Abdullah Mason Set for Quick Return

Abdullah Mason has excelled since turning professional after a standout amateur career. In his last fight, the 20-year-old contender dismantled Jaimes in style. His slick movement and electrifying hand speed left his opponent bewildered. He controlled the action with a sharp jab, setting up vicious combinations, each punch thrown with precision and intent.

Following the win on Feb. 14, Mason said: “I said the same thing {about no longer being called a prospect}. We say the same thing. We want the belts, world championship,” Mason said. “I gotta keep doing what I’m doing and making these guys look the way I’ve been doing since I turned pro.”

Despite only being 20, his ring IQ is exceptional and he looks to improve every fight, which is honestly frightening for the rest of the lightweight division.

For his next fight, the Ohio native will take a noticeable step up in class against the experienced Giovanni Cabrera (22-2, 7 KOs), who is coming off a third-round KO defeat against William Zepeda.
