WBO Orders Abdullah Mason Vs. Sam Noakes For Vacant Lightweight Title

WBO has officially ordered 1 Sam nokees to start negotiations to face #2 Abdullah Mason to obtain a vacant light weight title. Fighters have 20 days to collect a deal.

It is a big step for Noakes (17-0, 15 KOS), who was fighting at the local level of his six-year career. He ranked first with WBO, but his autobiography is arid from the competitors. There is no single competitor to the NOAKES appeal.

WBO Order Mason Loakes Lightweight Title Fight

On paper, this is a terrible mismatch in favor of Mason. This battle will make the WBO look bad because it is given in the unintended arrangement, limited in the number 1 standings without proving itself. As an institution, you want to make realistic options for classifications. NOAKES mode in #1 meaningless.

WBO clearly has the reasons for giving Noks A #1, but the reality is that it is not at the level of half of the opponents that Mason fought in the past. As such, it is a single conclusion that Abdullah (19-0, 17 KOS) will win and be the next light WBO champion.

The fans wanted to order WBO to the component of Abdullah Mason to fight Edwin de Los Santos or Andy Cruz for the title of 135 vacancies, not Noeks. These two were more worthy of Mason to fight for the vacant title.

Is Mason very small for the title?

There is some concern that Mason, 21, is too small to fight the 27 -year -old NOAKES and you should wait. Some people believe that even if Abdullah is picking the title of the vacant WBO by winning, he is smaller than holding the belt against the wolves that will come for him.

Mason Protection Challenge in Top Rank

The first rank could not protect Mason as they did with careful success as soon as he is a hero. Once he has a WBO title, there will be a goal on his back, and the predator will come in his light weight section. As expected, you will avoid the first rank as fighters like Andy Cruz, Raymond Moratala, Shakur Stevenson, and Jervonta Defis. Mason is very green to fight any of these four fighters.

The title of WBO became vacant after Kishon Davis missed the defense of the title against De Los Santos last Friday. Davis came in weight gain 4.3 pounds, which some fans felt that they were intended to miss either to earn a feature or avoid the battle completely. In the end, the match was canceled after the De Los Santos management decided not to pass it.

The road begins to the light WBO address. 🥊
