Mason Beats Noakes To Become WBO Lightweight Champ
Abdullah Mason beat Sam Noakes to secure the vacant WBO Lightweight Title in a unanimous decision, 117-111, 115-113, 115-113, as you can see how the fight played out live.
Mason was riding an impressive wave of dominance, having secured ten consecutive stoppage victories before this fight. His last outing saw him dominate Jeremia Nakathila, forcing a stoppage in the fifth round. Mason’s move up to world-title level in a major event like the Riyadh Season card was a massive step up. Meanwhile, Noakes is renowned for his concussive power, with the vast majority of his wins coming by knockout. His recent stoppage victory over Patrik Balaz proved that. However, he was no match for Mason.
