Light-weight prospect Abdullah Mason will face the knockout artist Yohan Vasquez (26-5, 21 KOs) in an eight-round battle on November eighth on the undercard of Keyshawn Davis vs. Gustavo Lemos in an ESPN card on the Scope Enviornment in Norfolk, Virginia.
A Step Up for Mason
In keeping with @keepit100boxin2, Mason (15-0, 13 KOs) will tackle the 30-year-old Vasquez, who has misplaced three out of his final 4 fights. It’s a step up, however not important for the 20-year-old Mason from his final two fights in opposition to Mike Ohan Jr. and Luis Lebron.
Vasquez could have a tough time profitable this battle except he can land an enormous shot early within the battle earlier than the 5’9″ southpaw Mason has had sufficient time to begin taking him aside. Mason will get hit, however he hasn’t met up with somebody with the chin to remain within the battle lengthy sufficient for them to check him.
The best way Mason is combating proper now, he must be dealing with Keyshawn (11-0, 7 KOs) in the principle occasion. High Rank will maintain Keyshawn and Mason aside to make sure they’ve two income streams. Keyshawn has appeared too shaky for High Rank to threat placing him in with Mason and watching him get decimated.
High Rank has received to know that Mason is the higher expertise than the 2020 Olympic silver medalist, but it surely appears to be like like they’re making an attempt to do one of the best they will with the struggling Virginia native. He’s appeared hellish these days, and his final battle in opposition to Miguel Madueno didn’t resemble a boxing match. It was pure WWE junk from Keyshawn. I used to be ready for Keyshawn to make use of a suplex slam on Madueno, and he was in pure wrestling mode all the battle.
Mason’s Rising Stardom
Mason stole the present once more from Keyshawn and the headliner conflict between Shakur Stevenson and Artem Harutyunyan. These two have been standing round in awe, watching Mason.
Mason anticipated to step it as much as 10-round fights after this, but it surely received’t make a distinction. He’s knocking everybody out and has scored 5 consecutive stoppages. The final man to go the gap in opposition to Mason was Cesar Villaraga final yr in August in a six-round loss.
Mason knocked out Mike Ohan Jr. within the second spherical on August seventeenth in a whole mismatch, stealing the present from the headliner between tremendous middleweights Christian Mbilli and Sergiy Derevyanchenko on the Videotron in Quebec Metropolis, Quebec, Canada.
