Takashi Uchiyama vs. Nicholas Walters

He didn't outgrow it, he was too big for it to begin with, he should have been at SFW all along. As far as Loma goes he's out of options at FW but if he did move up to SFW, he'd have bigger more ferocious fish to fry than the Axeman he's a small fish in a big pond up there. Uchiyama, Miura, Vargas and Pedraza are all bigger threats to Loma than he is.

 

He didn't school anybody it was a toe to toe battle and he landed the more effective shots, not quite Rigo-Donaire. Uchiyama is fine, he's not old at all, he looked brilliant taking out Jomthong and Flores and he'll look just as brilliant knocking Walters out cold.

 

It sounds to me like you want to buy Walters some time, if he's so skilled throw him in with the top lion.:hey

I don't see him getting past Vargas.

 

Why is he a draw, he was a huge FW that beat up on a few tiny BW's, now that he's fighting guys his own size he's no better than any other average SFW slugger with little power, he's skilled enough but its easy to look skilled when you're in there with rudimentary bangers like Sosa who I liked before the fight. Uchiyama and Pedraza dissect him.

 

Really really good, he struggled a little in his last fight against Edner Cherry but that's not surprising Cherry was a bad style clash and is a tough fight for most people.

As far as name goes, why wouldn't Uchiyama eant to beat the guy who beat Donaire and make a name for himself in America, that being said, he's far from some household name here.

And for the record I just don't like Walters, it has nothing to do with Loma, I didn't like him before. I'd like to see Russell beat him too.

 

Please Russell would box circles around Walters and I thought that before he ever faced Lomachenko, his speed would be far too much for Walters.
