WBA’s number 4 Middleweight, Thomas “Cornflake” LaManna (37-5-1 16KOs), has notched up his seventh win in a row. Yep, he’s been stirring up the boxing pot, making himself a tough cookie to crumble in the ring.
Juggling life’s curveballs like a circus performer, “Cornflake” has danced with mental health gremlins, tangoed with depression, and arm-wrestled severe anxiety. Through it all, he’s remained as focused as a cat on a laser pointer. His latest triumph? A knockout show on December 29th, 2023, at Prudential Center in Newark, NJ, where he put Nicolas Hernandez (28-8-3 12KOs) to bed in under seven rounds. Talk about a bedtime story with a punch!
“I’m back in my playground,” he declared, flexing his comeback muscles. “Fought for a World Title before, and guess what? I’ll do it again. I’ve got the mojo.”
Seven wins without a scratch, and “Cornflake” isn’t just king of the Middleweight hill; he’s eyeing bigger fish to fry. 2024 is looking like a buffet of brawls for him. He’s got his gloves set on some big names – Chris Eubank (also known as English Muffin or Pop Tart), Jarrett Hurd, Danny Garcia, and maybe a dance rematch with Erislandy Lara. “I’m sitting pretty at number 4 in the WBA, so bring ’em on,” he quipped to YSM Sports Media.
LaManna and his squad are like diligent elves in Santa’s workshop, cooking up strategies for the upcoming brawls. They’re dreaming of landing those big, shiny fights that’ll have fans around the globe glued to their screens. With his slick moves and never-say-die spirit, LaManna’s become the boxer everyone wants to watch and nobody wants to fight.
And just for the record, LaManna’s not just any boxer – he’s currently the proud owner of the WBA Fedelatin Middleweight Championship belt. So, there you have it!
