Abdullah Mason is ready for his next test, and goes against power veteran Jeremiah Nakathilia in their 10-round lightweight co-fight this Saturday, June 7, in the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
Nakathila’s dangerous power -threatening
Top Rank puts four-year-old Pro Mason (18-0, 16 COs) in a competition Nakathila (26-4, 21 COs) that will show whether he is ready to challenge for a world title. Nakathilia fled Shakur Stevenson when they fought in 2021. He nailed Shakur early with a big shot, which made him climb his bike and was running for the rest of the competition.
Keyhawn Davis confronts Mason
WBO lightweight champion Keyshawn Davis confronted Mason at Thursday’s press conference and dared to stare at him next. It was a step by champion Keyshawn to humiliate 21-year-old Abdullah in front of the fans and the media, and it may have worked.
Mason now looks angry about what happened, and he calls Davis’ bluff and wants to face him next time. It could possibly be a disaster for Keyshawn.
He will look stupid if he does not go through his offer to face Mason. He has already made himself a chicken by saying yesterday that he will not fight a one-game against IBF champion Raymond Muratalla of the IBF pound because he does not want to pay an extra sanction fee. Fans did not buy the excuse, nor did they believe that he had sent an offer to Andy Cruz which he presumably rejected.
“He let his hands go; He has power behind his blows, but I make sure I stay tight in the ring and are looking for his offense. But I’m going to do everything I’ve done, ‘Abdullah Mason said Fighting type About his fight this Saturday against Jeremiah Nakathila in Norfolk, Virginia.
Mason will have to be careful of the power of Nakathilia, as he is a bigger puncher than Yohan Vasquez, the fighter who dropped him twice in the first round last year. Nakathilia could do serious damage if he caught Abdullah with the same shots that Vasquez dropped him.
Abdullah Mason challenges Davis
“I’m willing to take it next,” Mason said of a fight against WBO lightweight champion Keyshawn Davis. “I worked my way to #2. Whoever sits on the title when I work my work works to prepare for the person. Keyshawn is there. He is the one who has the title. He is the one I have ready to fight. ‘
It is doubtful that ‘the businessman’ Keyshawn would take a fight against Mason, as he makes sure he chooses his opponents carefully and ensures that the victory is in the bag early. Davis focuses on fighters who are well known and have an established fan behind them.
He wants Theofimo Lopez or Isaac ‘Pitbull’ Cruz. However, the top rank cannot deliver any of the fighters because it would be too expensive. Keyshawn still does not want to fight against Abdullah because it is too high work, low reward for him.
Again, he treats his career like a business and focuses on safe choices. The money Davis would get would get theofimo would be worth the risk. He wouldn’t get the kind of dough that Mason is fighting, and there’s a good chance he’ll lose.
Davis’s jealousy flames at the press
“I expected him to say something, but I could read his energy,” Abdullah said he had the feeling Negative vibes Of Davis last Thursday at the final press conference. “I could see that something was off, and he would say something. I knew when I saw him that his energy was off. I couldn’t read his thoughts, but I could definitely read his energy. ‘
It is clear that Keyshawn was threatened by Abdullah’s presence on stage with him. Mason received too much praise from moderator, Christina Poncher, and it was supposed to be his performance. After Mason gave the treatment of red carpet and performed him even before their fights on Saturday, it was too much for Keyshawn to take. He lost control and placed it in a position where he was the second fiddle.
There is a good chance that Mason will steal on Saturday with his actions against Nakathilia. His fighting is more entertaining than Keyshawn’s because of his one -time power and the way his competitions suddenly end through knocking out.
Mason claims Keyshawn title shot
“I’m in the row next. I’m coming up. I’m a ranking. So, he felt the pressure, and he felt he had to say something. That is why He called me. I am focused on Nakathilia. Keyshawn called me. So, you know there’s pressure. Why not? He should definitely be, and I have to take the offer, ‘Abdullah said, asking him to give an offer to give an offer to give an offer to give an offer to give an offer to give an offer to give an offer, it is necessary to give an offer to give an offer. fight.
Mason is #2 on the WBO’s ranking on lightweight, behind #1 Sam Noakes. However, this does not mean that Keyshawn will stay around at 135 and fight against him. He talks about moving to 140, and it is doubtful that he will deliberately choose Abdullah for a voluntary defense before leaving the division. Keyshawn is calculated to fight him.
‘Whatever works. I’m just ready to walk in there with anyone who has the championship belt, ‘Mason said when asked if he would be willing to fight Keyshawn in his hometown Norfolk. “So, he is the one who holds the belt at the time. So, whatever needs to be worked out, it will be worked out for me to step in and seize the title. ‘
If Davis evacuates his WBO title, Mason Noakes will fight for the vacant belt. It would be an almost victory for Abdullah against that man, who is nowhere near the talent he is.
Keyshawn’s bluff faces exposure
“If we walk in there, I’m going to get out with the title. I’m ready for that. Absolutely, it can. Let’s make it happen. Why not? ‘ Mason said when asked if he would fight Keyshawn next or send a contract after their attacks this Saturday.
You can see that Abdullah was bothered by the way Keyshawn tried to ashore him yesterday. When he did, he should have assumed that Mason would place his tail between his legs and run away for good. The opposite happened. It made him angry, and now he is determined to go to Keyshawn next. This puts him in a place where he has to back up his offer to give Mason a title shot, otherwise he will be exposed if he did just for show.
“I work my way to achieve a title. I work for a reason on my way. He is just there in front of me. Nothing personal. It’s all things, ‘Mason said it wasn’t personal between him and Keyshawn.
