Juan shares his thoughts and feelings about the latest news in the sport of boxing. Shakur Stevenson signs with Zuffa, PBC signs with DAZN, Richardson Hitchins signs an affidavit.
We saw the first instance of this, the first iteration between Abdullah Mason and his opponent, Albert Bell.
He didn't get many opportunities in his career.
This was his first opportunity.
Shot at a world championship.
I thought he fought extremely well.
I thought he won about four, maybe five rounds.
He faced adversity and he got through it.
He dealt with the jab.
He dealt with the distance.
He dealt with the patience of Bell and the IQ that I think Albert Bell brought to the table.
And when things got tough, when his corner told him the fight was in jeopardy, Abdullah Mason did exactly what a champion should do.
He went to the body.
He was relentless, he was focused, and he understood that the fight was close and he needed to turn up.
He needed to have that performance in the second half because if he didn't, he would have lost his championship and he would have had his first L.
I think that showed here.
But when it came to that championship pedigree, I don't think that he had what it takes at the end of the day.
He took his will from him.
