Walters looked off at weigh in, bit drawn. He almost comes off 'just happy to be here too' in lead up. Lomas work rate will be hell to keep up with after early rounds.
Didn't see the weigh in, but just saw that Walters is an 11 to 1 underdog some places as of todayLoma was always going to be the favourite and I expected him to win clearly, but that suggests something surely. Hope it's not the case Walters is drained or ill prepared, I just want to see a good fight as this certainly should have been on paper.
Oh no doubt about it and all you can hope from sport, best facing the best. Like Walters to bring Loma to the brink myself but the weight, layoff, and wonder if he's stuck mentally on that robbery draw vs Sosa and then watching him go on to win title. But that's probably me reading to much into it. Can also blame that hat. Can't remember many fighters waving a ganja leaf flag while promoting biggest fight of his career

It would seem that in no way he would be unmotivated for this fight. It's a huge fight and could really boost him big if he even just does well. I didn't see the weigh in but I really hope Walters comes in ready.
I think that people tend to forget that Walters was very highly regarded just a couple of years ago and he hasn't lost. He got that draw in a fight that he easily won. He is a very good fighter. 11 to 1 odds is way too wide. Loma is good, but he isn't THAT good. Even a fighter on Floyd mayweathers level shouldn't be an 11 to 1 favorite to someone as good as Walters.
Stickied for fight. Not sure if they are showing Ponomarev v Ortiz ? but it's a Kov-Ward replay now.
Poma vs Ortiz on now, typical Arum undercard so far, assuming this is the last of the filler.
We're getting an eight rounder and it's billed as the co main event apparently. Colonel Bob commentating. It's so bad I've switched to UFC.
put some water down his crotch, put some water down his crotch, put some water down here..... wards corner is almost like poetry :S.... no pomaranian v mexican guy on hbo here :S
I love me some Colonel Bob. Thank fuck that's over with.
The purses tonight.
Lomachenko $1m.
Walters $300.1k.
Shitty end of the straw for Walters. Loma a massive favourite with the bookies. Probably he ballroom dances around the ring all night and racks up the points but he definitely can be hit and Walters can test his chin properly. I hope we see a fight rather than an exhibition but at least a Loma exhibition is something worth seeing. I'm supporting the underdog as per.
