    It would be interesting but I think Walters grows out of Featherweight pretty soon. He is big. A classic puncher vs boxer.

    I'm bias for Salido? And is the word "trounced" funny to you? :yep


    There was nothing in it but exaggerations and hostility... What part was correct? :huh

    Great observations and I agree Lomachenko seems to still retain that amateur style of taking great satisfaction out of making his opponent miss rather than punish him with punches which are available to him. It's like he is playing physical chess and enjoys showcasing his elusiveness in the ring rather than getting down to the gritty business of just beating up his opponent. Lomenchenko needs a no nonsense American professional trainer to take him to the next level. He has the talent to be a boxing phenom.

    There is plenty of doubt, closed minded people just don't see it.

    Team Loma will run scared from Axeman! This ain't the amateurs baby... If you struggle with fat old man Salido, you're getting ferociously KTFO by a prime beast like Walters. No doubt about it.

    Im a big fan of Lomachenko but some of his followers are deluded. He needs way more experience in the pros before taking on someone like NW

    Salido used Loma's nutsack as a speed bag lol

    And in the 12 round Salido was very lucky to not get stopped, if the ref wasn't so slow after the count, I think Loma knocks Salido out in the closing seconds of the fight

    Also let's not forget that Salido was 2 or 3 weight classes above Loma and fought dirty all night, AND imo Loma won on the cards despite all that

    Lomo will weigh in the mid-130s by fight night and is generally shredded. Walters weighed what--139lbs on Sat? Hardly a huge differential.

    Walters is a good fighter, but he is also relatively predictable and somewhat mechanical. Donaire stood in front of him, with his hands down, and ate jab after jab. Not only did those punches upset Nonito's offense, they also served as a range finder for Walters' heavy artillery.

    Lomo won't be a stationary target in front of him with his hands down.

    Was this even necessary? I can't even waste my time giving this a rebuttal....pure ignorance at best.
