Stephen “The Sniper” Loman‘s comeback fight ended in heartbreak on Saturday. The former BRAVE CF Bantamweight World Champion dropped a unanimous decision to Lasha Abramishvili at BRAVE CF 108.

The result snapped Loman’s perfect 6-0 record inside the promotion. It also stalled his push to reclaim the bantamweight title he once held.

Abramishvili weathered an early storm from the heavy-handed Filipino star. Loman came out firing in the opening round at Pula Arena.

The Georgian gradually found his footing as the fight wore on. He began picking his shots with far greater precision.

Over the final two rounds, Abramishvili’s sharper shot selection took over. All three judges scored the bout 30-27 in his favor.

The win is the biggest of Abramishvili’s career to date. It also handed Loman a sour end to his three-year layoff.

Abramishvili’s win puts him firmly in the bantamweight title conversation. He now looms as a threat to current champion Borislav Nikolić.

For Loman, the road back to gold just got steeper. He had called this comeback “the first step” toward reclaiming his old title.

The 29-year-old returned to BRAVE CF after a three-year absence. His last fight was a close loss to John Lineker in 2023.

Whether Loman gets another shot at the belt remains unclear. For now, Saturday’s loss stands as a costly setback in Croatia.
