Abdullah Mason vs. Sam Noakes: Prediction
My prediction is a unanimous decision win for Mason, because even though both are big punchers, he’s much quicker than Noakes, and he can happily wait for him to come in and throw counterpunches that inflict significant damage.
Mason’s best punches are the left straight and the right hook. Usually, he’s the one pressuring his opponents against the ropes, but he can also adjust and become the counterpuncher. Additionally, he’s very disciplined on the defensive end and always has his hands up after every exchange.
Meanwhile, Noakes throws fewer punches during fights. However, he makes sure to throw a lot of power behind it because he knows that once it lands, it will hurt his opponents or significantly compromise them.
But, as mentioned earlier, the quickness and speed of Mason is going to be the biggest difference in this match, especially if Noakes decides to move forward and force Mason to be the counterpuncher because he thrives in that role.
