Comments Thread For: Walters: He's The Same Lomachenko as The One That Lost To Salido

[pyrnard]

being honest here Donaire was really never a good boxer he was looking sloppy on his last fight the idiot thought he won never really tried to finish him when his opponent was hurt.

That's not the point of my post. Russell fights nothing like Salido. He's Lomachenko's size and a boxer. Walters, like Salido is much bigger and applies pressure to break fighters down. So this is the first time since Salido that Loma has faced that challenge on a top class level.

OK, and my point is that he's one of the dirtiest fighters out today, which is the ONLY reason lomachenko lost that fight. Walters better be prepared to be just as dirty, that's his only chance aside from landing a big punch.

Donaire at his best was a beast. He's a shell of himself these days. The Donaire that got KO'd by Walters was not the same, especially with the going up in weight.

I'd say the most legit I've seen Donaire being beat was to Rigo and where is the shame in losing to Rigo? Even after being outclassed to hell against Rigo, he still managed to drop him.

Walters can box and brawl to beat Lomachenko he needs to get inside make it a brawl

[SkillspayBills]

He's gotten better and more acclimated to th e professional game with each fight. Walters does not know what he is in for. Can't wait for this bout!

But Walters pressure is completely different then the pressure Salido brings tho

donaire was small at 126,and Walters Rehydrates aloft,
Darchinyan also a small fighter compared to Walters,
Moves up and suddenly can't KO marriage and Sosa.
Sosa who was easy to hit by the way,
so they say he will chop down Lomachenko
I don't see it happening at all but you never know,
I just don't wanna hear any excuses when Loma takes him to Ukrainian university

Walters is slower in his the salido in coming to close the distance to come inside,he uses more of a technical approach,salido just jumps in,Loma will be too fast for him

Brings up a point that I really wonder about. Salido will physically put himself ON you in every way. He frequently grabbed Loma with one hand to hit him with the other, without actually clinching.

Walters is a much cleaner puncher. He doesn't open himself up grabbing or leaning like Salido does. His pressure is crisp, hard punching. I don't think he's going to beat Loma doing that as Loma is too sharp and will beat him to the punch. I think he's going to have to get gritty, going to have to go after it. My one hesitation in picking Walters is that I don't think he's going to make that transition.

You described here exactly what i was thinking,Salido made it hard for Loma to get away from the pressure by holding and flying in,Walters don't do that,giving Loma the chance to use his footwork and dance away possibly,or beat him too the punch as you said
