    Why is Lomachenko such a huge favorite over Walters?

    I can understand Loma being maybe a 2-1 favorite, but dude is like a 10-1 favorite over Walters right now..... wtf??

    Loma is great no doubt but his best win was Gary Russel Jr and he hasn't had that many fights.

    Walters was the first guy to KO Donaire, he was robbed in his last fight and admittedly didn't look as good, but he will likely be at his best in this fight.

    If the best Walters shows up he will give Loma a very very hard time and maybe even beat him.

    LOma is just improving with every fight. Showed he can sit down on his combinations against martinez and KO people. It was a 50/50 fight to me before I saw Loma is capable of putting more power behind his combos.

        Walters inactivity. And Arum is already talking about a Loma vs. Pacquiao fight. Vegas isnt' ******. Walters needs a KO to win this fight.

          With Adelaide Byrd and two of the same judges as last Saturday, Lomachenko may well be robbed.

            If Walters knocked Lomachenko out cold you would still come up with a theory about how Lomachenko was robbed. By the Ref, dirty tactics, the night air.....That's how your mind works and nothing will change it.

              No, if Walters wins fairly like Kovalev did on Saturday, I will give him full credit.

              My mind does NOT work like yours.

                No you wont. Stop lying. Notice how you always say "fairly" . You will always find an excuse.


                If Lomachenko wins a close fight like I expect you won't see my tears on here about how unfair it was. By the way, I didn't see you complaining about Walters-Sosa. You and I both know why.

                  Lomachenko's level of boxing experience is so high, it's like he has a radar that can easily detect most of the incoming punches. Really frustrating and tiring fight for Walters.

                    Agree, those odds are ridiculous. I can absolutely see Walters dominate the fight using his jab and reach.
