    Fair enough i think as of now it's fair of people to rate Loma over Walters but I just wish both guys were active and coming off a good win. Nevertheless if Loma beats Walters I will be throughly impressed and he school or ko's him he goes into my p4p top 3.

    I suspect that too I think he drew because.Bob was upset with him for turning down the Lomachenko first time round.

    He can very easily, just get some **** judges to score the fight.

    No way. Walters has all the tools to make this dangerous.
    Force his way on the inside where he's best, land all kinds of body shots and shots around the head. As another poster said, he's an 'A-level fighter with an A-level punch'. He is going in there with attitude and genuinely wants to use that axe.
    He doesn't want it going to a decision, either.

    I believe Lomachenko will overcome it and we will see Lomachenko's greatness come through and he will be number 4 on the P4P list.

    That happened after the Sosa fight.

    He didn't want to extend his contract with Top Rank. So Bob bought a draw, it's happened before. Google Thomas Hauser articles about Bob Arum. When you fight with him (or any other major promoter) they'll try to get options on your future fights through shady ass ways.

    I wouldn't be surprised at all. The so called experts made Lomachenko a big favorite based on beating a weight drained paper titlist last time out. Walters is Lomachenko's size, and is more skilled than that last bum Loma KO'd. I look forward to an intriguing fight.

    I would be a little surprised considering how long Walters' been inactive and maybe not looking like his apex self the last couple of times out, but wouldn't consider it a giant upset. He is big. He is strong. He is a formidable boxer. I see this as a 60/40 fight Loma/Walters.

    You and Hi-tek Lomo names would suggest you would be fan boys of Lomachenko but really your objective fans lol.

    Extremely surprised. Lomachenko has two losses in over 400 fights, against Selimov and Salido. Both those fights were very close. Walters isn't good enough to outbox Loma, so he would need to knock him out. Loma has never been close to that point, so I would be extremely surprised. If Walters can score a knockdown I'd be extremely surprised. Just because it doesn't happen to Lomachenko. Walters is big and powerful, so if someone is going to do it then Walters is a good candidate. I just don't expect it. I do expect a good fight and I expect a career best performance from Lomachenko.

    No not all surprise. I have always said.Walters is the most dangerous fight for the man they call High Tech.I am ready to see how Lomachenko handles Walters. Meaning I am ready to be a a believer this Saturday if Lomachenko is indeed this special once in a lifetime boxer.

    I know what you mean I think he has been anointed a bit too early but that's coz of the eye test I think he will have tough moments against a serious fighter and how he deals with it will tell us how much of the mental side he possesses along with his technical gifts.
