    The odds are insane in favor of Lomachenko. I'm putting some coin on Axeman Walters.
    Good fight for sure this Saturday!

      I'll just keep my thoughts here on what I have personally thought were the most anticipated fights for this year
      1. Roman Gonzalez Vs. Carlos Cuadras
      2. Oleksandr Usyk Vs. Krzysztof Glowacki
      3. Vasyl Lomachenko Vs. Nicholas Walters
      4. Keith Thurman Vs. Shawn Porter
      5. Carl Frampton Vs. Scott Quigg
      6. Carl Frampton Vs. Leo Santa Cruz
      7. Gennady Golovkin Vs. Kell brook
      8. Sergey Kovalev Vs. Andre Ward
      9. Saul Alvarez Vs. Amir Khan
      10. Terence Crawford Vs. Viktor Postol


      Carl Frampton clear FOTY winner for me but those are what I think are the most anticipated fights in that order.

      Some times PPV numbers do them credit for that and other times I think its just the hype in the media it's been a relatively quiet sort of year though.
      Yep, Frampton fighter of the year and it's a no contest. Back to back world caliber opponents is a rarity these days, to do it for world titles across 2 divisions including an unification is almost extinct in modern fighters. Frampton should get a lot of credit for all that.

      And in all honesty, even though both fights were close, Frampton showed he was clearly the better, more varied fighter in both.

        Think it comes down to Loma's footwork, and if Walters can track him down while he is getting chain combo'ed in the process.

        If Walters can establish his jab early, might be a long night for Loma.

        I'll be in the RBR thread.

        You know.

        Where the "non-hardcores" are.
        I dunno what "broski" is but if it's ******ed American talk, I don't care.

        As for the fight, I've never seen Walters establish a dominant jab, not in the 4 or 5 fights I have seen of his so I'm not sure how he is supposed to do that against the bets prime fighter he will have faced.

        Walters landing solid, big shots is not out of the question though and Lomas chin hasn't been properly tested.

        I really like Walters too but I just feel Loma is better and I like his movement over Walters power.

            People were talking about this fight when it was a possibility at '26, and they are talking about it now.

            All these fucking dipshits trying to run a narrative about who or what we talk about on here with join dates of '15 need to log the fuck off.

              Such as? I don't see many people rooting for Walters. Even you agree because you made a topic asking why is Walters being overlooked

                I dunno about that but he will overwhelm Walters with speed and numbers.

                The Axeman has a punchers chance.
