Lujan already has 24 knockout victories in his professional boxing career. On the other hand, Mark ‘Mighty’ Melligen fought 24 of his total fights of which he has won 21 bouts against the world’s best boxers with 14 knockout victories and three losses in
his professional boxing career.
The number sixth WBC world champion, Sebastian Lujan won his 12th consecutive fight against Mark Jason Melligen. Mark ‘MJM Grand’ Melligen faced the third professional loss of his career after winning five consecutive fights.
WBA world champion, Lujan turned professional winning a second round knockout decision against Luis Antonio Ojeda at the Club Sportivo Municipal in Argentina in 2001.
Sebastian ‘Pimienta’ Lujan claimed his first championship bout winning seventh round knockout decision against Carlos Adan Jerez at the Estadio Republic de Venezuela in Argentina in 2003. After a couple of successful defences, Sebastian ‘Iron’ Lujan won
the WBO Intercontinental Welterweight title against Paolo Roberto at the Baltic Hall in Mariehamn, Finland in 2003.
Lujan should try to keep this winning momentum going for the rest of his challenges. Hopefully, his next fight will be more interesting and entertaining one to watch.
