After Nicolas “The Axe” Walters quit after the 7th round against Vasyl “Hi-Tech” Lomachenko, he too attempted to avoid blaming himself. Inexplicably, he blamed his failure on promoters and HBO. According to him, they didn’t get him into the ring often enough in preparation for this big fight against his toughest opponent. As a result, “The Axe” was not sharp. As far as quitting goes, he more or less said that he was getting tagged hard, and it would have been foolish for him to continue taking punishment. Was he injured? No. Was he hurt? No. It was the fear of what might happen that made him quit. The possibility of that happening was too much for him. So, “no mas.” was his way out.
Now it would seem Nicolas Walters, the former undefeated warrior, is no mas. His “0” is gone, and fans have been left in shock. HBO is scrambling to pick up the pieces. Their hopes for a FOTY turned into a mess of mistrust. Their hopes were dashed by a quitter who refused to except the blame. Instead, he pointed the finger of responsibility right back at them. He had the audacity to scold Max, saying something like, “My poor showing is your fault because you didn’t get me into the ring often enough”. In other words he blames his ring rust on them. From this point on HBO might be looking upon him as a Jonah, a bringer of bad luck. It’s two weeks in a row now for the bedeviled HBO. You can bet they don’t want the bad luck to persist.
