    Loma confirmed he'll move up to face undefeated Nicholas Walters.

    Props to Loma for fighting such strong and much bigger opponent.

    Your predictions? Who takes this?

    I always take the boxer over the puncher. Lomachenko by decision.

    Even those who don't like Loma for whatever reason can't knock him fighting Walters at 130. That fight is bulletproof credibility wise.

    Big fan of both, but I think Loma wins on points. Great matchup!

    Loma wins easy, he is levels above the dangerous but basic Walters.

    Loma wide UD or late rounds mercy stoppage.

    I see what you did there you, named yourself Academic but misspelled Akademic, and now you're making outlandish statements like calling a Gold Medalist with a 396-1 amateur record a bum, you're trying to be ironic aren't you?

    Hopefully its a one fight deal then Loma goes back to 126 where his 65" reach works better, Walters had a size/reach advantage in 126 which got him where he is.

    This fight is technically still a 126 affair, unless Walters added more mass since moving up & shows up in the ring a solid 145 lbs. I suspect he might have went into the DRAW with his old 126 over sized frame & the performance might pressure him to add more mass & keep a reduced size advantage at 130, by adding more muscle (or muscle & bone)...Which will not help alot, since it will not increase his reach & excessive draining will effect his performance as he ages (requires certain PEDs to ensure he can fight 12 rds at a high pace after draining)

    Walters has an 8" Reach advantage, but Loma will neutralize it using finer boxing tactics

    Walters is strong but basic. He is going to get worked over in a shocking manner and size and reach won't mean a damn thing.

    Hope it gets made. Gotta give respect to Lomachenko for moving up to fight a dangerous puncher in Walters.
