Comments Thread For: Donaire Wants Walters Shot, Not Teammate Gradovich

will be interesting to see how donaire's chin holds up against a hard hitting 126 lber.

Walters is a ****er. Reminds me of a smaller Keith Thurman.

Wow, what a tough dude calling out Walters. Nonito will get KO by this guy if he fight the same way he did against Vic.

Walters is a dangerous opponent at Featherweight...

Other than being just as strong or stronger than Donaire, he has decent hand speed and is a solid combination and body puncher. I've only seen a few rounds of him (against modest opposition at best) so I have to rewatch him before coming to a firm conclusion, but I can see him outworking Donaire and possibly hurting him in the process.

Don't talk smack please. Some of y'all don't know what you are talking about. "Easier" fight?? Do you watch boxing or know who Walters is? He is a solid fighter with good power and wiskers. Can box and can mix it up and ****. Could be the last thing Donaire needs, because his name is not big so he's easy to assume an easy W over but a loss to him does MUCH more damage to his name than beating him does good for it.

Translation: "I want an easier fight"

What about Walters is easy?

Walters has power Nonito has a good chin and Power to spare should be an easy fight but then again after Rigo traumatized him he let Darchynian break his face with all the flashbacks he was having so i dont know what to think of Donaire anymore.

Nonito hasn't fought a true FW yet. Assuming Boxrec is correct, Walters has a 5 inch reach advantage, something Nonito isn't used to dealing with. Him getting picked apart would not surprise me.

If he gets back to form he is a great counter puncher but it is true he has never fought a true feather weight, and is used to having all the reach/height and size advantages with the exception of Mathebula fight but i think he has a good chin regardless and as a counter-puncher should still do pretty well at Feather weight he is no small featherweight by no means .

He should let his face heal first tho and not face anymore southpaws for a while let that side of his face rest.

Walters has yet to really prove himself, but this would be a great opportunity for him. He'll have some key physical advantages, and an injury-prone fighter who relies on athleticism in front of him. It seems like an upset special.
