    Yea, I'd favor Loma much more at 126. The fight should be at 126 though. Loma has no need to move up to 130 for Walters. It's on Walters to come down for Loma (which the the weight they were supposed to fight at for a unification last year but Walters messed up).

        At 126, Loma would light him up. At 130, Walters would be able to use his size and power to make it risky. Loma is a class or two above though, so he should pull through.

          Donaire is a pretty big money fight that could be made.

            You'd rather see that than Walters? Is Donaire coming up or a catchweight?

              Walters = power + size + reach, shown a lot from his arsenal and seems well-rounded.

              Lomachenko = quick hands + smooth footwork + southpaw angles, hasn't really had to apply his vaunted amateur pedigree/experience yet.

              A hard fight to pick, but a great match-up.

                No, I rather see a Walters fight. I said that Loma doesn't need to move up to 130 to fight Walters right away since Donaire at 126 is a makable big money fight.

                  Depends on if Walters is still shopping around. If so, he will need to win by KO, because he will get shafted on the cards.

                    The last guys Walters KOed were former flyweights. Not even sure if Walters will land a clean punch to Lamachenko.

                      Loma has more tools, is more well rounded, just as fast, and has a better boxing IQ. Loma by decision in what will be a high speed, violent, chess match.
