Respect to Flash. He doesn't get nearly enough of it.

Hope the winner of this fights Lomachenko early next year.

Hope the winner of this fights Lomachenko early next year.

That would be great. This fight will produce great results regardless of the outcome.

If Nonito wins he will be back on track and pick his career up where he previously fumbled it against Rigo. He will continue to carve his name into the record books and most likely continue chasing more belts in higher weights.

If Walters wins it will not only garner him recognition and praise but set him up for some interesting match ups and good paydays in the future. As well as establishing him as a threat near the top of the food chain at FeatherWeight.

50/50 fight where both men should get the respect they deserve for having the heart to face each other. Nonito is without a question one of the most valiant fighters in the sport. Year round blood testing coupled with the constant hunger to challenge himself against formidable opposition shouldn't be dragging along all the hate it does.

This is going to be a tough fight for both fighters. Walters looks like a monster so far. Good match up.

Nice. This should be a barn burner.

[SnakeVen0m]

I'm really stumped with this one. Good fight for both guys though.

[KTFO]

I hope we see more of these types of fights in the near future. No losers in this one, good matchup, the way it should be.
