    I'm wondering what happens if Lomachenko comes out and says that it has to be 126 because Walters owns no belt at 130. Seems like a legit scenario.

    If Walters is struggling to make 126 then it should be at 130. Only Walters knows if he can make 126. He has struggled in the past, but that could have been down to not being as dedicated in his diet and weight cutting.

    As for the belt at 126; other than it adding extra money to the purse, it is ultimately meaningless. The best fighting the best will always trump some trinket being up for grabs.

    Going by him missing the weight for his title fight, he probably will struggle.
