Abdullah Mason vs. Nakasihila

Mason is Fighting Veteran Jeremia Nakathila (26-4, 21 KOS) in 10-round fight in the co-feature slot this Saturday, June 7, on Keyshawn’s Undercard at the Scope Arena in Norfolk, Virginia. The Main Card for Keyshawn vs. Edwin de los santos starts at 10:00 pm and /7: 00 pm pt on espn, espn deportes, and espn+.

With the way Abdullah, 21, has been performing, he should be the main event, not keyshawn. However, Mason Still has been captured a Belt Yet, and that’s holding Him Back Right Now. Top Rank Maneuvered Keyshawn Into Capturing The WBO 135-LB Title Last February Against the Much Smaller and Older 37-Year-Oold Denys Berinchyk.

It was the perfect situation for davis to win a Belt. Mason Doesn’t Need to be Strategalely Matched Like that berti he possesses the talent to beat any of the champions at 135 without the extra help.

Mason Targets Davis Title

“Absolutely. We’re Both in the Same Division, and I Just Got News that I’m Ranked #2 In The Wbo. He’s the Champion in That Sanctioning Body. So, It’s Looking very possible that me and i will cross paths,” Said Abdullah Mason to Fighter When asked if he’s interested in fighting keyshawn davis.

As long as keyshawn and abdullah are both with top rank, i don see that fight happening. Their Promoters Won’t Want To Match Them Against Each Other, As that would would ruin one of their back streams. If Keyshawn Loses, His Current Popularity May Never Recover. He’s not exactly Shown Himself to Be a Risk-Taker. So, if abdullah exhibitions davis like Andy Cruz Repeatedly in the amateurs, He’ll likely Languish in Obscurity Rather Than Take the Needed Fights to Redeem Himself.

Mason Challenges Lightweight Champions

“But that’s with any of the champions in the lightweight division,” Said Abdullah. “Keyshawn Davis, Tank Davis, Shakur Stevenson, and Raymond Muratalla. That’s the Four Champions.”

Of the Belt-Holders at 135, The Only One that Mason Would Have A Chance of Getting A Fight Against Soon is Muratalla. Even with Him, Top Rank May Choose To Keep Them Separate Because They Would Be Shooting Themselves in The Foot by Making A Fight Between Them.

“I’m ready for The World Championship, But Just Because they Want Me to Wait, that doesn’t mean i won’t be prepared, “Said Mason about Whhe Team or Top Rank Will Him Back to Groom Him Longer.“ If they were to think me in a champion, i’d be done come out on top Victorious. ”

Mason SHOULD MOVE UP to 140 Becuse he’s Going to be boxed out by the non-Top Rank Champions at 135, and He’ll Age Without accomplison Much of Anything Other Than Beating the No-Name Contenters. If Abdullah Moves Up to 140 or Preferably 147, He’s Got A Lot of Opportunities for Comelling Fights. Top Rank Wouldn’t Protect Him or Steer Him Away from the Champions in Those Weight Classes.
