Comments Thread For: Nicholas Walters Makes Statement, Knocks Donaire Out

[cabalas]

I dont think Donaire was ever the same after he started moving up in weight. He was taking advantage of a massive size difference earlier in his career. He never looked elite fighting guys his own size who could better stand up to his punches.

Exactly. Nonito looked great against little guys like Arce, Montiel and even Vic but as he started to move up to fight people as tall as him then he wasn't that impressive. Maybe Donaire can still go down to 122 although it may be the case that at 31 years old is not going to be very easy to go down in weight.

Walters is only power, He will not pass Lomachenko, the best fighter in the division.

Walters is not a one dimensional power puncher he has good boxing skills.I think he would he beat Lomachenko

That was a scrap... Nicholas Walters made himself a big name tonight. Would like to see him fight Guillermo Rigondeaux soon.

I bet ya Bob Arum doesn't. He is not gonna feed another top fighter to Rigo.

Story of the night for me. I came into this fight saying that the only outcome I couldn't see happening is Donaire getting knocked out. Walters emphatically proved me wrong. I think he is tops at 126 without question, and a new star in the sport.

The guy who said Walters is just a power puncher most likely never saw him fight

[tiliheels]

I agree, nobody beats him at 126 right now.

Happy for Walters, had faith in him and think he has a great career in front of him.

Donaire best days are in the lower weight class where he can dominate smaller fighters. Truth is, donaire is not that Good and once he feels power, he shies away. He should go back down or retire
