I can dig it. I hope some good fights are already being made for December to hopefully join GGG_Jacobs to ball rolling.

November and December are shaping up very nicely!

SO happy that this fight is finally happening. Now, I wonder what Walters purse is, and how different it was from the first offer... that he refused! It would be funny if it was around the same. He wanted no less than a million to fight Lomachenko before.

This is exciting on paper... but will end in a near-shutout in favor of Lomachenko. I'm not excluding a late TKO for Loma. The difference in class is BIG. We're not talking Vic Darchinyan here.

Now this is an interesting match-up. I honestly have no idea who takes this one. Just gonna have to sit back and watch it unfold. I love those type of fights!

From what I've been hearing, Walters pay is about the same as the first offer. I guess a year on the shelf has him finally back to reality.

We're also not talking a chessmatch vs Russell Jr. Salido was effective to Loma's body. He will have to fix that before facing Walters, he is called the "axman" for that very reason. From the outside he has reach power and the piston jab. This is no easy fight, its career defining for Loma. Props to him for taking it now as opposed to later.

First, Salido failed to make weight. Second, he unleashed an awfully plenty low blows which fortunately for him was not seen by the referee. And still, he almost got KOed in the last round by a two-fight novice.

Very exciting fight... monumentous wise of each other's caree, depending on who wins. Both are looking for another huge win.. I see Lomachenko winning a wide unanimous decision but will not hold it against Walters to pull off the upset against he two time gold medalist. I see another Rigondeaux/Donaire type fight; where Rigondeaux put on a masterclass of boxing but boring the uneducated fans. Walters has been out for a year; arguably getting the biggest pay day of his career which could cause negative impacts.

I hope Walters pulls off an upset but also interested in the future of Lomachenko. Torn yet excited
