''Easily the worst professional fight ive ever seen''
Another fan wrote:
''Draw. Surprising. Expected better. They gotta put him on some smaller shows to get his experience and level up. His amateur career wasn't outstanding. He's got a big following but that doesn't mean he should fight on the big stage instantly. #SerranoMeinke''
Criticizing Walton, one fan wrote:
''Horrible performance from him. He's only 17 so he’ll get better but he had no business being on this stage right now''

Last year, Walton signed with MVP, the boxing promotion company co-founded by Jake Paul and Nakisa Bidarian. MVP is helping him with event marketing, content creation, and brand building.
On August 2, 2023, Walton made his debut in Dallas under the promotion during the open workouts leading up to Paul's fight against Nate Diaz that week.
Walton was thrilled to join Paul's organization, claiming in a statement that "MVP feels like family'':
"I’ve been training so hard and working for the majority of my life for this moment. MVP feels like family and that’s very important to me. I know they can help me reach my goals in professional boxing and do it in a way that feels special to me.”
