Abdullah Mason is highly impressive, winning easily on the Stevenson-Harutyunyan undercard

NEWARK, NJ — It is a little hard to believe that Abdullah Mason is still in his embryonic stage. Anyone between 135 and 147 better watch when this phase passes, which it looks like it is happening fast. The 20-year-old southpaw looks awfully good, too good, right now as his young career blossoms.

The 5-foot-9 Mason was supposed to be facing his toughest opponent Saturday night on the undercard of the Shakur Stevenson WBC lightweight title defense against Artem Harutyunyan at the Prudential Center.
