HACKENSACK, N.J. – Jason Sosa respects Nicholas Walters.
The unknown junior lightweight from Camden, N.J., just doesn’t consider himself the huge underdog he is perceived to be approaching their 10-round, 130-pound fight Saturday night in Verona, N.Y. The 27-year-old Sosa (18-1-3, 14 KOs) is taking an enormous step up in competition, yet views his HBO fight against Jamaica’s Walters (26-0, 21 KOs) as a 50-50 proposition.
“Walters was a great champion at 126, but he’s coming into my division,” Sosa said following a recent training session at Garden State School of Boxing. “It’s 50-50. Fifty is his because he has the experience. Fifty is mine because I’m the bigger and stronger guy. But it’s a big factor that he’s fighting a true 130-pounder, and a monster at that. He’s fighting a monster now.”
