Lomachenko v Walters unification planned for October

[BennyST]

Great fight! Can't wait. I think Walters has become a little overrated since his two big wins over Darch and Donaire. Very good fighter, but I think his power is a little overdone. Donaire had nearly just been shut out by 40 year Darchinyan, then got his ass kicked by someone in his prime in Walters.

So I think Loma should win this one, but it'll certainly be dangerous for him. Walters size shouldn't be too much of a factor either because Loma is a pretty big, solid dude himself. Great matchup though.

It's awesome that Loma is jumping straight into these top fights. He's like those crazy Thai guys that come straight into title fights after 2, 3, or 4 fights. They've got the experience behind them so why not? Gives them more time at the top instead of wasting a few years trying to get to the top slowly.

The longer it is, the more the fight is in favour of Loma. Rigo isn't getting any younger and Loma is improving every fight.



I see it being more of a long night for Walters, trying to find a way to use that power. Having power is all well and good, but you need a launcher for the missile also. Loma's defense and movement will give Walters fits. Loma also has a very good chin.

In any case, there's talk that Walters' next opponent is no pushover so this might all be a moot point! Would be crazy if that happened, haha.

I think you're underestimating Walters skill level. He's not just a power puncher, he has a very good jab as well as a solid defense

I have this fight 50/50 right now but Walters presents problems for Lomachenko and vice versa.

Yeah, I actually think Loma beats Rigo rather easily. He's just going to find a way to rough Rigo up imo. That's what he'll need to do to make it an easier night instead of both trying to box, which they're both great at. Rigo is fragile imo.
I agree Loma would only keep improving, the only thing that worries me is that he's had hand problems the last two fights. I hope he doesn't have fragile hands. Maybe it's because he doesn't sit down on his punches or they haven't found a way to properly wrap his hands as a pro or who knows what it could be.
I think Loma is ready for Walters now, they shouldn't let it marinate. Loma has bigger fish to fry in the future. Loma is going to have to be cautious especially in the early rounds against Walters. Walters throws pretty wide shots, I feel like Loma would be able to work in between those shots. Walters has been dropped and hurt before so he might not have a great chin. Marriaga, although untested, can present trouble for Walters for sure.

Nah... Walters is the real deal.. I guarantee you he takes Loma out... Knock out before the championship rounds.

You know, I read a bunch of posts about this fight, and I think alot of you will be shocked by the outcome. Walters doesn't need to load up on his power shots.He can throw a little uppercut and drop you.

Wide shots? WTF

Chill the F down. That's my opinion if you don't feel like that, than that's you.

Your wrong about the wide shots.

Your wrong about the wide shots.

Like I said that's what I see then that's what I see. If you see something different than that's your opinion. Boxing is subjective.

People tend to see what they want to see.I dont think its that subjective , he either does or doesn't. What fight would you suggest I watch that best displays him throwing wide shots?
