How surprised would you be if Walter's manages to upset the odds and beat Lomachenko?

    If you read some of @dempsey1234 thread in the training section, he alludes to dealing with the different promoters.

    Bob (and Al, and I'm sure every other promoter), will try to get you to sign a contract when you're green, which will let them dictate damn near how your future goes--if you ever win a title. Thomas Hauser has a lot of good write ups on it, although they're more slanted against PBC, he still has some pieces that make Top Gank look not so favorable.

    But the reason for Walters small purse is more HBO than Top Rank, IMO.

    I also think back to the Loma Salido fight! Every one and their mama knows Loma is a far more skilled fighter than Salido, yet had trouble with the size difference. Loma moved up and is fighting a hard punching dude. This is a guy that beat the breaks off of Donaire. ND was a very fast guy that arguably had more power than Loma and Walters had very little trouble beating him down. To answer the question of would I be surprised...NO!!! Walters KO by the 7th!!!

    I do think his taking Walter abit lightly, but I imagine he's professional enough to have put the right amount of work in.

    VERY surprised. I know everyone says Walters is good but I feel he's not at the same level as Loma. Maybe I'm biased that Loma is my current favorite fighter. I just haven't seen anything from Walters that screams special. I hope I'm wrong as I was with Kovalev.

    I think Loma will win but I've put a little bet on Walters because the odds are so absurd. Wouldn't shock me if Walters pulled it off.

    When a fighter is that "special" IDGAF how many pro fights he's had, they should be able to absolute DOMINATE salido, no ****ing excuses .

    Loma fought like 10x with pro rules so that's the same as building your fighter. I had him beating salido but was very unimpressed after reading endless article's and nonsense from you guys in how "great" this guy was and he was better than almost all the pro's title holders around his weight.

    Once I watched him I realized how gullible our fans are, they can be sold Anything and buy it even when proven to be faulty and or garbage .

    Loma is a good fighter with very good talent but, I don't know how good he will truly be, he'll be 30 before we know it

    WSB isn't 12 rounds and that was the biggest stumble Lomachenko had. Once he knew he could go a full 12 rounds he turned up the pace and put a beating on Salido. Salido was in survival mode by the end of their fight. If it were a 15 round fight I'd bet money on Lomachenko TKO'ing Salido.
