After the fight, Walsh was pumped. He said nobody can beat the Irish and called Sutherland his toughest test yet. He’s feeling stronger every time he steps in the ring and promised to knock out anyone who challenges him. At 24, Walsh trains with famous coach Freddie Roach in Los Angeles and works with promoter Tom Loeffler. Even UFC boss Dana White is watching him close, thinking about boxing plans.
The super welterweight division is full of tough guys like Vergil Ortiz and Tim Tszyu. Walsh isn’t at their level yet, but he’s getting there fast. This win keeps his buzz growing. He’s young and hungry, and if he keeps smashing opponents like this, he could be chasing a world title soon. Sutherland gave it a shot, but Walsh showed he’s on another level right now.
