    19 Days left 'til this fight I'm very anticipated about. These are two of the most talented fighters at the Super Featherweight division, and honestly a tough one to call, but I favor Lomachenko coming out winner here.

    What do you guys predict for this great fight?

    This is a great fight! I think Walters is going to be strong throughout the fight and will have his moments, but he's never been in the ring with a guy so complete like Lomachenko. I think Loma will have to go through adversity to get this win, but he'll pass his biggest test with flying colors. I'm going with a UD for Loma by a score of 116-112. At the end of the day Loma is just the better boxer of the two.

    Wouldn't be surprised if Loma got knocked down once or twice, it wouldn't negate his chin. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised if he got knocked out on a body shot. But I'm still strongly in favour of Lomachenko decision or late TKO.

    I'd actually like Walters chances a lot more if he stayed active the last year or so. He does have a lot of physical advantages over Loma and if he can make it a tough, dirty fight than I think he could be successful on fight night.

    I will say though the more I watch Loma, the more impressed I am with him. The guy is a master boxer and one of the more technically brilliant fighters currently campaigning in the sport. But watching how Salido was able to rough him up makes me wonder what will happen in future fights with guys that attempt to employ a similar style to Salido's.

    Walters looked ordinary against Sosa.
    Loma KO.

    If Walters can't hurt Loma early he will most likely be in for a long night. Walters has to turn this boxing match into a fight and try and rough up and bully Loma. I don't think he can but it should be a great fight anyway.

    Salido didn't make weight and was hitting Loma numerous times below the belt, while figuring him out and coming on strong late to almost stop him. That was a close fight, and that was only his 2nd fight as a pro. He's gotten a lot better since, but Walters is a beast. He's going to have to fight a damn near perfect fight to topple walters who will be the strongest guy he's fought yet.

    He got robbed against Sosa, jerkoff.

    I pick Loma by UD or very late stoppage.

    Walters is probably the best guy he's faced though, it's a really good fight. I'm just not sure Walters believes he beats Loma, and he will need to be committed 100% to have a decent chance against Loma.

    Yep, that was one of the worse robberies last year.

    Funny how people keep complaining about the Floyd - Pac, Floyd - Canelo, and Pac - Vargas decisions when they were alright decisions overall (yes some of the scores were bad), while no one seems to care about a true robbery like Walters - Sosa.
