00:00All right gentlemen, in the dressing room, you both receive the same instructions, whatever
00:07you do, do it within the rules of boxing, you protect yourself at all times and obey
00:11my commands at all times.
00:12Let's touch up.
00:13Thank you.
00:14Luis LeBron opposite Abdullah Mason is an 11-year pro, we've seen him against Duke
00:19Reagan, seen him against Henry LeBron, that was back in New York, and he understands how
00:26to go about this, Timmy.
00:27He says, I'm going to take the fight right to Abdullah.
00:29Pressure, I understand he's the better technician, I've got to work smart, but the pressure's
00:33on him, I have nothing to lose, he told us.
00:35Yeah, I doubt that.
00:36You know, when you're in there with a superior counterpuncher with speed, reflexes, as well
00:41as a Mason, you're going to take your time.
00:45He's going to force you to take your time, because any time or any mistake you make,
00:49he's going to make you pay.
00:51You know, I think that LeBron's going to try to take this fight deep, and the reason for
00:56that is because Abdullah's never been past six rounds.
01:01Is scheduled for eight.
01:04Ring walk came down to purple rain, and he's got the purple trunks, the full purple kit
01:09with the bedazzled, I mean, look at these kicks.
01:12It's going to be a really good test, and things will heat up midway if LeBron feels that he
01:22can deal with the punching power and the accuracy of the young fella.
01:28He's going to turn it up.
01:29He's going to see, he's going to find a way to test that chin.
01:32Again, you don't know how good a fighter is until he gets hit.
01:37Once he gets hit, you see how he reacts, then we understand what we got here.
01:41There are all those unique rungs on the ladder of being a prized prospect.
01:45When you're somebody like Abdullah Mason, as you see the pressure from LeBron as he
01:49heads up against the ropes for a second, Abdullah turns back to the center of the ring
01:53and applies that southpaw jab, but just getting back to that conversation, Timmy, obviously
01:58matchmaking is critical when you have such a prized blue-chip guy like Abdullah Mason,
02:03a guy that everybody in the boxing biz says is an absolute can't-miss, but who you place
02:09him in against, and those stages of development as you go from four-rounders to six-rounders
02:14to eight-rounders, the opponents serve a purpose, and having an opponent who can pressure
02:20you, who can hit you, who can have you find out something about yourself is a very important
02:26step.
02:27It is a very important thing.
02:28I mean, you have Abdullah that's coming into this matchup with three knockouts, back-to-back
02:34knockouts.
02:35He's in there with the most experienced guy that he's ever faced in his entire career
02:38on a huge stage, so you wonder how he's going to be able to deal with the pressure that
02:42comes with this as well, and he still has to perform and look flawless doing it, Tess.
02:55LeBron just slowly, slowly, methodically just coming forward.
03:00Left uppercut, then backs up with the right hand.
03:02He's just defense, defense, defense right now.
03:05Oh, look at that.
03:06He's able to slip and go to the body with the left hand, was Mason.
03:09Yeah, LeBron knows that he's outgunned.
03:11He knows that the speed differential, so he's going to have to depend on timing, and
03:17he's being defensively sound right now, just inching closer and closer to the southpaw,
03:22Mason.
03:25Double Mason, the first of our fighters in the spotlight tonight, Keyshawn Davis will
03:31be coming up next.
03:32He's now top 10 at 135 pounds, but a few years ago, Timmy, you came up with this label of
03:38saying somebody's got your double stamp as a can't-miss, a double-stamp prospect, says
03:45Tim Bradley, that you stamp him, and currently, you've got a Double Mason number one on your
03:51list of double-stamp prospects of the best young fighters in the world, so take us through
03:57it.
03:58See, the thing is, is that when you have the fundamentals down, Tess, master, oh, let's
04:03take you through it right now.
04:04Double Mason, I mean, this is a young man that bares his teeth.
04:07Right now, he's just getting started, trust me, he's going to turn it up at the right
04:11time.
04:12Now, Emilio Vargas, a dynamic young fighter with great promise, and he has a flair to
04:17him, and then my man Troy Isley right here, my gosh, he's the transformer, he can be whatever
04:22he needs to be to win fights, and then there's a new face on there, Blanco, yes, you made
04:27it on there, champ, yes, you did.
04:29He's a delight to watch, he's a guy that looks for the knockout at 140 pounds, and of course,
04:35you got my man Tiger Johnson, I mean, there's no Tiger that same stripes, they don't have
04:39the same stripes.
04:40This young man right here, he knows what he's doing, he's got that ring.
04:44For Mason against LeBron, you saw, there it is, you may have heard, there's the combination,
04:49there's the hand speed as well.
04:50You heard from his father, Valiant, his 52-year-old father, he's his trainer, he said, take your
04:55time and keep it simple.
04:57That was the message to Abdullah Mason, I want to ask you about the relationship with
05:02Valiant Mason.
05:03His father, who trained in martial arts and raises his boys and his sons, they grew up
05:09taking part in training in all various forms of martial arts as well as boxing, it's a
05:14well-traveled family as well, they're originally born and raised in Bedford, Ohio, but they
05:19spent time overseas in Yemen for a year, they moved to Egypt for a year, they are a very
05:24religious family, very observant religious family, but that is a cohesive unit that leads
05:30to success.
05:32Respect, father's a teacher, discipline, discipline test, self-belief, all the things that the
05:44father has instilled in his young man, and the skills, the skills as you see him working
05:49those combinations.
05:50Oh, good body shot, Timmy.
05:54There was an uppercut about 20 seconds ago, and after that you saw blood immediately come
05:59from the nose of LeBron.
06:01Tess, this is not what you're watching right now, it's not a normal 20-year-old, I promise
06:07you that.
06:08Look how calm he is.
06:10I was just about to say, did you just see how comfortable he was on the inside?
06:14Now he has LeBron now, dripping, look at the noise, dripping, the blood dripping down his
06:19nose right now.
06:20This is LeBron's 27th pro fight, this is a veteran guy who's been in against good competition,
06:28and early on, Mason is in complete control.
06:32He's not coming forward anymore, LeBron, he's stepping back, he's respecting the young man,
06:36he's putting combinations together, you heard him with that shot, it's over.
06:41Round number two, and the young sensation of Double Mason has LeBron in trouble.
06:48Look at that face.
06:51Let's watch if this young man, this number one prospect in the world, can close the show.
07:00Mason, puts him down again, right hooks did it this time, just an onslaught of offense.
07:13LeBron's face a bloody mess, he's been down two times.
07:20Final seconds of round two, Abdullah, patiently just waiting on him.
07:32And LeBron's going to get some more pain in round three, you just know it.
07:38Okay.
07:39Be patient, be patient, you see how it happens?
07:42Nothing.
07:43Come on, come on.
07:44It's nothing.
07:45Not even breathing hard.
07:47Take the chair.
07:48It's nothing.
07:49You ready to get him out of here?
07:51My goodness.
07:55Yes, yes.
08:04Let's look at that first knockdown, Timmy.
08:06This explosive stuff right here by Mason.
08:09Getting in the range, nice short uppercut right there, but then comes around that guard.
08:13You understand that?
08:14When you have the high guard, there's space around that guard.
08:17He hit him right on the earlobe.
08:19Here's the second knockdown.
08:21Second knockdown.
08:23Same spot, over and over and over again.
08:26You can see LeBron right there, doesn't like that heat at all.
08:29That is firepower coming his way.
08:31So the second knockdown is three right hooks to the side of the head.
08:34First knockdown, uppercut, right hook to the temple.
08:37Rear left hook, power hand.
08:39Let's see here, round number three.
08:43Look at the speed, the accuracy, the quickness.
08:47His father told him to be patient and have some fun.
08:51Boy, oh boy, is it fun to be Abdelmason.
08:54Yeah, but he's patient.
08:55To be this good this young.
08:56Yeah, but he's patient, but he's assertive.
08:58Yes.
08:59That's the difference.
09:01He doesn't mind going to the action.
09:03He doesn't mind being close test.
09:05He doesn't mind taking risks.
09:06That's what makes him so fun to watch.
09:08And again, left uppercut it started with.
09:11Stab jab from that southpaw position.
09:16Now posting, looking for range, possibly for that left hand.
09:22LeBron trying to fire back.
09:24Trying to keep the young, charging sensation off of him.
09:29Blood continues to stream from the nose.
09:33Body attack from Abdelma.
09:37Oh, what a shot.
09:38Then he goes to the body.
09:41The hand speed, the total package.
09:44Upstairs, downstairs, LeBron's hurt again, backing up into that corner.
09:48They're going to throw him in the towel.
09:50His corner has seen enough and we want to see more of Abdelmason.
09:57How good is this young man?
10:00Come on with it, Timmy.
10:04Oh yeah.
10:10As if the lightweight division isn't good enough.
10:15You got a 20-year-old rocket riot coming after him.
10:20Welcome world to Abdelmason.
10:25Write his name down right now.
10:29That was spectacular.
10:34Beautiful, beautiful.
10:37Shakur Stevenson himself, the champion in this division.
10:40The guy who will be in the spotlight at home later tonight.
10:43Tweets about him saying he's the complete future.
10:46Here's how it all started, Timmy.
10:48This beautiful work, nice little up jab right there from Mason.
10:53Combinations on the inside.
10:55He's going to get to it right here.
10:57Those combinations, I haven't seen fast, accurate combinations like that since Roy Jones Jr.
11:03Understanding that he had his man hurt.
11:06Just complete destruction.
11:08William Cruz, the trainer of Louis LeBron, you just did the right thing.
11:12Yes, he did.
11:13You just did the right thing.
11:14He knew his fighter was outgunned from the beginning.
11:17From the beginning, Tess.
11:20But this is great stuff.
11:22This is supposed to be one of the toughest fights of this young man's career.
11:25He's supposed to get some rounds in, Tess, and he made it look easy.
