Walters is a decent fighter, that made the win more impressive. For me, Lomachenko is at a different level in his weight class. Bit like David Silva rules all midfielder's if that makes sence ;)

A night of strange endings with the Rigo fight before hand and the Kovalev v Ward fight too always rate Ward and he was just starting to hurt Kovalev as the rounds went on. The work to the body was the key in Wards win. Another rematch might not happen for a while. I think Ward v Stephenson will happen next or as Ward said he might go up in weight again that would be great to see if he does.
As for Lomachenko and who he is going to fight. A catch weight fight with Rigo would be a great fight to see. Rigo was asked about the fight and he said he will fight whoever he doesnt care. Being honest both fighters need each other. Rigo should be a pound for pound great but fighters avoid him. Lomachenko is still young but a win over Rigo would be by far Lomachenkos biggest win.
Would love to see a couple of fights for Lomachenko a rematch with Gary Russell Jnr would be a good fight. Dont see Santa Cruz ever fighting him and as for Lee Selby he doesnt have the profile yet. So out of the champions he could fight the more harder fight is a Rigo fight at a catch weight and i hate those type of fights normally. But for this fight i would gladly take it.

Mayweather is going to mess Connor up and expose the MMA Charlatan for what the sport truly is. Just a hipsters fad.
Boxing has lasted the test of time for a reason, real hard men.
In a few years nobody will talk about this Connor dude. He'll be shagging some girls of Geordie Shore or TOWIE.

People still talk about the father of modern mixed martial arts - Bruce Lee, and the early pioneers - the Gracie family. The UFC formed in 1993 so it's hardly a fad.Mayweather is going to mess Connor up and expose the MMA Charlatan for what the sport truly is. Just a hipsters fad.

You do realise what he is earning in this fight??? He won't be dancing around any snide mulberry bags at tiger tiger any time soon...
As Mac points out, it's hardly a fad, can't stand it myself, I'm a purist, however, it's helped bring boxing back to the glamour of showmanship, and rightly deserves its cut of the cake...
I don't think the fight should be licensed though, mayweather could genuinely hurt him...

They should do a rematch in the octagon. Mcgreggor would make shite of Mayweather in there, the same way Money will make shite of Mcgreggor in the ring. It's a load of nonsense tbh.
welcome to WWE
its a joke of a fight and nothing more than a money fight it will be cut up before the bell rings like who does what. and what round. make it look good for tv and we get another bite of the cherry next year pay for view at his best just wait for the crap talking to start to sell the fight and the £20 it will cost to watch
they are only winners in this many people behind both fighters will get a good pay day and the take home for both fighters will look nice sat in the bank and like a said you just know something will happen and the rematch called for and one or the other will not be happy about the result but they know the score and it will be good for the tv
in the words of the rock (if you smell what the rock is cooking )

I think you are all being a bit cynical. Mgregor is bigger, younger (14 years!) and a real animal. Not a certainty this.

I think this is a fight to capture the masses rather than the hardcore(there's more money in the masses that's just the way it is) they are both cashing in on their popularity.
Wasn't there a South African boxer who's sparred with McGregor and said he was easy for him to to hit "and I aint no Foyld"?
McGregor can punch obviously so a punchers chance but we've seen how punchers fare against Floyd and they are probably more varied in their punches having focused on one form of attack, I think he's going to look strong but limited in a boxing ring.
It would be the same if Floyd tried to do MMA, he'd be going for punches when McGregor would be at a huge advantage thinking about so much more i.e in their own domain they have far more in their arsenal than the other.

It'll all be choreographed like WWE, if it wasn't then it would be so one sided they'd never get to fleece the public for the 2nd time for the rematch

He's not a professional boxer though. It's like expecting Jimi Hendrix to be able to play violin in the Vienna Philharmonic or a baseball player trying to bat for the West Indies.
It's stupid as fuck but I really want to watch it, on a free stream.

That's what the Haye vs Bellew felt like to me, I know some may not agree but it really wouldn't surprised me if Haye really really needed the money and Hearn and co planned it all.It'll all be choreographed like WWE, if it wasn't then it would be so one sided they'd never get to fleece the public for the 2nd time for the rematch

I look forward to seeing the Pacquiao fight this weekend. One of the greatest fighters of all time. Hope he can KO Horn at some point.

I like this. Don't see why boxers should stop at a certain age. Good to see two old buggers at it.
