Noakes vs Mason

Don’t sleep on Noakes, he’s had a great camp and is going in full of confidence. I expect to see him start to take over from the middle rounds.

 

I will be cheering Noakes on, but he’s really up against it. I can’t see anything other than him stopping Noakes in the second half if the fight.

The difference in speed, coupled with the southpaw stance will be a nightmare for Sam unfortunately.

 

Abdullah Mason has a glass jaw!

 

Shakur Stevenson on sparring Noakes

"Truthfully, I ain’t gonna lie, he’s probably one of the strongest fighters that I've been in the ring with at 135lbs. He’s got a lot of power, he’s real tough too. Good fighter.”

 

Would love nothing more than to see Midge get a hand on a world title. Everyone here in Maidstone would be so proud of him. I've not seen much of Mason though, I've been hearing a lot of people say that he might just be the future of US boxing. Sounds like Sam will have to bring his A-game.

 

Because he was dropped twice by a nobody. Definitely big question marks over his chin and defence.

Very interesting fight .. Hope Sam wins , not sold on the Abdullah hype ..

 

Came up short, but earned respect tonight. Great effort Midge!

 

Noakes didn’t look out of place at World level and gave a hell of a performance. Midge will definitely come back stronger.

 

Mason comes to 140, Adam Azim will beat the breaks off him .. Sam bless him done well last night ..

 

Great effort by Noakes. Get him back out March time against a fringe world level opponent.

 

It was definitely the fight of the night on a PPV card that was a bit disappointing.

 

Nokes proved last night that he can win a World Title.

Always love to see a guy go in as underdog and do well even though it ended in defeat.
