    I'd love to say that he doesn't but of course I'd be lying.. Walters has every chance of winning this fight as Loma, by outboxing ? No, but by overpowering & landing his hard shots first..

      I'm going with a Loma win for sure, but i definitely think Walters has a shot. It's an intriguing match-up.

        He is bigger and punches harder than Loma so of course he has a chance. With that being said Loma is going to school that ass something serious.

          No chance. Last southpaw Walters faced was Darchinyan, where Walters had a great gameplan, he was patient and waited for Vic to make a mistake. Up until that 2nd round uppercut, though, Vic was fighting nice.. Walters was getting spun and countered by a 38 yr old. Loma is different, Loma won't tire and he won't let Walters get near him, he will keep him on the outside, move then pounce then move again. Walters can't fight on the outside, Loma will frustrate Walters then time him when he starts getting wild

          Only way Walters can win is via KO
          Loma's movement/defense is too elite to let him get near enough for a KO
          No chance that Walters can win

            i couldnt believe it when i saw the odds, was expecting it to be pretty even. Walters is a top fighter, definitely has a chance. But im going with lomachenko, with the skills he has i think hes close to unbeatable once he fully adjusts to the pro game

              Walters' power is legit, but Lomachenko is the savvier operator in the ring and Walters has been out of the ring for basically a year come fight night.

              If Walters can effectively land, there may be trouble, but honestly doubt that his punch timing is anywhere near as sharp as it could've been if Top Rank even attempted to keep him active.
