Walters prefers to go toe to toe and learned how to pressure fight while in central America. He'd be foolish to outbox Loma. If he's smart he'll give Loma the Salido treatment, Loma hasn't faced an elite pressure fighter since Salido.
This is the only way Walters can seek to win. He actually has good counter punching skills at close range so if he couples it with rugged aggression, it's going to be a tough night for Loma. The problem is, Walters is not this guy habitually - he wasn't even like that vs Darchinyan. I'm still picking Loma, TKO 10 or UD.
I'm shocked at the amount of people that underrate Walters, Salido has a vast amount of exp in the pro's and used that to get his W vs Loma however Walters brings a much more difficult package physically with a similar mindset. He also has that rare grit combined with composure that a ton of fighters lack these days. If loma boxes circles around Walters then more power to him but it won't be a walk in the park.
This is foolish, I'm a big Lomachenko fan but this fight is very dangerous for him. Walters is a low-key beast. He's a big brute. He's a very live underdog
Walters dares to be great unlike GGG. GGG would never consider fighting Loma if they both fought at 160.
Can Walters get the same level of response for taking the fight that he would/did for ducking the fight?
Walters must hurt Loma early and try and bully him if he's to have a chance in this fight. If he doesn't Loma will get into his rhythm and go to work and he'll be in for a long night.
Much Respect to Walters for not avoiding Loma, when most have Loma as the favorite in that match-up. I do not see Loma doing any showboating in this fight, Walters is no slouch. One mistake from Loma and he could get dropped. This is a good fight... I am leaning towards Loma and see him using his boxing and distance to win rounds. But, I do not dismiss the possibility of Walters catching him early to the body and apply serious pressure that will slow Loma's legs down and make the Ukrainian phenom fight his fight. That will not go well for Loma.
Are you talking to Schlong or the response? Because the schlong slurped first, you should start at the source
Don't feel sorry for him, feel good for the fans. Walters will make it a fight and gain respect regardless of the outcome.
