Abdullah Mason is lethal in the ring just like Bruce Carrington, and Gervonta Davis(One Punch Knockout Artist's)!

I'd like to see these lightweight prospects start to fight each other. No marinating, they can always run it back later.

He looks very good at this point and due to his age they should allow him to develop properly without a rush but still up the competition fight by fight. I can see him being a champion plus he seem to have a level head and good upbringing which goes a long way.

Too young man. Boxing is the only pro sport with Athletes from 16-22yo. At those years, boxers are still developing physically. Some men also tend to mature later than others. But by the time an athlete is 24, they should be full framed. I know its frustrating tho but manager and promoters have to protect their investments.

I've just spent 20 years watching ShoBox with COUNTLESS young prospects facing each other early in their careers, teens, early twenties, with many going on to become contenders, win world titles. Undefeated fighters putting their records on the line against each other. All that happens with most marinating examples is the luster is gone when one fighter loses before they meet in a showdown and the spark of such a matchup diminishes as the result.

ShoBox was a great platform for so many boxers
I still can’t digest this lose your 0 and your done , ridiculous
How are they supposed to perfect their craft if not to fight win or lose

Not that it's really important or changes your wider point, which is a good one, but the above quoted statement is patently untrue.
