    Golovkin is always horrible betting odds. I wanted to bet on him in the Geale match but a $100 bet netted $3.

    LOL

    Actually I've never heard of Nicolas Walters so I don't really know how good he is, but people are saying that this is going to be a real test for Donaire.

    The general consensus is that this is a changing of the guard fight.

    I'm not so sure, mainly because from what I've seen on youtube Walters is a stationary target, far different than Guillermo Rigondeaux. Donaire has lightning in his hands, whereas Walters looks like a counter-puncher. I doubt Walters can beat Donaire.

    Now I wanted to see Walters vs. Rigondeaux. Bob Arum has to make this fight happen sooner than later. Maybe for next year in the Spring season of 2015.

    Donaire went 120% into a left hook, off balance and then walters caught him over the top, brutal finish.

    Well, that's about right. Donaire is all offense and he got caught with a brutal counter-punch, which the only way I saw walters winning.

    GGG can not be stopped.

    Does anyone want to pay $60 to watch him end a fight in less than 5 mins?

    If he goes up to supermiddleweight, or fights Cotto/Canelo winner, you can take that to the bank.

    bit like magarito in that regard, very big for the division. Donaire should either retire or move back down. He was just in there with a bigger stronger fighter, got overpowered.

    Rigo left Top Rank so that's not going to happen any time soon. Stupid move by Rigo. He can't even get a decent fight now because nobody wants to work with his promoter (Caribe). He was on the verge of getting a contract to be co-promoted by either ROC Nation or Frank Warren but his team turned it down and ROC Nation and Warren grew tied of Caribe's BS.

    His next fight, against Chris Avalos, went to purse bid and nobody bid on the fight except Rigo's promoter. Avalos ended up pulling out of the fight. Hell, even Al Haymon doesn't want to work with Caribe. Rigo and his team blamed Arum for everything, even though Arum got him the biggest fight that could be made with Donaire and afterwards, a headlining HBO card after HBO didn't want to show him. Rigo should really be blaming his own promoter for holding his career back.

    Lomanchenko could be up next for Walters


    Umm yeah. People say that like it's a bad thing but isn't that what you want to see? Somebody getting KTFO? I'd pay to go see GGG live in person
