I can understand people picking Walters by KO/TKO but picking him to win on points is just silly.

lomachenko wins easy UD maybe even a late stoppage.walters win 2 to 3 rounds max.

Can't wait for this fight. I suspect that Loma does NOT coast to a boring decision either and picks things up in the later rounds. We saw in the Gary Russell fight that Loma was fighting smart but being very aggressive towards the end. I think we'll see the same thing here. Maybe a KO by bodyshot. Loma needs to watch out for Walters short uppercut on the inside and that trademark overhand right. Walters has the reach but unfortunately does not utilize it, this will be a big advantage for Loma who knows how to expertly control distance.

[Disturbed]

Really looking forward for this fight, very excited. I think it will be a good and exciting match, Loma maybe taking the decision. I think Loma will display great movement and mixing it up well to the head and body. But gotta be careful with Walters, he is a bigger man here and has a big reach advantage. And that power is pretty scary too.

Cant wait, dammit.

Why is Walters by decision a crazy prediction? Not like Lomachenko has never lost a decision to a much bigger pressure fighter before. If Walters consistently lands the bigger shots and never lets Loma get comfortable, of course he can win a decision.

Too many fans always fall into this trap of "the puncher can only win by knockout."

That's whatI'm thinking, too. The same way posters were saying that Kovalev could only win against Hopkins and Ward by KO. You don't have to look "cute" in the ring like Floyd in order to outbox someone and Kovalev vs Hopkins is a great example.

I don't think Walters is aggressive enough to pull this out. If he lays back an boxes Lomachenko he will give the fight away.
