    Lomachenko will win unless Walters becomes this dirty inside fighter, and studies Salido religiously. He can't box with Loma, the only way he can win is to combine a strategy of Maidana/Salido etc and try and bully Loma with his weight. But the problem wtih this is Walters is not thsi kind of boxer. Just like how it's dumb when people say Maidana's "pressure" troubled Floyd what would GGG do when we all know Maidana's punches to the back of the head a million times is what really troubled floyd.

    That style is Loma's ultimate nightmare. True, Golovkin fights far more cleaner than Maidana which works in Mayweather's favour.
    But if I was Walters, I would study Selimov to the death - a much bigger, VERY AWKWARD, aggressive counter puncher who has brilliant defence at closer range (Walters has a good defense on the inside and is a good counter puncher at shorter range, but is not awkward at all, very conventional). However, to throw a caution in the wind there, Lomachenko had the habit of not being in the fray which helped Selimov more (this came to bite Loma against Ramirez in his debut, Salido, and to a smaller extent, Russell Jr but he has since improved this). Mikey Garcia will have the best shot of beating Loma this way.

    I have a feeling Salido's "blueprint" was successful due to Loma being a bit green in the pros. I don't expect that to work again unless Loma is severely outweighed. Heck, Salido almost lost that fight towards the end. If I recall correctly, on Loma's next outing against Piriyapinyo, his opponent tried some low blows and Loma tried to get the refs' attention. When that didn't work, Loma fired the most obvious, career ending, d1ck shot to Piriyapinyo. He lost a point on the cards but the guy stopped fighting dirty cold turkey.

    I like both of these guys but I still favor Lomo for the win by UD or a shocking late TKO.
    I say shocking, if Lomo gets the TKO, because the Axe Man is NO JOKE

    I have to pick Lomachenko to beat Walters, either by TKO, KO, or UD....................Good fight though, can't wait to see it. Walters is a hard puncher, but Lomachenko's skills will be too much.............

    Lomachenko was robbed by Salido, broke every rules in the book, thanks to the worst referee in boxing today, Lawrence
