Walters is being set up to be called a ducker.

[_original_]

Arum started the Uchiyama rumor two days before Walters fight with Sosa. The Uchiyama announcement came out of the blue and hasn't been confirmed by anyone but Arum. Walters nor Uchiyama's management has spoken about it being agreed to. We don't even know if Walters is still signed to Top Rank. His last fight was was supposedly his last fight under TR and when asked about his current status with TR here was their response:

Spoke with someone that works with Nicholas Walters, was evasive when asked their contract situation with Top Rank #boxing

Walters is co-promoted with Warriors Boxing, a promotional outfit that does a lot of business with PBC. If Walters contract is up with TR, popular opinion is Walters will sign with Haymon and fight for PBC. By Bob coming out with these Uchiyama rumors he has everyone thinking he's going to make a fight with both fighters who aren't even signed to him and neither fighter's management has confirmed.

So when Walters signs with Haymon everyone will say he's ducking Uchiyama. Once again, Arum started this rumor 2 days before Walters fight with Sosa and nobody but Arum has confirmed they'll fight. Arum also told us Bradley vs. Ali was a go for Nov. 21st in Dubai. Bradley wound up fighting Rios. Arum also told us Rios vs. Brook was a go. Rios ended up fighting Bradley. Arum also told us Pacquiao could pick whomever he wanted for his last fight in April. Pacquiao picked Broner, Arum shut that fight down and Pacquiao will be fighting Bradley again. He's also saying it's not Pac's last fight.

Arum does have guaranteed dates with HBO. Uchiyama is 36 years old and could be looking for one fight in America before he ends his career. Bob could convince him to come fight on HBO in America against a fighter that's actually signed to TR, Jason Sosa. And then we'll start hearing Walters ducked Uchiyama by running to Haymon. This is how opinions are formed and everyone forgets what was actually going on. Just look at the thread about Uchiyama right now. Everyone is acting as if the fight is a sure thing but no one but Bob is talking about it. But if that scenario happens it's the fault of PBC. They don't get ahead of this stuff and Bob is the master of media manipulation. If they are on the verge of signing Walters they need to also be in touch with Uchiyama's management to set a fight up.

If anyone has info showing Walters is still with TR or that Uchiyama's management has confirmed they've agreed to a fight in America with Bob please post it.

I think you're spot on, green k sent.

So did Margarito when the fight was being "hyped"....

Yeah that's right, but Margarito was a 5'11 long arms guy who could trouble more floyd than Gatti who was smaller than him

This could all be for naught if his contract is in fact not done with TR. Bob usually has options in his contracts so we will see.

co-sign. Bobs way of throwing shade on fighters.

Yeah that's right, but Margarito was a 5'11 long arms guy who could trouble more floyd than Gatti who was smaller than him

But he had 4 losses. Based on your post, that should've disqualified him as a viable opponent. Too late to backtrack now.

Oh, for the record, Gatti had more than 4 losses at the time of the fight.

[techliam]

Yeah because you're not bias right...NO WAY!

The irony here is that my supposed 'bias' was a reasoned argument, yours is a pretty random personal attack for no apparent reason.

Everyones biased brother, in some form. Just call it out when it seems to overtake reasoning, not when you've seen someones avatar and jumped to conclusions. Thats kindergarten-level stuff man, come on..

[killakali]

Where did you read that because I've been trying to find out if he re-signed but haven't seen anything

I read somewhere that he resigned before the last bout or had some sort of option exercised on an extention. I will try to find a link. I personal think he will starch that japanese dude. hes seen better days

[boliodogs]

they got to figure out a way to keep walters fighting little guys 3 classes below him and make him look like a fearless beast

It worked on me because I think Walters is a fearless beast. I think he is one of the best fighters in the world and 130 is his proper weight. I thought he won all 10 rounds of his last fight which was called a draw. I think he will be hard to beat at 130 pounds if his fights are scored correctly.

if he is such a beast aint no need for scoring for fighting little guys. scoring involved fighting guys who are maybe his size. that last guy he fought walked thru and laughed at his punches and was a push pillow puncher selected for that reason. when walters fights a guy his size that can hit it will be different outcome
