Oh how we love to rewrite history. Here was Dan Rafael just after the fight was made between Loma and Walters:
Boxing fans are rarely unanimous in their opinions. We will usually argue about everything and anything. But when I wrote Tuesday about Top Rank finalizing a deal for a fight between junior lightweight titleholder Vasyl Lomachenko and Nicholas “Axe Man” Walters, the outpouring of opinions from readers on social media was striking.
They were unanimous in their adoration of this great matchup. It really is an outstanding match, at least on paper, and a great addition to a 2016 HBO schedule that has been rather disappointing overall. This perks it up big time.
