I honestly have no idea why he's even in this division. He's hardly a large fighter in the lower divisions. He's miniature in lightweight with a pure reliance on skill and technique. Why he does it is anyone's guess. Challenge and honor must be the reason. He has to know that non Eastern Europeans aren't watching his fights and saying "Man, how brave to fight these much larger men with one arm..." For various ethic and national reasons these people will never will give him the benefit of the doubt. People like the LDBCGBTQ+ are gonna hate the man regardless of his resume or anything else.
He probably will. Unless that kid was by far the fastest guy Loma has ever fought, Loma has lost quite a bit of hand and foot speed.
