    My feelings on Lomachenko...

    He is undoubtly skilled. Very fast. However, I can't forget his loss to Salido as easily his fans can. He showed to have a hard time handling pressure.

    I respect him for fighting Walters now. But I have a feeling he's not ready to fight at that level yet. If he beat Walters, I will regard him as one of the best boxers in the world. But what if he loses? What will people think about him then? Will it hurt his career a lot?

    I honestly can't see him beating Walters, Walters has a high work rate, fast, and very powerful

        The reason a lot of people overlook the Salido fight is because it was his second fight, Salido was overweight, and fought a really ugly fight. Most guys at 20 fights don't take that kind of risk. Losing to Walters would really hurt his momentum though.

          How do you feel the fight will go? IMO, it's too big of a step-up in class.

            Walters is big and strong but he don't have that flat out rough in your face style like Salido.

            It was a close fight anyway, it's not like he got dominated he could've easily got the decision.

              I mean, yea, he is a TR fighter after all. But as far as the fight went... no.

                And he almost had his ass out in the 12th. Tough fight for Loma at that point in his career, what was it like his 3rd fight?

                    Salido defeats anyone in the world if they face him on their 2nd pro bout. ANYONE!

                    He has learned from that experience and as much as I love Salido I think the rematch will be different.

                    Walters vs Lomo is a great match up cause the its really power vs skills, walters is skilled but that skills relay heavy on his power and lomo is very skilled and his power comes from setting his shots up.

                    so a great clash imo. I think Lomochenko wins in a 9-4 type of bout.
