00:00 Alright Boxers, you received your instructions earlier.

00:03 As a reminder, obey my commands at all times, protect yourself at all times.

00:07 Touch him up. Good luck.

00:08 Don't go nowhere. People at home watching, don't go anywhere.

00:11 Stay home. Watch this young man perform.

00:17 I mean, y'all ain't for show.

00:19 He's been impressive every time out.

00:22 And Cesar Villarraga ended a 5 fight knockout streak 2 fights ago, but he's back on it.

00:28 Against Jose Cardenas in November of 2023 and he starts off his 2024 campaign.

00:34 Tim, hoping to become the prospect of the year.

00:38 He might be past that. He might be a contender, you know.

00:42 Sometimes you never know how this game is going to go.

00:45 It all depends on your performances inside the ring against the competition that they provide for you inside the ring.

00:52 However, tonight he's facing a southpaw.

00:55 This is a close stand battle right here.

00:58 You usually don't see two southpaws going at it like this.

01:02 It's going to be interesting to see how well Mason can adjust to the southpaw.

01:07 This is only my second southpaw as a pro, but I've faced plenty of southpaws, not only in the amateurs, but also in the gym.

01:14 You see the quick hands from Abdullah Mason here against the former US Army veteran, Grumet.

01:24 He's a little bit slower. Sometimes he can rush things a little bit.

01:27 He doesn't realize he has 8 rounds. It almost seems that way.

01:31 He has 8 rounds to work. He's used to fighting 4 or 6 rounders and such.

01:37 But you see him rushing every now and then.

01:39 What he needs to do is take his time, let the fight develop, use his jab, take a look at Grumet.

01:49 He's 19 years old. He talks to us about how he's seeing things slow down in front of him.

01:54 And that's what allows him to not only perplex his opponents, but punish his opponents, as we've seen with 9 knockouts in 11 career fights.

02:05 Grumet, no stranger to punishment. He was down twice in his pro career against Alan Rosas,

02:14 but he got off the canvas to win by knockout in the third round.

02:17 So there's toughness from the former US Army veteran.

02:20 Grumet's tough, you can tell. He knows what he's doing inside the ring.

02:23 You see him reaching around to land that body shot.

02:26 And then he's sneaking behind when you see Mason out of position.

02:30 Mason now coming back with his own offense.

02:34 Didn't like the position he was in, and he changed the tide real quick.

02:38 And now he's got Grumet back against the ropes.

02:42 But Grumet does really well to get off the ropes and now try to pin Mason.

02:47 And this is the one thing that we question about Mason, is that man strength.

02:51 He's only 19 years old, but he's holding his own against a 31 year old.

02:56 And you see the power of Abdullah Mason.

02:58 And you see the offensive prowess.

03:01 You know, you don't see a guy that's just looking to counter punch.

03:05 You see him on his front foot, knife cut, a little abrasion over the right eye of Grumet.

03:11 And you see underneath the right eye, the inflammation also on Grumet,

03:16 an Army veteran who served in Djibouti as well as Kansas.

03:20 And right now he's in a tough battle against Abdullah Mason.

03:26 Back to his corner and listen to his father, Valium.

03:32 [MUSIC]

03:43 [FOREIGN]

03:53 [MUSIC]

04:03 [FOREIGN]

04:13 [MUSIC]

04:23 Wanted to listen to Abdullah Mason's corner, his father Valium,

04:26 who were hitting the corner of Benjamin Grumet in Spanish, saying,

04:29 "Hey, you got two hands. Go out there and throw them."

04:32 Ray Barrera with the instructions.

04:35 You know, I like the offensive prowess.

04:38 I love the energy that Mason brings into the ring.

04:41 Ooh, that stick, Tim.

04:43 That's a mean jab. That's a mean jab.

04:46 However, if Mason was to slow things down a bit, I think he'll be a lot more effective.

04:54 Grumet trying to pressure the young man.

05:00 That's exactly what Grumet needs to do because he's not going to match him skill for skill.

05:04 He just needs to take advantage of either the low points or sneak behind that offense,

05:09 which he does by stepping and stepping under Mason to get inside just to work some offense.

05:16 And he's jabbing with him, so you get a good jabber, you jab with him.

05:20 It'd be the battle of jabs.

05:22 But then you have the power of Mason.

05:24 You saw that double left hand and you saw Grumet retreat toward the robes.

05:28 And Mason now looking to put an end to this fight.

05:31 Those left hooks landing cleanly on the chin of Grumet,

05:34 who finally was going down and held onto the ropes, and it's a knockdown.

05:38 Four, five, six, seven, eight.

05:43 You all right? Yeah. Walk over here.

05:46 You sure you're okay? Yeah.

05:47 I'm going to give you a real short leash. You got to show me something, all right?

05:50 You're taking a lot of punishment.

05:51 Love that. Love that.

05:53 Excellent job from Harvey Dock from the state of New York.

05:57 Oh, what a finish from Abdullah Mason.

06:00 He didn't need a short leash.

06:02 All he needed was one shot to say goodnight.

06:07 Wow.

06:09 Now we know, Tim, why he's the number one double step prospect on your list.

06:15 He's number two.

06:18 Oh, yeah.

06:19 With that performance.

06:20 Oh, my.

06:21 Shoo, shoo. You got company.

06:23 You got company.

06:24 Shoo, shoo.

06:26 Gosh.

06:27 Did you see that left hand?

06:29 No, you saw it.

06:30 You just witnessed it.

06:31 You witnessed the same thing I witnessed, right?

06:33 It's beautiful work, man.

06:34 That is lightning in a bottle, Tim.

06:36 Look, look, look, look.

06:37 I'm going to tell you something.

06:38 He's offensive-minded.

06:40 Yes.

06:41 That's what makes him exciting.

06:43 People want to see a fight.

06:44 You're going to get a fight when you see this young man fight.

06:47 He's entertaining, and I get the level of competition he's facing right now.

06:52 Let's be real.

06:53 However, again, let me tell you all, let me preach how you do it.

06:58 Not everybody performs to this level when they get this type of competition.

07:03 That's the difference here.

07:05 At 19 years old, Abdullah Mason is now 12 and 0 with 10 knockouts,

07:11 and most have been highlight reel knockouts.

07:15 We're going to take a look at the first knockdown with a series of punches,

07:18 but the finish was brutal.

07:20 Again, the start right here.

07:22 Initiating an offense, not afraid to step into the pocket.

07:25 That's what you're seeing.

07:26 Left hand after left hand.

07:27 Knew he had his man hurt.

07:29 Stepped in.

07:30 You see Doc.

07:31 That was nice, straight left hands, Tim, and here's the finish.

07:34 Here it is.

07:35 Timing.

07:36 Got the high guard up.

07:37 He waiting for the chance.

07:38 Mid-range jab.

07:39 Why you going to do that, son?

07:42 Some punches to the left, you shouldn't throw some punches,

07:44 especially a jab at mid-range.

07:47 Wow.

07:48 This is just ridiculous.

07:50 Accuracy, power, and destruction.

07:53 Throw the jab at mid-range.

07:55 Go ahead.

07:56 You're not supposed to do that.

07:59 Let's listen to what I'm about to do.

08:01 I'm going to just be quiet.

08:02 [music]

08:11 Check that man's knee out.

08:13 He put him in A.

08:14 That's a yoga position right there, right?

08:16 Put him in a yoga position with that shot.

08:19 That's called the KO yoga position.

08:21 My goodness.

08:23 Man, look, look.

08:24 I'm excited.

08:26 I can't wait to see him step up his competition and see what he can do at the next level.

08:32 Whether it's a former world champion or another undefeated prospect, something.

08:39 But he needs another test right now.

08:41 Another test moving forward.

08:44 This is the second consecutive knockout in a row?

08:48 I'm just out of high school, Tim.

08:49 19 years old, blowing guys out.

08:51 I understand, but I see people all the time.

08:53 I see people, young as Serena Williams and young men doing things that they're not supposed to at a certain age.

08:59 They're young prodigies.

09:01 That's what it is.

09:02 I said you're going to see an uber prospect tonight.

09:04 This young man is that.

09:07 Abdullah Mason, what's the official time of the stoppage mark?

09:10 Ladies and gentlemen, here inside Michelob Ultra Arena, this bout comes to a conclusion at 1 minute, 29 seconds.

09:17 Of round number 2, for your winner by technical knockout, Abdullah Mason!

09:27 [music]

09:30 12-0, 10 knockouts for Abdullah Mason.

09:34 This is what it looked like.

09:36 As impressive a knockout as you're going to see on such a great weekend.

09:40 That's his father and his brothers.
