It was a very bad performance against Lomachenko but I don't get the inactivity afterwards. I think he still had a lot to offer but if he's tied down to one of them Top Rank slave contracts then he's gonna have to wait that out. If not and he went up to 200+ lbs again then that's on him.

Whatever Happened To Nicholas Walters?

Rule of thumb, if a fighter is out for more than 18 months with no news that's the time to worry. It has been over 2 years. Nobody cares about him though, too bad. Maybe he will still come back like Viktor Postol eventually did.

I found Walters to be one of those guys like Broner and Linares who leaves me scratching my head over the hype they receive. His main claim to fame was beating aging Darchinyan and Donaire who were fighting in a division they didn't belong. He's a capable fighter but nothing special in my eyes and looked lackluster against Sosa (even though he should have gotten the W) prior to Loma.
Seems like his heart wasn't in it.

Probably the same thing happened to Joshua Clottey. Casuals can take you getting KTFO every time as long as you seem to give it your all in the ring. But quitting is a big No-No for them. It's a tough business for sure. For one moment, you think you may have survived the whole fight through cowardice only to find out your career might not.

Originally posted by ThunderFists View PostHaven't seen him since he got demolished by loma. Its a shame because i do believe walters could beat berchelt and farmer and mix it up with guys like gervonta. Anyone know what happened to the axeman?

Just the same that happened to Mike Jones back in 2012 against Bailey. Well, at least Walters became a world champ.
