Walters Quit Because He Didn't Get Paid Enough

[BroughtonRulesRefuge]

It's like Jesus Chavez quitting against Mayweather.. No reason to pull him out except that he was taking more punishment than he wanted to.. Chavez certainly wasn't swollen for busted up -- and neither was Walters..

- Kally, it goes like this: you the idiot savant who can name every tree in the forest but can't see the forest but for all those trees bashing your noggin with every breeze.

In this case, you've been exposed 100% wrong, and to think you claim to be this trainer of record who supposedly has respect for honorable fighters...NOT! The crooked Ronnie Shields was hired for this single fight at the behest of Arum and it was HE who stopped the fight without even asking Chavez or his real trainer, Richard Lord who was still in his corner. Lord is a former boxer and Jesus' lifetime trainer and jumped in to light into Ronnieboy with a stream of abuse like he ain't never seen, sending him reeling for security for protection. Lederman and Foreman had Chavez ahead because TUE was running like Bambi on fire from a midget. He hadn't put a dent in Jesus until that 9th round when he found a hard combo that cause Jesus to blink. Jesus tore right back into him and had both his eyes cut, a very winnable fight but for the stink factor in boxing. It was going like the tragic Leavander Johnson fight Chavez later fought that affected Jesus deeply.

TUE had a lot of suspect stoppages like the Augustus fight and even his first title against Genero Hernandez who was easily holding his own.

I was out of my chair screaming with Lord when it happened, like watching a crooked DKing fight all over again. Manny was on the undercard and also robbed with a draw against a billy goat whose sole offense was butting Manny coming in. Got only one point deduction and the fight went to cards after 6 and three blind mice declared it technical draw. That card stunk as bad as Ward/Kov-Perez/Hooker. Boxing will never change any more than you can change. I wouldn't bother correcting you if Jesus wasn't one of the great blood and guts fighters of his era and deserves better than you running him in the ground.

Walters quit, he was clearly done, better that than another tragedy. Great, tough win for Loma, time to move on.

Anyone reckon we'll get a big world title fight without any post-fight controversy before the year is out?

Everyone has their own opinions when it comes to controversial things like this; some say it was fixed, some say that he's a coward and it brings shame on the sport.

There was talk of discontent before the fight was signed regarding the purse share Walters was due to get paid.

Lomachenko tweeted at Walters that he'd give him an extra $300k out of his own purse if Walters won.

After completing half the fight and not winning a single round, it seems apparent that quitting was the result of him not getting paid enough for the beating he was taking - knowing that the money incentive of winning the fight was no longer within his grasp.

I don't disagree completely with you. I think that the lack of pay had a say in Walter's attitude heading into this fight and i think that it was easier for him to quit, which still surprises me. I personally think that they should have held back his pay for this fight. He did not give the effort to warrant being paid for this mess. I think it had 99% to do about him being embarrassed inside the ring. Walters wasn't prepared well physically or mentally for this battle and that was very obvious. He looked very slow and I'm not even talking physically.
