That has something to do with Loma, not Walters. Walters is a very good fighter. People sell him short by saying 'Darchinyan and Donaire were past it anyway and smaller'. He's more than his resume, as is Lomachenko. Ultimately most people are picking Lomachenko but see Walters as a danger.
Sorry but it was only 18 month ago that Walters was gunna spark Loma out and Walters had a resume to die for. Now the fights on people are beginning to dismiss Walters.
Yeah, I'm a little shocked that people are thinking this fights going to be easy for Lomachenko. I think it's far from that.
This is a cause for concern. Arum may prefer a Loma victory but long odds such as these can influence important people. Would not suprise me if some judges or a ref put money on Walters here.
I was actually leaning towards Walters until I watched that weigh in. Walters done already lost. He's acting like a loser. I hope I am wrong but that's the way I see it. His body language wasn't in sync with that of a confident and competent individual. He acted like he was a dam fan of Loma's.
I agree. Walters came up to Loma afterwards asking for photos, hugging Loma and talking about making money. Loma doesn't care about the money, he wants to fight the best and make history. Maybe I'm reading it wrong and Walters is just enjoying the occasion, but it seems like he isn't prepared to fight for the glory.. he's just happy to be there.
THIS!! Nicholas is a respectful guy. The kind of admiration Nicholas showed Donaire pre and post-fight was something we rarely see from boxers.
I took the time to watch the Donaire weigh in and while it was respectful, It wasn't at all like this Loma weigh in. Now, I could be reading too much into this but it sticks out for me, because it's out of character for Walters.
