Walters was originally brought on to be a Nonito opponent..... nobody knew who he was and before his undercard fight, had never been at that level. I mean, his stateside debut was untelevised.
He fought in only Jamaica and Panama before Bob signed him and Bob said that he'd try to make a fight between the two. X
That was shot down though after V12 won the super and the WBA said the two had to unify (since John never did), but for some reason let them fight on separate bouts on the same card.
Hell, before that, I thought Donaire would beat him... but his last two fights, the Vic fight especially, has made things really interesting and has shown this guy puts out vicious KO's. Still, Vic was the highest level opponent he's faced, would be interested to see what else he can do and I have a feeling we'll see soon enough
Now, I don't think Bob will put them in together and the WBA will oblige, for now at least
He'll put Walters on HBO and try to build him up and potentially match him with Nonito later.
But if Walters can put together KO's like that... Arum, although he probably won't admit it, stumbled upon a gem that he meant to sacrifice
