I remember when he went back to the corner I thought '2 more rounds then they'll pull him out..
I think Walters did ok in first 4 rounds, he didn't get hit much and landed the occasional shot.
But last 2 rounds Vasyl was landing without being hit. It must be so frustrating, but let's be honest Nicholas Walters bottled it, and blamed his own corner even though he pulled himself out. I'm nit going to call any pro boxer a coward, but he could've tried for another 2 rounds and not lied about the pull out....

Re: Loma Waters
I never watched it and haven't yet. Walters didn't look hurt to me- just outclassed. And why? Because boxing is a test of toughness!Ricky_ wrote:Supremo wrote:If you are getting the cash Walters was on last night then surely you have a duty to go out on your shield.
Why? Did you enjoy watching the last 3 rounds in Gutknecht vs Groves?
Re: Loma Waters
Regarding Walters, this is not the guy who smashed Donaire and Darchinyan.
That guy never turned up again.
What happened to him, lost his discipline? Outgrew the weight?
Good to see Lomachenko continuing to improve. Surely Salido next.

Re: Loma Waters
Absolutely. Walters should have stuck it out, he still had a punchers chance until the end, but then it's easy for me to say that. Lomachenko is something else, his footwork is as good as I've ever seen.MightyWarrior wrote:Embarrassing for Waters, he'll be regretting that now, not even hurt or busted up, just out classed in that last round and it was NO MAS.
But jesus christ, what a fighter Loma is - the best in the world right now ? I would say yes, incredible talent. The super fight out there is now Crawford / Loma - no one else beats these two right now.

Re: Loma Waters
Walters is a very good example of a bully. He will act the hard man and act like he is the second coming of 20 year old Tyson while he beats up overmatched opposition.
He started to get bullied by lomachenko, who was walking him down and landing shots.
In that situation, a bully will always back down and usually run away in a huge show of cowardice. I remember standing up to a bully when I was 10 years old. Same thing happened.
Leagues apart in terms of heart to the likes of a prime Eubank for example.
