Comments Thread For: Lomachenko : If Nicholas Walters is Ready, I'm Ready!

[junior gong]

For a guy with 4 fights he already has a half decent resume.

Lomachenko isn't ready for Walters yet in my opinion. Walters isn't Salido or Russel, he is about 2 step above of those two.

Have to disagree with you there, Walters is a decent fighter but right now is depending on his physical gifts to get him through fights.

In a fight with Loma, his physical gifts with diminish and he won't be fighting a past his prime bantamweight.

Also I don't think Walters has a very good chin and he could be knocked out, but that's why they should get in the ring and fight.

I would like to see this match up, but I think Arum is going to let this fight marinate for a little bit. Which l don't have a problem with as long as they fight good opponents in the meantime. Like I would like to see Loma vs Salido & maybe Walter's vs Gonzalez at 126, are still some solid match ups. I think Salido might be a little on the heavy side now. who knows, he might be moving up to 130 or 135.

Lomochenko said he wants a rematch with Salido, but Salido just won the WBO 130lb title and said he can't cut weight past that. Not sure how much demand there is for a rematch anyways. Bob would likely kill that fight.

Walters would destroy Loma right this moment. As fast and well schooled as Loma is, he lacks the power and stamina to deal with Walters. I noticed the stamina issue just last night.

Yeah Loma wanted the rematch, to bad Salido already has gone up in weight. Loma will just have to take on the champions there at 126 and clean it up.

Gotta love lomachenko's attitude. dude just wants to fight the best. He looked bored against the thai dude.

[Dr Rumack]

I don't think there's an issue with Loma's conditioning at all. Quite the opposite, given how hard he works he seems to be in exceptional shape. Even in the Salido fight he looked stronger in the 12th which was astonishing for a guy in his 2nd pro fight.

His physical strength and power could be an issue though. His footwork is dazzling and all, but I would like to see him just step into the pocket and drill an opponent occasionally. If he'd done that more often against Salido he would have beaten him.

This attitude is how you build a fanbase. Win or lose you fight the best guy who will step in the ring with you.
