Nicholas Walters won’t allow Jason Sosa to do to him what Walters did to Nonito Donaire.

Jamaica’s Walters says he hasn’t overlooked the unknown Sosa and predicted he will win their 10-round, 130-pound fight Saturday night in impressive, fast fashion. Walters (26-0, 21 KOs) will make his full-fledged junior lightweight debut against Sosa (18-1-3, 14 KOs) in a fight HBO will air as the opener of a “Boxing After Dark” telecast set to start at 10:15 p.m. ET/PT from Verona, N.Y.

Walters knocked out Donaire (36-3, 23 KOs), a five-division champion, in the sixth round 14 months ago to emerge from obscurity. Sosa hopes to make his name off of Walters similarly, which Walters has remembered throughout training camp.

“I’m not sure if the fight is going to go past four rounds,” Walters, 29, said. “It depends if Sosa comes to fight. I’m sorry, but Sosa is not going to do to me what I did to Nonito Donaire or Vic Darchinyan.”

Sosa says Walters will be in the ring with “a monster,” a bigger, stronger opponent who can knock him out. The 27-year-old Sosa, of Camden, N.J., figures to out-weigh Walters by a significant amount of weight once they enter the ring at Turning Stone Resort Casino.

Walters contends Sosa doesn’t know what he has gotten himself into.

“When you don’t know much about a fighter, that’s dangerous,” Walters said. “Sosa will find out. Nonito didn’t know much about me until I knocked him out.”
