Comments Thread For: Team Lomachenko: We Have ZERO Interest in Walters

[Corelone]

Weigh in on fight day. Who benefits by 24 hrs to rehydrate? Not the athletes, I've seen same day weigh in fights and they just train for it. 24 hrs later somebody has a 20 lb weight advantage, feathers fighting at welter. Walter almost decapitated Nonito, he won't decapitate Pedraza based on size alone.

Pedraza is a beast. Hopefully him and Loma meet in the future. That would be such a great match to watch. Two great technical fighters going at it.

Walters is one of my favourites but I gotta be fair. This isn't "ducking". It only would be ducking if Walters would still make 126 but now they are in two different weight classes. And Lomachenko already on his second fight and after that immediately on the third proved that he doesn't afraid of challenges. He only has 5 fights and two of them was against almost elite competition. I don't say that give him the pass to cherry pick his next 3-4 opponents because he is a world champion now but give the kid a break... A fighter with 5 fights shouldn't demanded to move up in weigh already.
With that being said: if Walters would somehow manage to come back in 126 and Loma still won't want to fight him then it will be a "ducking".

basically saying, yes we are ducking, so what?

then you'd have a massive reshuffling.

Walters would fight at WW, Lomachenko at JWW, Rios at MW, Canelo at SHW, Floyd stays, Rigo stays, Pac stays, JMM stays, ....it could be fun

Thats why Im saying have it at 128.

Problem solved.

The fight is not possible only if they make the decision that Lomachenko wont fight anyone bigger then himself. And if thats the case, everyone should remove Loma from any p4p consideration.

He did that before, and lost. I doubt he wants to do it again.

I don't think Lomachenko is in any P4P consideration.

We have an E-Thug in our hands. Everybody better watch out. He's taking no prisoners.

Lol @ trying to be tough over the internet.

nah man...wasn't even TRYING to sound tough or anything like that...dude just came outta no where with that cornball sh't

I'm a cool dude but I'll spit the same words in YOUR face...the internet don't change anything about me bro....so miss me with the E-thug sh't....you must be a hoe ass dude if you THINK what I said was thuggish or tough...just coming at him the SAME way I would in person....nothing fake about me bro...trust me!!

Thats it right there. This is a duck plain and simple.

Whenever fans see their favorite fighter at any disadvantage, they become weight, gloves, socks, business, etc. warriors. Reminds me of Cotto fans: GGG, you make weight fine but move up to 168 please! Lomachenko fans just joined them.

Very disappointing. I thought more of Lomachenko but I guess Salido really is his daddy. He traumatized the poor guy.

not a cotto fan but he was once a 140 guy lol bad reference...loma and walters are in the same class from the start..but if cotto wants to fight ggg i say go for it just like i said if bradley, floyd, or manny wants to fight him...i'm not protection plan fan like these bums we calling out today...anybody sayind this is a duck is a true fan..and this should not be tolerated...p4p list should change bc of these type of actions

[tiliheels]

Ok, refer me to the posts where I'm bashing Haymon and his fighter. PLEASE DO!!!!!! I want to see them myself. I didn't know I was a Haymon hater haha.

I agree. I like Walters more than Loma but Walters screwed himself by not making weight. Why is it that other fighters get ripped apart for being so unprofessional but Nick gets a pass and people call this "ducking". Fans only have Walters to blame.
