Wow guy moves up to 130 fights Rocky Martinez then defends and stops Walters by truly taking his soul and will to fight and made him quit
I was rooting for Walters by ko but lomo impressed me the hell out of me and my eyes are open now
(Ortiz took way more of a beating against medana , Lomo was just straight toying with him it was sad and embarrassing)
Lomo gets my vote for FOTY
(Unless Jrock knocks out Carlo?)
Walters quit, he didn't want to win and just showed up for a check. If Loma and him had a fight like Frampton/SC and he won then I could see the case.
Thats one way to look at it. The way I saw it Loma made him quit.
People can crap on Rocky all they want but he fought a close fight against Crawford's best or second best win: Burns.
Rocky even dropped Burns something Crawford wasn't able to do.
And it's not like Burns was in his prime when Crawford beat him. Burns was already looking bad before Crawford and Burns was still able to win 4-5 rounds. Loma delivered a KO of the year contender on Rocky. Rocky didn't win a single round.
Crawford won fighter of the year the year he beat Burns.
Loma delivers a KO of the year contender against Rocky Martinez, say what you want about him, but he's still more accomplished than a lot of other fighters.
Then Loma dominates Walters. Who was considered a legit threat.
That smells like Fighter of Year to me!!
:lol1: Good shout.
In my defence, its 6.52am here and i have now been awake for over 24 hours
No defense needed my friend. In hindsight i should have held my tongue.
I agree he is fighter of the year and I agree with Max that he really is the best pound for pound fighter in the world. Everything Ward does well he does better and he does so many things Ward can't do. He can punch with both hands while Ward can only punch fairly hard with his left. He throws twice as many punches as Ward per round. He is not involved in over 100 ugly wrestling clinches every fight as Ward is. In fact you seldom see him in a clinch at all. He is getting the KOs over top ranked fighters that Ward doesn't get. What 130 pounder in the world could even have a chance against him? Walters never had a chance and he was one of the best at 130.
And yes, Loma just locked up a lot of **** with what he did to Walters tonight.
Walters quit, he didn't want to win and just showed up for a check. If Loma and him had a fight like Frampton/SC and he won then I could see the case.
Its moot my brother, moot.
Edit; Honestly wasnt trying to call you out. I made the same mistake many moons ago. Please dont take it as me being another a hole on the interwebz.

Well considering Quigg is 122lbs, LSC/Frampton 126 and Walters 130, id say that point is pretty mute.

Walters of 126 would destroy LSC and Frampton.
In a P4P sense and skill, which is what I was referring to, Walters is superior to Quigg and LSC.
Lomachenko would figure out LSC so quickly and easily.
Walters may have quit today but that doesn't mean he's a bad fighter.
Loma is fighter of the year material right there.
Truth here, easy to see
Loma fighter of the year of course.
Walters is a better fighter than Quigg and LSC.
And Loma didn't need a SD or MD to get the job done.
He dominated Walters.
