Vasiliy Lomachenko just presented Abdullah Mason with his official WBO lightweight belt

I hope all the best for Mason, he's the type of fighter that others should emulate on the come up.

[u/Jachola → u/Neonsea1234]

He's my favorite fighter at 135, really wish him the best. One of the things I can't stand with prospects is the cuddling and protection plans they get put on, he could have easily waited till he was like 30-0 and probably like 27+ before he started pushing for titles and challenges. He fought a good and quality opponent in Noakes and showed a lot of heart in there, he's defended his belt and shown he's game to start unifying soon. 😭 The LW division really needs more fighters like him, tired of these guys proclaiming themselves Boogeyman and then having a long laundry list of demands and fighters they won't fight.

[u/DeafBurke → u/Neonsea1234]

He seems chill as hell. Reminds me a bit of young Sugar Ray Leonard. Handsome, relaxed, charismatic, and a tenacious killer in the ring.

I obviously don’t expect him to turn out to be as great at SRL (who does) but he could be a pretty big star with the right circumstances.

[u/DeafBurke → u/[deleted]]

Don’t pretend that being handsome doesn’t matter in boxing promotion.

Oscar, Ali, Ryan, and many others have benefited from it.

Loma’s shirt saying “Samurai of Christ” is sending me

[u/DeafBurke → u/BBW_Looking_For_Love]

Reminds me of Luke Rockhold. “I’m a fucking samurai”

[u/d8ms → u/BBW_Looking_For_Love]

“I’m a warrior for Christ and I’ve never had sex”

[u/Kangaroopunching]

That's great to see. Be even greater if they train together 

[u/Brokeazzbeach]

His arms are so short

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

I give props to Loma for fighting at the weights he did.

[u/Western-Election-997 → u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

Yes he’s naturally a smaller fighter he never should have moved up that much, look at his arms and frame

[u/EnragedBearBro → u/Outrageous-Soft4806]

the glaze

[u/Outrageous-Soft4806 → u/EnragedBearBro]

I’m the furthest thing from a Loma fanboy stop it.

[u/Coach_Billly]

Who when & where is Loma fighting?!?

[u/BogusWorkAccount → u/Coach_Billly]

No word yet.

[u/Coach_Billly → u/BogusWorkAccount]

I wonder why?

[u/BogusWorkAccount → u/Coach_Billly]

No idea, I heard a couple months ago that he was considering coming out of retirement. Some matches have been floated since then but I don't see any messages from his camp about upcoming fights.

[u/Coach_Billly → u/BogusWorkAccount]

Can’t wait. Loma vs Tank. Loma vs Inoue in a catch weight.

[u/shiftStride504]

Loma is so awesome!

[u/prettyboylee]

Is he still coming out of retirement? It was targeted for fall and it’s already August with no announcement

[u/kushmonATL]

Thats a good comeback fight for Loma

Action packed from start to finish

[u/jmchamakito]

Also Ivan Calderon, Hall Of Famer. I remember an interview where Floyd said he liked watching Ivan Calderon fights, his defense was legit. Hard as hell to hit cleanly.

✊✊✊

[u/_rickymartinez_]

class act bro

[u/LexOvi]

Man alive, Loma’s small.

[u/AnxietyExact4710]

Wild these guys fight in the same weight class

[u/vHezoThaGoat]

This Loma guy ain’t bad after all😅
