Comments Thread For: Arum: Lomachenko-Walters Could Be FOTY - Unlike Ward-Kovalev

[LoadedWraps]

This fight is nowhere near the level of Kovalev Ward.It the fight is action packed it'll be because of Walters not Lomachenko

What a ridiculously ****** thing to say.

Sounds like you aren't familiar with either fighter.

He might be right though that Walters Loma might be a better action fight but a lot of **** goes into making a fight memorable. The status of the fighters is a big key. I watch two bums go to war on solo boxeo every week, we don't care because it's not important. Ward Kovalev was important for mad reasons. Battle for #1 p4p. It was a title fight. Both unbeaten. Ward moving up when GGG and Nelo both acting soft when it comes to moving up. Sergey being a monster puncher drops Ward but then Ward comes back and makes it a fight. Bob needs to just ride the wave and hope this fight gives us something good.

No you don't, and don't speak for all of us.


A fight doesn't need to have big time implications or huge names to be memorable or a FOTY candidate.

Did people actually view Kov/Ward as a bad fight? I mean I was pretty intoxicated and was watching it alone but I thought it was a great fight. I remember thinking that was one of the best "mega fights" I had seen in a while. But then again I was pretty drunk so maybe that impacted my enjoyment of it.

Possibly, but why is everyone so quick to burn Kov-Ward? It was the most significant fight that can be made and they made it happen. And then unlike so many similar great matchups like ODLH-Trinidad and so on it was actually a great fight.

Anyway really looking forward to Loma-Walters.

No I don't?? Are u ****** or something?? I literally have that **** set to record every week. Gtfoh. Lol and a fight doesn't need big names to be memorable but when u have two guys the status of Kovalev and Ward, two bums can give u the same type of fight and it won't mean nearly as much.

Exactly! Ward is too smart to just stand at the end of Kovalev's punches and Kovalev is far from a crude brawler with huge power. What can one reasonably expect from from this clash of styles! However, Kovalev's power keeps a tension throughout the entire fight because at all times Ward is walking on a tight rope which in turn keeps the viewer on the edge also. Even as Ward was getting more "comfortable" in the second half, we all knew that his efforts could all be undone with one single mistake.

that was my original post in this thread. I agree that this fight might be a more entertaining fight. I love Loma bro, he's probably my favorite fighter right now to watch.
