Lightweight contender Abdullah Mason is already thinking of a battle between him and the popular Emiliano Vargas of 140 pounds for what he feels to be a ‘big battle in the future’.
The son of the former 154 pound Ferando Vargas champion Emilano Vargas (13-0, 11 COs), quickly gain popularity from fans with his strength and fast knockouts. Only 20, Emiliano has a lot of time to continue progressing. A fight between him and Abdullah Mason will be great in a few years if both guys continue to win.
Future battle?
‘For him to say that after dropping twice in November (by Yohan Vasquez), where I stopped the (*injured, one -legged) man in the next round (2nd), it shows you where I am as a fighter. The Ring Magazine.
“That’s probably exactly what it was,” Mason said when asked if Emiliano Vargas should see that he was dropped twice to gain confidence to fight against him. “Nobody said anything about any kind of struggle. We know that He has His people (fanbase), and I have my people. It would be a big fight in the future. “
It was a bad sign that Mason was dropped twice by travel man Yohan Vasquez on November 8 last year. This confirmed what Floyd Schofield’s father said that Abdullah is Chinny and can’t take a good shot without faltering. Yet Mason has an excellent push, and if he focuses on his defense, a clash between him and Emiliano Vargas would be the one.
Mason (17-0, 15 food) has just turned 21 and is considered the next superstar in the 135 pound division. With the lightweight division that does not have stars, Abdullah has to rise in weight to get the big money fights against vargas.
Mason is fighting against Carlos Ornelas (28-4, 15 COs) tonight in a 10-round competition, Live on ESPN+ at the Palms Casino Resort, Las Vegas. Abdullah must look good in this struggle to quiet the criticism he gets from fans.
Sneaky 101
Given Mason’s shaky performance against Vasquez in November in November, that could be the reason why the top match matches chose the poor striking ornelas from the Super Featherweight section for Mason to fight rather than choose a lightweight.
It is Sneaky Matchmaking 101But they cannot protect Abdullah Mason forever. If he doesn’t have the chin to fight guys with good power, he will eventually be found out, and the carpet will pull out from under him. He will be like any fragile capside in the sport, and there are a whole lot of them. Right now, Mason should be considered a flawed product.
So unless the top rank this diamond can shine in the rough way they have done with their smart match Keyshawn DavisMay he not take out as a pro. They made Keyshawn in a world champion in 135 without ever fighting a vibrant body. They can do the same with Abdullah, but of course it is not a permanent solution to the problem.
