If he wanted to face Loma so badly, he could gotten his eating under control.:deal Clearly Walters ducked the s*** out of Loma and that's not even debatable. And you can be a man on a mission all you want it doesn't mean you can will everything to happen just because you want it to.
Walters was horribly robbed, he beat the SNOT out of Sosa. But that being said, Uchiyama is going to knock the **** out of Walters.
I'm a loma fan and would pick loma to beat Walters but it was Loma who said he had no interest in Walters when he lost his title on the scales. The title in that fight was irrelevant anyway everyone already knew those two were the best the division had to offer so yeah he did indeed duck him.
Walter's is a tough tough out, but don't know enough about the opponent to conclude a probable outcome
Uchiyama's been the man at 130 for awhile and has an American style, very good boxer/puncher style, likes to rely more on speed and reflexes than one punch power like Miura. Walters, tho lanky, has some underrated skills. Has a good jab and very good inside game, he's a more complete fighter Imo than Uchiyama is. Also, Uchiyama is up there in yrs, he might age overnight, that remains to be seen. I still think he owes Miura that rematch, great fight. Can't wait for this one! 130 is gettin real interesting with Vargas, Salido, Martinez, Miura, Uchiyama, and Walters.
uchiyama has faced fights that either hit as hard or harder than walters ad came back and won walters has never faced anybody closed to uchiyamas power and was rocked by donaire
I'd say Donaire while smaller (and past his prime) has comparable power to Uchiyama. Less, of course, but comparable.
I'd say Walters eating his way out of the division and moving up to Super Featherweight is a clear duck as well. Unfortunately for him there's a hell of a lot of guys there that can literally tear his head from his shoulders, like Uchiyama, Miura, Vargas, Valdez, Cherry, Marrero, Estrella maybe even Salido. and the ones who don't KO him can school him like Jezreel Corrales or Jose Pedraza. Loma would just embarrass him as opposed to destroying him, he's toast in this division since his power hasn't carried up.
Uchiyama will systemically breakdown Walters with flush power punches, en route to a decisive and brutal KO within 6 rounds...:deal
You're crazy if you think that Walters ducked loma by outgrowing the division Walters loma was a done deal as Walters got by his mando. This was a big fight that everyone wanted to see he won the fight but lost his title on the scales. Loma said no title no fight which was Bull**** they could have had a catch weight fight at 128. Who the hell else is Loma going to fight? Russell Jr again? The fight with rigo fell through. Loma is left in a without any options really while Walters has many options at 130. I think Walters will do fine at 130 he has underrated boxing ability a great inside fighter and good body attack he looked good in his last fight outclassing his man but was the victim of a horrible robbery.
I'm a huge uchiyama fan but the only way this happens if axeman truly can't get used to the 130 pound limit. Axeman just schooled Velez 8-2 and got robbed so now people are writing him off. Axeman is still one of the best in boxing. I'd cheer for uchiyama, but I know this will be an extremely competitive fight, also remember uchiyama is aging.
