Comments Thread For: Lomachenko-Walters Showdown is Still Possible

Not really interested. Walters has no business at featherweight. And I'm not gonna wait with baited breath for some grand catch weight matchup. Walters puts an asterisk by himself rehydrating so much for a fight. If he 145 on fight night, then fight at 135. If he remains as impressive, then I will be impressed.

If Walters can't make the weight what do you want Top Rank to do? It still could be made unless either fighter goes on the decline, which both seem like the real deal so we shall see.

The problem is the fight couldve been made. They both have the same promoter, both in the same division and both had titles. What do we want TR to do? Make the dang fight.

Of course wed all love to see the fight, however Walters is clearly too big for featherweight. He came in at 145 while loma only rehydrates about 10 lbs, which means a huge size disparity. Walters should and will probably move up to 130 while Loma should and will probably be looking to unify at 126. It sucks we may not get to see it for awhile, however they both have good options if not each other. They are clearly not in the same weight class anymore which is really nobodies fault, Walters just outgrew 126. To put it in perspective, Walters weighs almost as much as pacquiao does on fight night. If your mad about them not making Walters Loma, you should be even more mad about them not making Walters pacquiao, since they are alot closer in weight than Walters and Loma are

If Axe Man can make weight then make the damn fight! If not then im sure Loma will be following him soon as the rate he's going he will have cleaned out the division before long and then they can get it on. Its a juicy fight but its not one that just HAS to happen especially if it involves catchweights

Starting to sound like mayweather-pacquiao.....eventually when they're in their late 30's.....

Not sure how you could even possibly conclude that. Their situations aren't anything alike.

get loma back in the ****ing ring already.

This was his first time being over weight - his 1st time - where do you get the " he needs a huge weight advantage to win" from?? Everything you stated is called speculation and that doesn't hold up in a court of law - leave it alone, I could see if he was a serial overweight fighter - meaning (Brandon Rios / Joan Guzman / Costillo ) these guys barely made weight in their original weight classes - Walters is a beast - in my eyes he is very beatable, but still a beast for his division

You don't have to be overweight to have a weight advantage...you missed my point... Walters' only real opposition has been his last 3 fights...he fought two much smaller guys moving up in weight and this fight...

Make it at 128. **** a belt. Save the sanctioning fees and let's make a fight that will shake up the p4p list.

I think you mean Gamboa - Juanma.

Kinda losing interest in this fight. Why? The Loma defense team will play the same card they did with Salido. Claiming that Walters was too big while saying that Rigo should move up to face Loma.
