Abdullah Mason will fight against ESPN on the bottom map on ESPN on ESPN on ESPN as Keyshawn Davis against Edwin de Los Santos on June 7 in the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia.
It would have been an excellent choice for Mason to fight seven years ago when Nakathilia knocked everyone like bell and was in his 20s. But he is now 35, a few knockouts of the second round to Raymond Muratalla and Ernesto Mercado. He also lost a running unanimous decision of 12 round to Shakur Stevenson by the scores 120-108 x 3. Nakathilia was selected to ensure that Mason was not repeatedly beaten or dropped.
A step down?
Earlier today, Floyd Schofield Sr. said they hosted the fight against Mason (18-0, 16 COs). He accepted the battle but wanted $ 2.5 million For his son, Schofield Jr. This explains why 35-year-old Nakathila (24-4, 21 COs) was selected. It is a pity that the top rank could not negotiate the battle for Mason against Schofield. It would be a good enough game to kick off the Keyhawn Davis against Edwin de Los Santos from the main event.
Keith Idec broke the news of top-promoted Abdullah Mason who fights against veteran Jeremiah Nakathilia on the Keyshawn-De Los Santos card.
Fans on social media are not too satisfied with the choice of Nakathilia for Abdullah, and see it as a duck work to avoid the more dangerous unbeaten Floyd Schofield (18-0, 12 COs). It’s hard to get excited to see it as an option for Mason.
If your box follows and see how Muratalla and Mercado Nakathilia blew out the water in 2023, it looks just like a well -braided opponent to ensure Abdullah wins. It looks good in the eyes of casual fans who are unaware that it is a cherry choice.
It’s good for Mason to be active, but now that his opposition is guys at low level. Mason scared Yohan Vasquez last year on November 8. He was dropped by Vasquez twice in the first round, and might have been knocked out if this man did not injure his leg. Since that battle, Mason has been linked to successive competitions against poor opponents without power.
Resulted growth
It is excellent that the top rank Abdullah is carefully similar to developing him, but he will not get better if he fights against these kinds of opponents. He may have stayed in the amateurs because he would fight better opposition and truly develop.
Fighters who are early pro, like Mason, don’t do themselves right, especially if they are with a promotional outfit that fit them in a way to create plastic records like the one Edgar Berlanga has when he was with the top rank. Sixteen first round was a red flag that Berlanga did not develop. Now we see the same thing with Mason.
