Comments Thread For: Nicholas Walters To Remain in Featherweight Division

[Humean]

Hopefully he does try and stay at 126, a lot of good fights to be made there, if he goes to 130 though he could get a shot at Uchiyama which would be an amazing fight. 135 is less interesting but he could potentially dominate that weight class.

I want to see Lomachenko-Walters but I completely understand Lomachenko's team not trusting the unprofessional Walters to come in on weight especially after the Salido situation.

Sorry I'm pissing you off by using logic lol. Take some deep breaths and calm down.

You are right, once-bitten twice-shy.

A massive weight penalty is the obvious solution.

But not into rehydration clauses, or any other form of weight manipulation.

Who cares how he lost it, fact is, he lost it.... Plus he didn't even have the basic professionalism to make weight. I don't expect Loma to face him until he amends this with a title and in showing that weight issue was just one blip that won't be repated.

If he does all that, Loma will take him to school. Won't be competitive.

Now you are going too far, and it looks like excuse-making ?

Why say something that will obviously kill the fight completely, unless you dont want it ?

If Walters dedicates himself, I am sure he can make 126.

A massive weight penalty will ensure that.

Lomachanko can also refuse to fight him if he misses weight.

No need to make Walters fly to the moon first, therefore killing the fight.

Unless of course, you are happy with that?

He missed weight once, and he provided a (not really good enough, but understandable) reason.

I actually want the fight to happen, and I am only interested in a level playing field..... but I agree that the onus is on Walters to fit in, considering he was unprofessional.

A massive weight penalty, and Walters can take it or leave it. He can PROVE his commitment to Lomachanko by agreeing to pay if he falls short.

NO rehydration clause.

Guess Walters heard Uchiyama being mentioned as an opponent for his 130 run and decided that anorexia was a more appealing proposition...can't say I'm surprised

nowhere in his comment did he say he doesnt want to rigo vs lomo...sooooo u're level of protection for lomo at this point is neck high bru..we dont need protection plan fans in the sport of boxing..

This is not about Loma or this one post and it has nothing to do with Loma's stance regarding Walters and Rigo. It is about Hanz. IF you haven't been able to figure out Hanz by now, I seriously question your IQ; that or your observation prowess is one set of fries short of a happy meal. Hanz, since you haven't noticed, flaunts his bias against white fighters. No, that is not the proper word; he parades his bias and his double-standards are glaring. He knows he cant lie to himself and damn sure cant cloak his bias to anyone here. Trying to hide his bias would be a sin to him, he yells it off the rooftops.

He's just going to miss weight again.


He'd be a beast at 130. What's he afraid of?

I agree !

126/130..... for a guy with Walters physique/style, its not gonna make too much of a difference, aside from the potential paydays.

I think the reason why they have decided to stay at featherweight is because Walters can still make 126 without killing himself..... they know that Walters fcuked up and was unprofessional.

I dont blame Team Lomachenko for not trusting him.
