Walsh the next world champion!
Walsh is a very good technical boxer but in this weight division there are some opponents probably too strong for him: Francisco Vargas, Jose Pedraza, Lomachenko, Nicholas Walters, Salido or Takashi Uchiyama
Walsh is a complete fighter and he might stick in the top 10 of the division for a while.. But this fight was quite boring for a 3-stars rating in my opinion. I felt like Walsh could’ve have ended this fight with a KO if he played it a little less safe.. Klimov showed he had no power, so he was not a threat.
