    Damn, Arum may have stumbled on a gem

    Walters was originally brought on to be a Nonito opponent..... nobody knew who he was and before his undercard fight, had never been at that level. I mean, his stateside debut was untelevised.

    He fought in only Jamaica and Panama before Bob signed him and Bob said that he'd try to make a fight between the two. X

    That was shot down though after V12 won the super and the WBA said the two had to unify (since John never did), but for some reason let them fight on separate bouts on the same card.

    Hell, before that, I thought Donaire would beat him... but his last two fights, the Vic fight especially, has made things really interesting and has shown this guy puts out vicious KO's. Still, Vic was the highest level opponent he's faced, would be interested to see what else he can do and I have a feeling we'll see soon enough

    Now, I don't think Bob will put them in together and the WBA will oblige, for now at least

    He'll put Walters on HBO and try to build him up and potentially match him with Nonito later.

    But if Walters can put together KO's like that... Arum, although he probably won't admit it, stumbled upon a gem that he meant to sacrifice

      Long live King Arum


      Can't wait to see the Walters fight. To be honest I only saw a few clips of him

        This guy's been the goods. His performance against old Darchinyan wasn't even that impressive. Nasty KO shot but it was a joke of a match up.

          Me too... interested who they'd have him fight next.... definitely not Nonito.

          I think they'll do buildups that are televised

          I'd be down for a Cuellar fight

              Him and Donaire would be real interesting. I'd still favor Donaire.

                LOL. Dwyer got destroyed today. He picked Vetyeka wins the fight hedged by Donaire by KO and then the Walters fight.

                But I'm not completely sold on Walters yet. I still want to see a little more. This was a good step up fight but Darchinyan isn't a featherweight.

                  I need to rewatch since my stream cut out after the first.

                  Somebody said he just powers his way in and doesn't jab... I don't remember his first fight.

                    I like him... but I think he's just pure power right now.

                    I'd like him to get in there with some better opposition, but he's fun to watch right now. He chopped Vic down.

                    Like the axe gimmick too... if he gets on HBO, he should get a flashier Axe and walk in with Paul Bunyan, lol
