This past weekend, Abdullah Mason delivered a performance that has the boxing world buzzing. In what was considered a step-up fight, Mason made it look effortless, securing a knockout victory against Mike Ohan Jr. The fight didn’t even make it past the second round. Mason knocked Ohan down in the first with a perfectly timed uppercut and then finished the job in the second round with a straight left hand followed by a hook.
With 13 knockouts in 15 fights, Mason’s record speaks for itself. But it’s not just his power that’s turning heads—it's his all-around skill set. His defense is tight, his combinations are sharp, and he’s a thinker in the ring, always a step ahead of his opponents. And let’s not forget, he’s a southpaw, which adds an extra layer of difficulty for anyone facing him. All these attributes combined make Mason a formidable threat to anyone in his division.
At just 20 years old, Mason is already being fast-tracked by Top Rank, and for good reason. With 15 fights under his belt, he’s quickly becoming one of the most talented young fighters in the sport. It’s not hard to imagine him being a title contender as early as next year.
Of course, whether he’ll get a title shot that soon is another question. Even if it doesn’t happen next year, there are plenty of potential matchups that could further elevate his career. The only question is: Will anyone be willing to step into the ring with him?
Abdullah Mason has already shown that he’s a force to be reckoned with, and it’s clear that he’s on the path to stardom. As fans, we can only look forward to what the future holds for this young phenom.
