Originally posted by Hougigo View PostWalters 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

I was on Donaire then and picked him for this fight....Walters too big and strong for Donaire. Jab was good in the fight too
Went down at the end of the 6th just like Pac.... unlike that though, Pac was coming on and Donaire was wilting after the third
Good for Walters, let's see if Johnny is next.

He has some star potential no doubt. If he can keep winning and making statements I think he could go pretty far.

I'm hoping Bob actually puts these good fights together... but odds are if nothing happens... it'll be Donaire/Gonzo with Walters/Cuellar.
I hope not though

Walters destroyed him. I picked Walters by KO, but he literally beat Nonito at every facet of boxing. I've never seen Walters look as good as he did tonight, and then you take the opposition into account. Nonito's skill/experience never seemed to come into play.
I think Walters is part of TR's next batch of stars.
