Not a whole lot of pop and shots. defensive prow defense turn that's the way it's supposed to be like that. What a nice left uppercut counter. >> Well, sometimes you're cold too, Tim.

Nice defensive responsibility with that left, keeping it right. >> We talked about early on that was a vicious shot to the body, but but you're starting to see the confidence build right now in Ron because he's still here. >> In his mind, he didn't I didn't think he probably didn't expect to still be here standing, but now he's coming back with his own offense. Here you see another right hand from Ron. Has to take two left hooks, >> but it's turning into an exciting fight for the fans. >> Ronald Ron of Venezuelan refugee came to the country in 2023 to fulfill his dream plus against Uber prospect Abdullah Mason.

And will he respond in kind here against Ronald Rod who continues to get fumbled, worked back towards the corner and the punishment continues until Lawrence Cole says, >> but here's the finish right here. He just stepped on the gas. That was it. He knew he had his man hurt from the previous round to the body. He knew that was a weakness. Once he found the key to finish this fight, he just went right to it. He said, "You know what? I've had enough. I'm tired of going patty cake, patty cake with you. I'm stepping to you. I'mma take you I'm gonna take you out and I'm gonna destroy you just like that. >> I'm gonna make the referee come in and stop this action. But man, but but still look at the control that he has. He's not being reckless with it. He's placing his shots like a real pro. A real season pro. That's how he's doing it. Not just throwing punches. He's setting these shots up. Look at that. Boom. One at a time. Boom. Boom. >> Boom. Just beautiful work right there by the young phenom. >> Downstairs, upstairs. >> All right. Abdullah Mason gets his 13th professional win. Each one more impressive. >> On July 6th, 2024 at the Credential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Abdullah moved on to face Luis Popey Lebron. Luis was looked at as a highly experienced veteran who had never been stopped in his professional career. Mason stated publicly that he hoped to be the first to officially knock him out and he stoked the fire by posting videos of street fight knockouts claiming that this was what he was going to do to LeBron. This time around, LeBron was framed as Mason's most decorated opponent to date and this was seen as a test to see if Mason could handle lasting into the later rounds. The fight never made it to later rounds. >> Yeah, I doubt that. You know, when you're in there with a superior counter puncher with speed, you going to take your time. anytime or any mistake you make, he's going to make you because Abdullah has never been past six rounds. >> Redwalk came down to purple rain and he's got the purple trunks, the full purple kit with a dazzle. Look at I mean, look at these kicks and things will heat up midway if he can deal with the punching power and the accuracy. Going to see he's going to find a way to touch that chin. Again, you don't know how good a fighter is until he gets here. >> When you're somebody like Abdullah Mason, as you see the pressure from LeBron as he had a f against the rope critical, when you have such a prized blue chip guy like Abdullah Mason, a guy that every everybody in the boxing biz says is an absolute can't miss. But who six rounders to eight rounders, the opponents serve? Who can pressure you? Who can hit you? Very important. >> It is a very important thing. I mean, you have Abdullah that's coming in this this matchup with three his entire career on a huge stage. So, you wonder how he's going to be able to deal with the pressure that comes with this as well. And he still has to perform and look flawless doing it. Test >> slowly, methodically just coming forward, >> left uppercut, then backs up with the right hand. >> He's just defense, defense, defense right now. >> Oh, look at that. is able to slip and go to the body with the left hand was Mason. >> Yeah, LeBron knows that he's outguned. He knows that the speed differential. So, he's going to have to depend on timing. >> Same strikes. They don't have the same strikes. This young man right here, he knows what he's doing >> around that ring. >> For Mason against LeBron, you saw Dar may have heard. There's the combination. There's the hand speed as well. You heard from his trainer. He said, "Take your time and keep it simple." That was the message to Abdullah Mason. I want to ask you about the relationship with founding his boys and his sons martial arts as well as boxing. It's a welltraveled family as well. They're originally religious family. But that is a cohesive unit that leads to success. Respect. Father's the teacher. Upper discipline. Discipline test. Self-belief. All right. all the things that the father has instilled in this young man and the skills. The skills as you as you see him working those combinations and >> Oh, good body shot, Timmy. >> There was an uppercut about 20 seconds. >> This is not what you're watching right now is not a normal 20-year-old. I promise you that. >> Look how calm he is. >> I was just about to say, did you just see how comfortable he was inside? >> He's respecting the young man. He's putting combinations together. You heard him with that shot. OH, BADLY. ROUND NUMBER two and the young sensation of double Mason has LeBron in show. >> Mason puts him down again. Right. Hooks did it this time. Just an onslaught of offense. >> And LeBron's going to get some more pain in round three. You just >> getting into range. Nice short uppercut right there, but then comes around that guard. You understand that when you have the high guard, there's space around that guard. He hit him right on the earlo. >> Second knockdown. Here's the second knockdown. >> Second knockdown. >> Same spot over and over and over again. You can see LeBron right there. >> Round number three. >> Look at the speed, the accuracy, the quickness. >> His father to be this good this young. >> Yeah, but he's patient, but he's assertive. >> Yes. >> That's the difference. He doesn't mind going to the action. >> He doesn't mind being close test. He doesn't mind taking risks. That's what makes him so fun. >> Action again. Left uppercut. It started with >> stab jab from out posting. Looking for range possibly for that left hand. >> LeBron trying to fire back. Trying to scream from the nose. >> Body attack from Aldova. going. >> Oh, what a shot. Then it goes to the body. >> The hand speed, the total package. >> Upstairs, downstairs. LEBRON'S HURT AGAIN. BACKING UP INTO THAT CORNER. They're going to throw him in the towel. >> HIS CORNER HAS SEEN ENOUGH. AND we want to see more of the double. Mason tweets about him saying he's the complete future. Here's how it all started. Timmy, >> just beautiful work. Nice little up jab right there from Mason. Combinations on the inside. He's going to get to it right here. Those combinations, I haven't seen fast, accurate combinations like that since Roy Jones Jr. >> understanding that he had his man hurt. >> MASON. >> Abdullah Mason moved on to face Mike Badman Ohan Jr. on August 17th, 2024 at the Center Videotron in Quebec City, Canada. Leading up to the fight, Mason and Ohan ended up sharing a van to the weigh-in together, and they took the chance to show that they were respecting each other, even though they were opponents. Originally, Mike was supposed to fight Harry Gigliotti, but Ohan ended up taking the opportunity to fight Abdullah Mason instead on 3 weeks notice. Mason's power and finishing instincts were marketed as making him the next young Mike Tyson. On top of that, this was marketed as Mason's big international debut and it was his first pro fight outside of the states. >> My good. Look at that midsection. And you you see that you might recognize because his father, he was a professional fighter. 14 six and two as Marvin Haggler's main sparring partner. >> Exactly. >> On getting him in trouble. Oh, that body shot right there. >> Finds the opening and he takes advantage of it. Nice. And that's why it's such a good test for Abdullah Mason. And what I like from Ohan right now is he's getting low. >> He's level changing right now, keeping his a lower center of gravity, getting underneath a lot of the shots that Mason is throwing besides the body shots. >> Nice uppercut there from Abdullah Mason. And oh is trying to land what Oan is doing, seeing that he's getting low, >> landing that right hook that sets up the left. And what's special about that is is how short crisp sitting down on those shots. Those are not peppering type of punches. >> Oh, like that one. That uppercut that >> the eyes. >> You want to get low? Well, guess what? I'mma lift you up >> like that. >> Good uppercut again. Effective with this uppercut >> because he knew it was going to be there because guess what? He does the best thing. You study film. If you watch film, you see tendencies. That's what you see. Beautiful shot right there. Nice block. >> Take. That's important. >> No, this is what I was talking about. What a straight left hand. >> And that one puts And now we see that the fight has been called by Mark Duca in the blue corner >> off the jab. Blinding flick jabs right there. Those are just decoys. What he really wanted that straight left hand down the middle. Flick jabs. Oh, go ahead. That's the shot that I wanted right there. >> His job is to protect his fighter and he did exactly that at the end of that last round. There was >> Abdullah Mason. 3 minutes and 40 seconds into >> Next, Abdullah Mason took on Johan Vasquez on November 8th, 2024 at the Scope Arena in Norfol, Virginia. Before heading into the fight, Abdullah took the chance to call out his new rival, Ameliano Vargas, and he hoped for a future match after taking on Vasquez. While Mason was considered to be untouchable, this fight would show that this was not true. >> Yeah. Yeah, I think I just went I sat down with my barber and I said, "Land his shot." >> Oh, and he's from straight down the middle, >> left either straight left or the left uppercut. You see Vasquez leaning forward. >> Beast is coming after Abdullah Mason down for the first time in his professional career. Abdullah's human. Oh, and he gets rocked by a right hand. Oh. Oh, what a shot by Abdul Messi. He lands on Yolasquez. Are you not entertained? Round one, a minute and 15 seconds and Abdullah's going for the finish. >> Vak looking to survive. Mason is at HIS BEST. WHAT A JAB FROM ABDULLAH. LEFT UPPERCUT FROM ABDULLAH. Oh no, down for the second time with a check left hook. >> This is what we've been waiting on right here. We've been waiting on Want to see what Abdullah has in on him. Been down a couple of times right now. His eyes is still dangerous. He's still got to be cautious because he had that. >> He got a little over anxious against a veteran and he made him pay. But here's Abdullah once again going in was impressive. >> Handle it well right here in the inside closing the distance. Oh my god. He had he was holding the phone but that short definitely holding the phone but again it snuck in there that shot but then that uppercut chin Lance for Vasquez putting Abdullah Mason on that count >> and Abdullah Mason got a little bit over anxious. You're getting a little bit too close to a very dangerous Lafa Johan, >> especially when you're throwing your offense straight left >> and he's making him dance. But this is where Vasquez has been the most dangerous. >> But again, I love his toughness because again, he went down twice. How conditioned he is, where his mindset is, and he's still in there trying to go for the guillot holding and punching. And Ailla says, "You hold me, you better hold me tight because I'm going to go to the body and drop you with the shot to the solar plexes." This fight came to an end and it was a body shot from Abdullah Mason instead of placing the shot upstairs. We knew he was hurting him with that right center. That shot right there, that would have been down. Yep. Lucky the ref taking a point from him. But on the inside, vicious short shots on the inside from him. just got in tight close right in the solar plex right there right down the middle a place left hand the first round of the fight was dubbed as the round of the year as it featured three knockdowns in just 3 minutes >> from Abdullah Mason left uppercut from Abdullah >> Mason ended up settling into a rhythm in the second round and found a way to bounce back and put an end to Vasquez >> Mason on February 14th 2025 at the theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Abdullah fought Manuel himus. After seeing how Mason could be dropped in his last fight against Vasquez, many people were concerned if Jaimes could find the weakness and exploit his vulnerabilities. >> You see Vasquez leaning forward >> was viewed as a significant test for Mason and he had proven himself recently by going the full distance against former world champion Rolando Raleigh Romero. on the inside or at least set it up with jabs. Every day he'd do it again. >> He also revealed that he had been offered this fight with Mason much earlier in their careers and he was happy to finally accept it. >> He can land any big shots over the top when he least expected. Sometimes you need a lesson like that to slow you down because he was getting a little bit too quick early on in his fights. >> Start a fast starter by nature. He's a fast starter by nature and what that means considered a fast starter >> and that's Abdullah Mason >> before he actually uh works. That was a little lunge there from Abdullah Mason who has a 5 in reach advantage. Good faints trying to freeze high miss takes a step forward makes him pay. >> Yeah, that was a nice forward shift right there just changing his position right bringing that back foot forward and then you saw the combinations. High miss is no slouch. This is this is a tough fight coming back especially after two knockdowns. It's not an easy fight whatsoever. IM brings its own share of problems. Coming off of a loss by 10 round unanimous decision against Roly Romero on the undercard of Canelo Langley says I kind of froze in the moment but that taught me that I can be on the big stage because I took his best shot. So, if he can take Romero's best shots, it's really going to be a testament to the power of Abdullah if he's able to get him out tonight. >> Yeah, different style. However, yes. Romero can punch, >> but I don't think he's a sharp puncher. More of a thing puncher, but not a sharp puncher liked Mason. Look, Dam Mason just missed the uppercut not too long ago. Was about 15 seconds ago. That's the shot he's looking for. He's going to look behind me. He's going to lunge forward with his assault and he's going to look to lift him up with that uppercut. When if it lands and it lands on that chin, just watch the reaction of Miami. He will look for the right hook. He saw that lead hand reach to parry the jab. >> Oh, there's a nice one, too. >> And that was fast and strong again. That uppercut again. He's just off the mark with it right now. But you saw them that you know ADO, >> you seen his eyes, he's completely focused, dialed in. That jab is something else of him. There. There it is. >> And it sets that shot up. >> I told you. Give him the reach. There it is. I told you. Watch the reaction. >> Yeah, it was off the jab. Nice stiff jab. He looked to counter after. Walked right into it. I mean, you talk about setting someone up, Tim. That was a perfect setup from Abdullah Mason. And now there's that stick. Once again, that shot is so devastating. you mentioned earlier tonight. Yeah. What type of jab is it? Well, this is a punishing jab. >> It is a punishing jab. It freezes your opposition. It's not It's not one of those jabs that's just like a range fighter. No, it's not a feather duster. It's a It's a jab that is very authoritative. I want you to feel this jab. I want to keep you still for just a split second. Then I want to hit you with that power shot. A piston jab. >> And that sets up those body shots from Abdullah. Sneaky body. So, we just got done talking about Tank Davis and >> Oh, that's a nice body shot. That was a left hook to the liver. Again, you want to see the similarity. You want to know the similarities? Who other than Abdullah Mason and Tank throws uppercuts like that? >> Tank does it at close range. Abdullah does it from middle range and out. Tank can lead with it and he can do it off the back foot as well. He can run you into with it >> just like he did with uo along the ropes. Mhm. Set him up for it. And he has a he has a lead left uppercut, too. >> Oh, Santa Cruz threw that the same shot three times and you just cannot be repetitive against one that has seen him go down already. >> Well, you don't have the you don't have the answers. You don't have the attributes. You need speed. You need quickness. You need timing. You know, he needs to start fainting right now. Changing his entry point. You know, he used a little lateral movement right there. He got inside. Now he needs to work. And that's exactly what he needs to do. Make him uncomfortable. close that distance cuz he's out at range. He's dead meat. Dead meat out at range. >> That's another straight left from Abdullah Mason. Sets up that jab. >> That's what he needs to do. That was the punch that Abdullah got caught with in his last fight. He needs to try to use that shot again and see if he learned anything from that last fight. Use the left hook. I think his patience and poise is a lot better here. Yes, it is a two round. >> Nice stiff jab right here. You see him getting calculating his distance. Bow. Go ahead. He rushed and he leaped in with that right hand. You can't lunge against a sharp shooter like Abdullah Mason. If you lunge, he going to make you pay. He steps back, gets a little bit distance, catch him as he's coming in. hits a right on the money with a shot he didn't see coming. He didn't expect that shot. Those shots that come underneath, you don't see them coming. They like sharks. That to me is one of the biggest attributes in Abdullah Mason's game is the way he uses his eyes. It's the focus. It's the focus and the level of com concentration. You know what the opponent going to do before he even does it. Just in at that knockdown when he shot that jab, he knew he was going to lunge. He's just waiting on >> body shots. >> Good defense after. You see him got underneath that left foot left uppercut again and he follows it with the right. >> Look at the speed and the power behind that. I'm telling you, man, this kid is lightning quick. and the courage of him to get back up once again. His mechanics and he does it over and over. He's mastered it with the speed and the power. Everything at 100 miles an hour he's throwing. It's like throwing a fast ball every time he lets his hands go. >> The thing is, Tim, we always talk about young fighters and the importance of punch variety. You don't know what he's going to hit you with. Is he going to hit you with the jab? Is it going to be the uppercut? is going to be a hook and any of them can put you down like that stiff jab. You have again mastering your technique. That's what it's all about. You got to master your technique. Okay. Good technical fundamentals, great balance. You see feet are planted. That's all a part of it. You know, it kind of remind you of Inaway. Inway, that's the reason why Inaway is so effective with his shots. You know, his balance is always on point. the speed behind his punches and again doing it over and over and over and over again. We haven't got to the 10th round yet. >> Yeah, for this young man. So, I'm wondering if he can maintain that all the way through. He can hurt you in any round, but I know he trains that way. >> Great jab. >> See, Jame right now like he don't know what to do. Seriously. And and and that's an eerie feeling when you in there and you just like, "Yo, I'm ready for this fight." You had the toughest training camp and you didn't think he was that fast and that accurate and that strong or punched that hard. So discouraging. >> And look, he's in the inside. He's trying to let his hands go. >> Is tough, man. >> Oh yeah, he's definitely tough. I mean, you get hit by Roly Romero and Roelly can th Yeah, he definitely does. >> But it's just different with Abdullah. That was a nice right hand there from High. >> See, you got those sharp punches. >> Yes. It's like the lights flicker and you know your legs go. >> Feel like you don't have legs when you get hit with shots like that. Like your legs get chopped up. Here he is on the inside right here. Abdullah Mason. There you go. He ducks that hook right there. Holds the phone. Gets clipped with a small little shot right there. But boom. You see the combinations right there. The first shot definitely did most of the damage right there. But then the followup, boom, right on the chin. My gosh. Short and compact shots. See, and the way he can tell, he understands. And he had a nice little body shot right there to penetrate, right? But the way he when he hits you with a shot, right, and he sees your reaction, that killer instinct kicks in. That's hard to teach. He has that already. He's 20 years old and he has that already. >> He's been having it since he was eight. >> Let me tell you something. It was just like when I was watching uh Hold on. The doctors checking in on Manuel here and they're going to let him continue. >> It's like I was watching Nicole watch today. >> This I we didn't call it I didn't call this fight. However, he heard his opposition but didn't even know he heard his opposition several times of double. He sees it >> 54-5 total. But look at that second round 21 one punch landed from Himez in round number two. You see the defensive just right there. Nice right hand from behind. And then that left hook from Abdullah Mason says, "I'm going to let you get one." But the get back's going to be worse. Sharp. And that was off the back foot. >> He was moving back in that shot. Knockd down of the fight. Still blazing fast, quick, accurate, right on the money. How demoral demoralizing is it? You just landed your best shot of the fight and next thing you know, you're down again. And now Abdullah Mason is going for the finish. >> Nice left uppercut again. >> You see a little little bit he's been there throwing him got some dog in there. You know, he's in there. He's in there trying to work. But again, >> you saw how he had to reach there, Tim, because of the height and and the reach of Abdullah Mason and just how quick he is. It's not only that. It's just knowing your distance, you know, that takes time to master and understanding your distance and understanding that, hey, every every time I step back, I push off that front leg and I step back. Oh, goodness. >> Forget about what I'm saying right now. I just want to see this finish right there. It is. >> It has to be the end. Fourth round. Appetite for smoke. The entire Mason family is on their feet. Valley is happy. Abdullah has done it again. >> If you make a mistake, >> comment if you think Abdullah Mason could take on Javant Davis next, and like and subscribe for more. Goodbye.
