Lomachenko vs Walters Appears To Be Set
A great fight I'm sure a lot of boxing fans here are looking forward to. No date set though.
Without the venue, date or network resolved we should probably not celebrate yet.
That would be a huge fight, the future best stars against one another. That is a novelty.
Excellent fight. Might end up on Showtime. I think this takes place at 130. Walters trying to boil down is a bad idea.
I see this fight as an 116-112 win for Lomachenko. Entertaining, can´t wait!
I say Walters 115-113Quote:

He didn't even try to make weight for Marriaga and when he weighed in a pound heavy Roy said he walked around the block once. Perhaps you are right though or they do some catch thing. Maybe the Russian is getting a little tired of struggling also. He's pretty big himself.Quote:

I think it would be actually a testing time for both, though Walters looks bigger so he'd have (I think) an advantage at a higher weight. It depends on what weight they do it at.Quote:

Can't decide really* so that for me means a promising fight, coupled with the fact that both are top notch.
*Nah, Lomachenko for sure; he's a skilled leftie with wicked footwork.
BTW, according to Boxrec, Walters has about an 8-inch reach advantage!
Be terrific if it gets made.
Loma either stands him on his head or has his head blasted off. Excellent fight.
I remember Walters claiming that the 8 months inactivity leading up to the Donaire fight had contributed to him missing weight. That was October 2014. Since then he fought the Sosa fight at 130. I'm not sure how comfortable he will be losing those extra pounds and what condition he would enter the ring in.Quote:

Lomachenko is not unhittable but I'm not sure Walters has enough power to spark him at 130 or above. Lomachenko on points.
3-2-16 and they are still talking!Quote:

I would suspect that the Ukrainian Lomachenko would not like to be called Russian. Just saying, friend))Quote:

Make it happen! Would love to see the uppercuts on the inside as both shine with it, tremendous punch both! Interested to see where Walters head is at coming off that Sosa robbery. Will he over compensate and fight dumb and heavy seeing Loma thread him badly or fight to full potential, motivated.
Would just like to point out this fight is still not done. Bob is using the "not enough money" line again, saying "this is a Lomachenko date, if Walters won't come down MORE we will fight someone else"
I really hope this happens but I still highly doubt it because Bob never wanted this fight.
Good ol' scarum Arum. What's his gripe, Walters weight or money. Both?Quote:

Ever notice it's never Walters that is saying what Walters is saying? It's always Arum or Lomas manager saying what Walters is saying. The funny thing about it is they can't agree what Walters is saying. Bob has already said Walters price is coming down but here we have Lomas manager speaking for Walters and saying his price is going up. Seen this play beforeQuote:
