Lomachenko to fight Donaire-Walters winner

[George Orwell]

No need for this. I'm not interested and neither is anyone else.

Nonito should move up to 130 if he beats Walters

[JJRod]

I think the fight to make is Donaire vs Gonzalez if Donaire gets through this weekend.

[sugarsmosley]

Loma beats anyone not named rigondeaux.

[HeroBando]

I think he beats either, especially if he fixes his stamina issues by then.

He doesnt seem to have those. Against Salido his problem was pacing, not surprisingit was his first time going 12, and Salidos rep of coming on strong late

[Rostov Papa]

Loma said he doesn't want to do what most prized protected prospects do. He said it's boring and predictable to start off fighting weak opponents for the first few years and gradually get to the best.

He's confident in his abilities to the point where he doesn't want to waste two years of his physical prime doing the boring predictable route. He wants to go after the best immediately. He wants to maximize his career and prime by taking the best fights early and often as possible.

He's the first to want to go this path. Throwing stuff like puffed up records out the window and giving himself and fans the best fights as early and often as he can

I don't see how you can't love this attitude and support it. If o ky every boxer was like this ,*

[nivek535]

that's bad ass.

If you're a bad ass like loma, there's no time to waste on tomato cans. Great move.

What's the point of hyping these guys up, if they're going to turn out to be whack? Ie broner, gary russell jr, etc.

i think loma beats both

walters is relatively flat footed

and donaire doesn't let his hands go enough and we have seen him outboxed by rigo

credit to loma. This is what boxing fans wanna see

loma's self-confidence is something else. Talk about wanting to face the best.

lomachenko is great for the sport.
Fight the best to be the best.

I dont know but im guessing hes going to have two-three fights before the unification. I guess arum wants to make him into a star. Do you think Lomachenko Becomes the legit champion if he beats either guy.

Of course he'd be the top dog in the division if he wins that fight.

However, the risk of this fight can only be truly understood after this weekend and after seeing how good Donaire still is and how good Walters can be.

Personally, I'd prefer a Salido rematch.

he just moved up to 126 and probably doesn't belong there...


I thought this was already known though. Top Rank is essentially doing a featherweight tournament.

[Mr. Objectivity]

lomachenko is a beast.............i think he can win against rigo....donaire and walters

Why? He just got to FW, and he's not exactly huge for the weight.
