News Thiago Santos vs Johnny Walker, September 2021.

[GOATtalks]

2-3 years ago Santos would KO him stiff. Walker is still improving, while Santos is on his way out. I would say it’s 70/30 Walker now. 1R KO is the best prediction, doesn’t even matter who you pick to win

 

[Zebra Cheeks]

Huge announcement. I always pick against walker, but I also always pick against guys who get 3 tendons ripped unless they start winning again. What a pickle

 

[Chok Sok Te]

Johnny Walker is recovering from a pectoral injury

Fair play, I wasn’t aware cheers

 

[Danespina]

Wow, perfect matchmaking.

Santos by KO

 

[You Will Vote For Dreyga]

If Walker beats Santos, he’ll likely take Santos’s spot at #4. That doesn’t seem right

If Walker beats Santos, he’ll likely take Santos’s spot at #4. That doesn’t seem right

Why? We'd be closer to Walker vs Jiri.

 

[FIGHTING TALK]

Great match making.
Very much a 50/50 fight however I expect Santos still has just enough left to find Walkers chin and put him on Queer Street.

Incidentally, matching up for late September, wtf, I have never known a match made so far in advance. Anyone?

 

[JKS]

I like Santos here. Walker is not too hard to hit and Santos is pretty precise.

 

[FlyingDeathKick]

3 years ago it would be FOTY candidate before it even happened. Nowadays we might aswell get Lewis vs Ngannou 1.

3 years ago Santos would crack Walker's glass chin within 5 seconds.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Santos is finished but he'll KO Walker early. 1st round.

 

[DS66]

Santos is one of my favourite fighters in the game, but man did he ever look like a fighter with zero confidence in his last fight vs Rakic. The brutal knee injury and subsequent beating by Glover really did a number on his confidence as a fighter I think. Hope he gets that mojo back, but at 37 years old it's probable that his best days are behind him. Either way, Johnny Walker's never had a boring fight so this should be a banger.

 

[Carrotman23]

Oh man Walker has looked incredibly chinny lately even in his last win . Glad Santos can get another win he's lost too many in a row

right on schedule. Not abnormal

 

[Jorge Luis Borges]

This fight has Kongo vs Barry written all over it.

 

[Kryptt]

If we make it there I'm in!

Not sure but um 1st inclination is Walker...

 

[Schoolboy Q]

I got Santos, never bought into the Walker hype.
