    I'd say they are the two most talented. The division blows.

    Loma seems to get stronger as the fight goes on. I got him by KO.

    I see this as having some similarities to Frampton/LSC. LSC had a large size advantage against him but he was a more crude fighter than the highly talented Frampton. I had my money on LSC that night but Frampton made me a fan. As for Lomachenko/Walters I think the skill gap is larger than it was in that fight. In Lomachenkos favor of course. I'm saying that with the opinion that Walters is more talented than LSC as well. Loma is just in a league of his own and his ability to make his opponents jab irrelevant is going to make the jab reliant Walters frustrated the entire 12 rounds.

    Walters has recently said he's going for the knockout, he doesn't want to leave it to the judges. If he could be willing to go out on his wing to maintain this position, he will be threatening to Loma. Walter must force the fight.

    Whoever wins this should shoot up p4p rankings . This is one of the first decent fights between top echelon boxers in a long time. Ward Kovalev is another good fight.

    All of this talk about Lomachenko-Pacquiao...it's a little disrespectful to Walters. No one should sleep on Walters, he's legit and could completely end any talk of Loma-Pac with one shot that lands cleanly. Loma's been dropped on a body shot before in the ams (not at world level).

    Sosa's current form has turned out to not be bad at all though.

    I'm a Walters guy, and I didn't see a robbery in that fight.

    Don't over rate Lomachenko's power because he beat down a weight drained paper champ in a thin weight division. Walters will be there for 12 rounds. Walters as an overall package, will be the best guy that Lomachenko has faced. Skill wise, he isn't the best guy Loma has faced. Russell Jr. is more skilled than Walters is. Russell Jr. is simply a midget. If you gave Walters Russell Jr's more fluid footwork, and handspeed, he wouldn't have a problem with Lomachenko. Walters does seem to pick up new facets to his game everytime out though. I am eager to see how this fight plays out. Lomachenko's skill and boxing ability, vs Walters power, size, and perceived strength. This will indeed be Lomachenko's first opponent that is his size with some skill.

    Walters was completely robbed against Sosa. Yes, it was competitive, but Walters clearly picked up more rounds.

    Don't think the referee will allow him to foul away, and then hope the decision falls his way.
    Salido's blueprint only works in certain circumstances.
