Where the hell is Nicolas Walters, didnt a guy he beat just win a trinket

[Rip Chudd]

sounds pretty bad....any links?

Im not too quick to call pro fighters duckers...a lot of politics decide if fights are made or not

It's on this site somewhere man, I don't really delve into the money too much cause I don't really care.

Here is one link though

yea....doesnt seem like something to put to much energy into.....what fighter puts their own money up for an opponent? if this true, i wished Wlaters wouldve called his bluff

if Walters is with Top Rank I expect him to be shelved until he is rustier than a '75 Catalina

That's why I like fighters like Broner, Maidana, and I'm trying to recall others with the same confident attitude when they enter the ring. Even though they don't always win their fights. And I believe 50% of it is all mental.

I saw it in the Peterson vs Garcia, where Lamont suddenly went toe to toe with Garcia in the later rounds making Danny fight for his life. At that point, Peterson stopped listening to his corner and let Peterson be Peterson.

One of the Charlo brothers, Jermell Charlo, seemed mentally formidable in his last fight. He fights like GGG. I'll favor him over Andrade. Hope it gets made.

I dont know about him beating Andrade....so far he seems to be the most complete out of the current crop at 154....size, speed, power, counters, and a good jab, can fight inside and on the pivot

would be nice to see

I'd also venture to say Jermell got some GGG streak in him in terms of confidence. He does get hit, but so do everyone.

I don't like Andrade's style of bending too low ready to clinch as a defense tactic. The guy lacked inside game. He'd rather clinch. I'd like to see Jermell neutralize that Andrade's ugly style.

he's one of these fighters demanding 1 million dollar paychecks now. He turned down lomochenko cause it wasnt a million dollars.

No he wanted a 50/50 split with Lomachenko. Which he deserved.

A guy with less than 10 fights is due 850k and you get 500k.

It wasn't a fair deal. It's not like loma was some kind of box office draw.

Walters was right for demanding more money. Hbo cheap ass rather spend money on fights that have no impact on the sport like crawford vs lundy and golovkin vs wade

he wanted a ton of money to fight lomachenko.

he asked for a million dollars, which, for a tiny little guy with almost no following, is also known as a duck.



walters' main advantage was his ridiculous size at FW. dude was absolutely enormous. 5'7" tall, and 73 inches of reach, according to the boxrec. that's an inch shorter than floyd mayweather, and an inch longer reach.

he clearly killed himslef to get down to 26, and he was fighting smaller guys and looking spectacular.

the donaire win, being that it was a knockout over a future hall of famer in an exciting fight, earned him a lot of points in a lot of books, but he did nothing to capitalize on it, and he's looked more an more ordinary as he's fought guys his size.

you have to remember that darchinyan had an arguable hall of fame career at 112-115, and donaire had a hall of fame career from 112-122, and was the hardest punching bantamweight i've ever seen. these were very good little guys, but they were smaller than walters, a not so little guy who dries out to make 126, and they were also at the end of their careers.

He didn't ask for a million he asked for the same purse Lomachenko was guaranteed 850k. Instead of the 500k he was offered.

Why would Walters who has been fighting longer than Lomachenko and had accomplished the same thing as Lomachenko (126 title) take damn near half of what loma was gonna get?

And the oh I'll give you 300K if you beat me **** is pointless because the judges can always have a bad night. Pacquiao vs bradley style

Well, fight didn't happen did it? Walters got zero money. The opportunity to beat a hype job is also lost, which was equally valuable than zero.

your posts makes plenty of sense

You know how you guys are saying Danny Jacobs shouldn't fight Golovkin unless he gets paid all that money, well Nicholas Walters is following your advice.

He's just waiting to get what he thinks he deserves
