HBO Ratings For December 19 Boxing After Dark Season Finale

Walters Insists All Fights At 126 and 130 On The Table

Verona, NY – Regardless of how the three judges viewed his fight with Jason Sosa, the plan for Nicholas Walters and promoter Top Rank is to proceed as if he won their 1o-round bout Saturday evening at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York. The unbeaten former featherweight champion from Jamaica appeared to have dominated Camden, New Jersey-bred Sosa over the course of their HBO-televised co-feature. Most observers had Walters winning anywhere from eight to all ten rounds in what served as his first official bout at the super featherweight limit after having vacated his featherweight title at the scales earlier this year.

Nicholas Walters: It's Christmas So I Gave Sosa One Round

Verona, NY – It took Nicholas Walters more than an hour to wrap his head around what took place in his latest ring performance. The former featherweight performance was believed to have dominated Camden, New Jersey slugger Jason Sosa over 10 rounds in their HBO-televised co-feature Saturday evening at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York.

VERONA, NEW YORK - The 2015 boxing year culminated with a tremendous show at Turning Stone Resort Casino as WBA Interim Heavyweight Champion Luis "The Real King Kong" Ortiz (24-0, 21 KOs) closed the show by maintaining his title with a knockout-of-the-year candidate over Bryant "Bye - Bye" Jennings (19-2, 10 KOs) in the seventh round of their scheduled bout live on HBO Boxing After Dark.

Nicholas Walters on Decision: I'm in Total Shock!

VERONA, NEW YORK - The co-main event saw two Super Featherweights - former WBA Featherweight and Super Featherweight World Champion Nicolas "Axe Man" Walters (26-0-1, 21 KOs) and Jason Sosa (18-1-4, 14 KOs) -- wage a superb battle with both fighters landing tremendous sharp, accurate shots throughout the fight. While Sosa won the fight on one of the judge's cards, the fight was ruled a draw as the two other judges had the fight even.

Walters Dominates Sosa But Denied By Judges

Verona, NY -- There are still 12 days left before 2015 comes to a close, but it stands to reason that Nicholas Walters will remain the victim of the worst boxing robbery of the year. The former featherweight champion appeared to have outworked Jason Sosa throughout their 10-round bout Saturday evening at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York. The three judges saw an entirely different fight, as the HBO-televised co-feature was ruled a majority draw. Tom Schreck - normally one of the best judges in the game - somehow had Sosa winning 96-94. Matching cards of 95-95 from judges Don Ackerman and Wynn Kintz were nearly as bad, but at least spared Walters the embarrasment of being dealt his first loss in what should have been a landslide win

Walters Will Be Surprised If Sosa Last More Than Four Rounds

Nicholas Walters won’t allow Jason Sosa to do to him what Walters did to Nonito Donaire. Jamaica’s Walters says he hasn’t overlooked the unknown Sosa and predicted he will win their 10-round, 130-pound fight Saturday night in impressive, fast fashion. Walters (26-0, 21 KOs) will make his full-fledged junior lightweight debut against Sosa (18-1-3, 14 KOs) in a fight HBO will air as the opener of a “Boxing After Dark” telecast set to start at 10:15 p.m. ET/PT from Verona, N.Y.

Jason Sosa Aims To Expose The Flaws of Walters

Jason Sosa knows he is fighting in the biggest fight of his young career. You wouldn't know by the relaxed demeanor he has been in the lead up to the fight. "I'm taking this as another fight."

Walters Focused on Sosa, Ignores Thoughts of Uchiyama

For the moment, all that Nicholas Walters wants to focus on is his first official fight in the 130 lb. division and Jason Sosa, his opponent for this weekend. So much that he’s not at all concerned with what already lies ahead, as he prepares for a dangerous clash with knockout artist Jason Sosa. The two collide this weekend at Turning Stone Resort & Casino in Verona, New York, with HBO to televise. The bout serves as the co-feature to a heavyweight clash between unbeaten secondary titlist Luis Ortiz and top contender Bryant Jennings.

Sosa: Walters Was Great At 126, But In With "A Monster"

HACKENSACK, N.J. – Jason Sosa respects Nicholas Walters. The unknown junior lightweight from Camden, N.J., just doesn’t consider himself the huge underdog he is perceived to be approaching their 10-round, 130-pound fight Saturday night in Verona, N.Y. The 27-year-old Sosa (18-1-3, 14 KOs) is taking an enormous step up in competition, yet views his HBO fight against Jamaica’s Walters (26-0, 21 KOs) as a 50-50 proposition. “Walters was a great champion at 126, but he’s coming into my division,” Sosa said following a recent training session at Garden State School of Boxing. “It’s 50-50. Fifty is his because he has the experience. Fifty is mine because I’m the bigger and stronger guy. But it’s a big factor that he’s fighting a true 130-pounder, and a monster at that. He’s fighting a monster now.”
