Although, I DO see your point in terms of how you would have two big fights on one card, I don't think either set of fighters would like to be a supporting act to each other lol.
Either way, its a great fight in the making

Loma and Walters will fight tune-ups in separate fights IMO and then maybe they'll fight each other if Walters agrees. All 4 FW titles should be unified in 2015, but my prediction is that all 4 titles will never be unified.

Lomachenko is extremely talented, but what makes you think he is going to be stopping people? He is not a boxer puncher, he strictly boxes.
Loma has only had 4 pro fights against very good oppenents, in his pro debut he meet ramirez who had 27 pro fights and never been stopped, loma stopped him.
In his second fight against the rugged and solid salido with over 50 pro fights who didn't bother to make weight and had big weight advantage, loma had to pace himself and still came close to stopping salido in the final round.
Against gary russel loma stepped on the gas in the final round and had russel staggering in the corner of the ring the final seconds.
Lomas last fight against Piriyapinyo who had over 50 pro fights and has never been stopped, he knocked down Piriyapinyo in the 4 round. Most people belive if loma hadn't injured his hand in round seven he would have stopped him. By the 10 round Piriyapinyo was broken, he didn't move forward anymore against a one handed fighter and Piriyapinyo is tough as nails as many thai fighters are.
Lomachenko is 26 and just turned pro with only 4 fights, he will get even better(crazy) and knockouts will come

Either way, its a great fight in the making
If someone makes the compromise and it happens, then we are in for a treat.Last edited by PainfromUkraine; 11-23-2014, 10:29 PM.

So where did the whole "slow down and take a few easy fights" thing go?
It is kind of funny, some haters will say that Lomachenko is being pushed to quick, then contradict themselves and say he's fighting bums - who clearly aren't - and encourage him to fight top top fighters straight away...I don't remember any other fighter being discussed like this in terms of early matchups...yet the haters will say Loma is nothing special!

And Vasya beat him with one arm. And now people are saying after 4 fights "Lomachenko should be stepping up and fighting better guys...not these bums"
