came to fight."
The rest of his speech is drowned out by cheers.
"There's always pressure," he says before more cheers ring out.
"He wanted those belts, he kept coming forward."
Speaking of wanting belts...
"Ramirez, I'm coming for your belts," he says.
And he retains his belts.
Big cheers from the crowd as David Nyika is helped to a sitting position.
And now he rises to his feet.
What a relief. That was a horror knockout from Jai Opetaia.
David Nyika is making his way out of the ring under his own steam, although needs the support of his team to walk back to the dressing room.
Real concern for David Nyika in the ring.
Opetaia is doing enough to win the rounds, but Nyika is landing hard and then he is looking bad when he is hit.
GOOD SHOT OPETAIA! Nyika stands tall to a brutal shot to the chin.
ANOTHER MASSIVE SHOT! Nyika has heart and a chin to match.
Opetaia is landing hard shots and Nyika is standing up to them - this could turn into a war - because he's landing them back himself.
Good shot from Opetaia - but Nyika lands solidly.
THERE'S AN UPPER CUT THAT NYIKA ABSORBS!
It was an uppercut to the body that sent him down.
Opetaia races in after he beats the count.
BANG ON THE ROPES! OPETA IS SMASHING NYIKA!
THE REFEREE HAS TO STOP IT!
HE DOES!
Three brutal shots, a right and then two lefts, the last one when Nyika was prone against the ropes.
The referee needed to step in earlier.
Opetaia with the jab.
One-two from Opetaia - AND IS NYIKA WOBBLED THERE!
Good shot from Opetaia.
Both men land hard, shuddering shots that stop their momentum in its tracks.
Good right from Opetaia gets through.
Two lefts from Opetaia land, but Nyika gets a shot through too!
Nyika lands down the pipe, great shot.
Opetaia sits down on a right that lands.
Nyika jabs tentatively and gets through with a scoring shot.
Opetaia is grabbing and then breaking and hitting Nyika with cheap shots as they break.
Nyika is leaning on Opetaia on the ropes.
AND NOW HE LANDS ON THE CHIN! GREAT SHOT!
Opetaia stays up . Nyika with a strong end to the round.
