    Does Walters have a chance?

    Lomochenko is a 10-1 favorite but Walters got an 8 inch reach advantage speed and power I think people are sleeping on him.

    He has looked his worst so far against big fighters he can't overpower. That's obviously not Lomachenko. It's very possible that Walters imposes his size and strength on Loma and wins this fight, and I don't think enough people believe that.

          Rooting for Walters but this will be the toughest fight he could possibly take and respect to both for making the fight happen, i think their styles will mesh well, this one will be entertaining high level action

            Why not? He does his job very well so, Vasyl Lomachenko is a favorite of a fight but Walters has a chance too. I think this fight''ll be very enjoyable.

                I think Loma will win but Walters is a damn good fighter and shouldn't be a 10 to 1 underdog in my opinion. With his hand speed and wicked two handed power he has a chance to win. Look what he did to Donaire.

                  Walters hasn't looked good for quite some time now. Hasn't it been 3 fights since Donaire?

                  Loma may have an issue with the size but once he starts timing Walters and landing often, I'm not sure if Walters will like the heat in the kitchen.

                  Then again, if the carib puncher can turn back the clock to that night against Donaire, Loma will be in for a hard night.

                    No idea why people are counting Walters out. Maybe they box rec'd his last fight rather than watching it.
                    I think he's got the potential to wreck Loma. But, he's going to have to go after it like he did with Donaire. If he acts complacent thinking he's winning rounds like with Sosa, he could get buried on the cards. His length and strength should overcome if he plays smart, I'm just not entirely sure that he will.
